Influence of harvest, climate and wolf predation on Yellowstone elk, 1961‐2004 (2005, unknown): “Elk data were obtained from Taper and Gogan (2002), Lemke et al. (1998), and from annual harvest reports (Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks 2004).”
Impact of Spatial and Temporal Variation in Calf Survival on the Growth of Elk Populations (2007, unknown): “…in calf survival resulting from stochastic events (such as harsh winters [Singer et al. 1997, Smith and Anderson 1998], adverse spring conditions [Taper and Gogan 2002, Raithel 2005], and large-scale disturbance [Singer et al. 1997]) can be as great, or greater, than the variation in c resulting…”
Elk population dynamics in areas with and without predation by recolonizing wolves in Banff National Park, Alberta (2002, result): “The limiting effect of wolf predation and mean snow depth on elk population growth, and the regulatory effect of elk density on elk population growth in the absence of wolves, are consistent with the findings of researchers studying northern ungulates elsewhere (Messier 1991; Gasaway et al. 1992; Or”
