Trophic cascades in Yellowstone: The first 15 years after wolf reintroduction (2012, background): “This landscape-scale shift in elk space use was likely caused by higher predator densities, more predation, deeper snow, and increased risk levels in the Lamar Valley compared to low elevation sites (White et al., 2010, in press).”
Green‐wave surfing increases fat gain in a migratory ungulate (2018, background): “Drought and climate change may alter phenological events such as spring snowmelt and green-up (Badeck et al. 2004), which are drivers of ungulate migration (White et al. 2010, Monteith et al. 2011, Singh et al. 2012).”
To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “Where feeding does not alter migration, spatial and seasonal variation in nutritional carrying capacity and predation risk seem to be more important determinants of migratory behavior (Mysterud 1999, White et al. 2010).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Likewise, White et al. (2010) reported little support for effects of age or pregnancy status on timing of spring migration in North American elk.”
