Selection of Northern Yellowstone Elk by Gray Wolves and Hunters (2006, background): “Local sport hunters and citizen’s groups have expressed concern about wolf predation levels on ungulates, as well as impacts on elk-calf recruitment (Herring 2000, Zumbo 2000a,b).”
Empirical Evidence of Density- Dependence in Populations of Large Herbivores (2009, background): “This problem is particularly acute in species where adults cannot be reliably aged, so that exact age is known only for animals first marked when aged 2 years or less (Hamlin et al., 2000).”
Validating Predictive Models of Nutritional Condition for Mule Deer (2007, methodology): “We used the first incisor to estimate age to the nearest year by examination of annuli (Hamlin et al. 2000; Matson’s Laboratory, Milltown, MT).”
Monitoring Population Size of Red Deer Cervus Elaphus: An Evaluation of Two Types of Census Data from Norway (2007, background): “…the age of calves, yearlings and 2-year old deer on the basis of tooth eruption patterns (Mitchell & Youngson 1969, Loe et al. 2004), whereas for older animals we determined their age on the basis of cementum annuli in the root of the first incisor (Reimers & Nordby 1968, Hamlin et al. 2000).”
Climate-induced variation in vital rates of an unharvested large-herbivore population (2003, methodology): “A canine tooth was extracted at the time of capture, with age determined at a later date by counting root cementum structures (Hamlin et al. 2000).”
Climate‐dependent allocation of resources to secondary sexual traits in red deer (2005, methodology): “Most animals were aged using annuli in the cementum of the first incisor (Reimers and Nordby 1968, Hamlin et al. 2000), only younger animals 246 OIKOS 111:2 (2005) (calves and yearlings) were aged by pattern of tooth eruption (Loe et al. 2004).”
Plant phenology, migration and geographical variation in body weight of a large herbivore: the effect of a variable topography (2001, unknown): “mination in calves and yearlings was based on tooth eruption patterns, whereas older animals were aged using annuli in the cementum of the first incisor (Hamlin et al. 2000).”
Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear (2017, unknown): “Elk age was estimated using cementum analysis of an extracted vestigial upper canine (Hamlin et al. 2000), and pregnancy was determined from a serum sample using the pregnancy-specific protein B assay (Sasser et al. 1986, Noyes et al. 1997, White et al. 2011).”
