Partial migration in roe deer: migratory and resident tactics are end points of a behavioural gradient determined by ecological factors (2011, methodology): “For this, the ranges of migrants and non-migrants could be compared for plant productivity in summer using a large scale index, such as NDVI (Pettorelli et al. 2005, Hebblewhite et al. 2008).”
Temperature-mediated habitat use and selection by a heat-sensitive northern ungulate (2012, background): “1990; Bo & Hjeljord 1991; Hjeljord & Histol 1999) due, in part, to an indirect effect of canopy shade on the nutritional quality of forage by delaying the growth rate and maturation of the vegetation (i.e. the forage maturation hypothesis; Hjeljord et al. 1990; Hebblewhite et al. 2008).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “…thought to have evolved in response to the dynamic patterns of forage quality and availability (Morgantini and Hudson 1989, Albon and Langvatn 1992, Hebblewhite et al. 2008), predation risk (Fryxell et al. 1988), and weather patterns (Nelson and Mech 1981, Loft et al. 1989, Kucera 1992, Grovenburg…”
Green‐wave surfing increases fat gain in a migratory ungulate (2018, background): “The FMH has received substantial empirical support (Albon and Langvatn 1992, Hebblewhite et al. 2008).”
Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape (2011, background): “For example, ungulates commonly forage in open habitat types where food plants are abundant and of high nutritional quality (Hebblewhite et al. 2008, Godvik et al. 2009).”
Distinguishing technology from biology: a critical review of the use of GPS telemetry data in ecology (2010, methodology): “Also with elk, Hebblewhite et al. (2008) found that migratory elk had exposure to higher forage quality, which translated to higher pregnancy rates and calf weight.”
Competition, predation, and migration: Individual choice patterns of Serengeti migrants captured by hierarchical models (2014, background): “That is, resident wildebeest should behave more like elk (Morales et al. 2004, Hebblewhite et al. 2008), with small steps in nutrient-rich patches and large steps between patches because the small population of resident wildebeest (about 7000) would not deplete patches at the same rate as the…”
Migration of northern Yellowstone elk: implications of spatial structuring (2010, background): “…Cervus elaphus, elk, migration, wolves, Yellowstone E 2010 American Society of Mammalogists Migration places animals under favorable conditions for survival and recruitment by increasing access to higher-quality forage or reducing predation risk, or both (Dingle 1996; Hebblewhite et al. 2008).”
Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, methodology): “Wildlife data and habitat selection We obtained wolf and elk Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry locations from previous research in the study area (Hebblewhite and Merrill 2007, Hebblewhite et al. 2008).”
On the adaptive benefits of mammal migration (2014, background): “1984),mule deer (Brown 1992), white-tailed deer (Nelson 1998), North American elk (Boyce 1991; Hebblewhite et al. 2008), and red deer (Albon and Langvatn 1992; Bischof et al.”
