PROTEIN CONSERVATION IN FEMALE CARIBOU (RANGIFER TARANDUS): EFFECTS OF DECREASING DIET QUALITY DURING WINTER (2005, background): “Furthermore, as dense energyrich lipid stores are depleted, the rate of depletion of protein stores (muscle mass) likely will increase (Cook et al. 2001; Torbit et al. 1985).”
Validating Predictive Models of Nutritional Condition for Mule Deer (2007, methodology): “Indices developed for mule deer in our study were similarly predictive for moose (Stephenson et al. 1998) and elk (Cook et al. 2001a).”
EFFECTS OF SUMMER‐AUTUMN NUTRITION AND PARTURITION DATE ON REPRODUCTION AND SURVIVAL OF ELK (2004, methodology): “%) and gross energy (GE: Mcal/kg) of the ingesta-free body using the following equations (Cook et al. 2001a,b): FAT = –5.53 + 4.78(BCS), and GE = 0.842 + 0.381(BCS).”
Effect of Enhanced Nutrition on Mule Deer Population Rate of Change (2009, methodology): “…on the rump (cm) and thickness of the longissimus dorsi muscle (cm) of each adult female during captures in February March using a SonoVet 2000 portable ultrasound unit (Universal Medical Systems, Bedford Hills, NY) with a 5-MHz linear transducer (Stephenson et al. 1998, 2002; Cook et al. 2001).”
Influence of harvest, climate and wolf predation on Yellowstone elk, 1961‐2004 (2005, unknown): “; Cook et al. 2001); 2) wolves have tended to select calves and elk greater than nine years of age (Smith et al. 2004) !”
