• Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Late spring through early fall foraging plays a critical role for body size in reindeer from three populations in Norway (Reimers et al. 1983), whereas nutrition during winter affects maintenance and survival, but not size (Skogland 1990, Parker et al. 2005).”
• Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “Research typically has focused on nutrition during winter, likely because of the conspicuous effects of malnutrition during that season (Kucera 1997, Parker et al. 2005, Page and Underwood 2006).”
• Influence of Summer and Autumn Nutrition on Body Condition and Reproduction in Lactating Mule Deer (2010, background): “Because winter starvation is the most visible effect of nutrition on wild ungulates, research and management has typically focused on winter nutrition and forage quality (Gray and Servello 1995, Fauchald et al. 2004, Parker et al. 2005, Page and Underwood 2006, and Sauve and Cote 2006).”
• Variation in Calf Body Mass in Migratory Caribou: The Role of Habitat, Climate, and Movements (2009, background): “During winter, caribou subsist primarily on lichens that are low in protein (Parker et al. 2005), so that pregnant females rely heavily on their own body protein reserves to nourish their growing fetus.”
• Tracing the ecophysiology of ungulates and predator–prey relationships in an early Pleistocene large mammal community (2008, background): “3) could indicate increased recycling of nitrogen from body protein during winter due to a poor quality diet (Barboza and Reynolds, 2004; Parker et al., 2005).”
