Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe (2009, methodology): “The Gaussen index [total precipitation - (2 ¥ mean temperature); after Toïgo et al., 2006] was calculated as a measure of drought in spring (April–”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “…by Langvatn and Albon (1986) have been observed by Schmidt et al. (2001) in red deer on the Isle of Rum in northern Scotland, as well as in roe deer (Hewison et al. 2002, Kjellander et al. 2006, Toigo et al. 2006), white-tailed deer (McCullough 1984), and sika deer (Yokoyama et al. 2000).”
Investigating population dynamics in ungulates: Do hunting statistics make up a good index of population abundance? (2010, background): “The presence of wild ungulates in Mediterranean ecosystems is in fact quite limited, so that there are few possibilities to study the population dynamics of these communities (but see Gaillard et al. 2003, Toı̈go et al. 2006).”
The ability to perform physically challenging songs predicts age and size in male swamp sparrows, Melospiza georgiana (2009, background): “Studies in mammals found that body size and mass were better predictors of phenotypic quality than body condition (Toigo et al. 2006).”
