• The response of fawn survival to changes in habitat quality varies according to cohort quality and spatial scale (2005, background): “Roe deer are income breed- ers sensu Jönsson (1997), as their body mass is quite constant over time both within and among years (Andersen et al. 2000) making them especially sensitive to variations in resource availability.”
• Cohort effects and deer population dynamics (2003, background): “They are income breeders (Andersen et al., 2000) and rely on food resources rather than on body reserves to cope with the marked increase of energy requirements during the late gestation–early lactation period.”
• Phenotypic quality and senescence affect different components of reproductive output in roe deer (2001, background): “stocks little fat reserves and relies on current food intake to compensate for the demands of reproduction (Andersen et al. 2000), body size, rather than body condition per se, is a good measure of phenotypic quality.”
• Individual access to preferred habitat affects fitness components in female roe deer Capreolus capreolus (2004, background): “This is also plausible, as the roe deer is characterized as an income breeder (Andersen et al. 2000), indicating that winter/ spring conditions should be of great importance for the litter size the subsequent spring.”
• Climate predictability and breeding phenology in red deer: timing and synchrony of rutting and calving in Norway and France (2005, background): “not relying on stored reserves such as capital breeders), roe deer condition does not change greatly over the year (Andersen et al. 2000) and the variation in female body condition is expected to vary less than in red deer.”
• Surviving at sea: ecological and behavioural predictors of calf mortality in Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops sp. (2005, unknown): “savannah baboons, Papio cynocephalus: Altmann 1980; vervet monkeys, Cercopithecus aethiops: Hauser & Fairbanks 1988; Fairbanks & McGuire 1995; bighorn sheep, Ovis canadensis: Festa-Bianchert & Jorgenson 1998; roe deer, Capreolus capreolus: Andersen et al. 2000; cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus: Laurenson”
• Predictors of reproductive cost in female Soay sheep (2005, background): “First, although body condition is known to play an important role in breeding decisions (Marrow et al. 1996; Andersen et al. 2000), continuous timevarying covariates like weight cannot be used as predictors in a capture–recapture framework (Nichols & Kendall 1995).”
• Influence of Summer and Autumn Nutrition on Body Condition and Reproduction in Lactating Mule Deer (2010, background): “However, Andersen et al. (2000) showed that small roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fall more toward the income breeder side of the continuum because roe deer use energy acquired during the reproductive period to support maternal care.”
• Behavioural interference between ungulate species: roe are not on velvet with fallow deer (2011, background): “Roe deer rely on food intake, rather than fat reserves, for reproduction (Hewison et al. 1996; Andersen et al. 2000): especially in females, a reduced food intake in spring, when pregnancy and lactation occur, can affect reproductive success (Pettorelli et al.”
• Using a proxy of plant productivity (NDVI) to find key periods for animal performance: the case of roe deer (2006, unknown): “As roe deer are income breeder (Andersen et al. 2000, sensu Jönsson 1997) and roe deer growth pattern follows a monomolecular model (Portier et al. 2000) with a growth rate decreasing from birth onwards, we expect (H1) a significant effect of spring/summer conditions in determining winter body…”
• Hunting increases vigilance levels in roe deer and modifies feeding site selection (2008, unknown): “As the roe deer is an income breeder (Andersen et al. 2000), it is especially dependent on a daily intake of high-quality food and should thus be particularly sensitive to risks affecting food intake rate.”
