REVIEW: The management of wild large herbivores to meet economic, conservation and environmental objectives (2004, methodology): “Modelling, using parameters derived from autecological studies of impala, suggests that, under certain circumstances, strongly sex- and age-biased hunting (as occurs in game ranches and under trophy hunting) can lead to population collapse in ungulates (Fairall 1985; Mysterud, Coulson & Stenseth 20”
Effects of scale on interpreting life‐history characteristics of ungulates and carnivores (2006, background): “, 2003), although males may play some role, especially at low density (Mysterud et al., 2002).”
Sexual dimorphism, survival and dispersal in red deer (2004, background): “survival and dispersal ( Mysterud, Coulson, and Stenseth 2002 ).”
Male-male interference competition decreases spawning rate in the European bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus) (2004, background): “This complex of behavioral adaptations and counter-adaptations has clear direct consequences for individual fitness but may also affect population parameters (Mysterud et al. 2002).”
Empirical Evidence of Density- Dependence in Populations of Large Herbivores (2009, background): “In red deer (Bonenfant et al., 2002; Mysterud et al., 2002b), moose (Solberg et al., 2004; Vucetich et al., 2005) and roe deer (Pettorelli et al., 2002), adult males born at high density are lighter than those born at low density.”
Do males matter? The role of males in population dynamics (2007, background): “On a larger spatial scale, the wintering areas of many birds are segregated, so that the distances migrated can differ significantly between the sexes (Myers 1981, Cristol et al. 1999, Nebel et al. 2002).”
Ageing and reproductive effort in male moose under variable levels of intrasexual competition (2005, background): “…with an increasingly female-biased sex ratio (Solberg & Sæther 1994) may be due more probably to density dependence and possible also delayed calving (Sæther et al. 2003; review in Mysterud et al. 2002), as yearling weight in autumn was correlated with autumn calf weights (Sæther et al. 2003).”
Patterns of reproductive effort in male ungulates (2004, unknown): “A better understanding of male rutting behaviour may also give a better insight into details of population dynamics (Mysterud et al., 2002).”
Sexy to die for? Sexual selection and the risk of extinction (2003, background): “Intraspecifi c competition and density dependence Above, we have pointed to the asymmetry of the demographic importance of males and females: reproduction of females is crucial, whereas males are to some extent replaceable (Ginsberg & Milner-Gulland 1994, Kokko et al. 2001, Mysterud et al. 2002).”
Population recovery patterns of Southeast Asian ungulates after poaching (2010, background): “…appear to be in Thailand, delayed calving can place newborns and their mothers outside periods of optimal environmental conditions (e.g., plant phenology and nutrition, cover for predator avoidance) resulting in reduced calf survival and recruitment (Aung et al., 2001; Mysterud et al., 2002).”
