Developing a population target for an overabundant ungulate for ecosystem restoration (2011, background): “The 2003 density estimate was also above what is considered ‘high density’ habitat in Alaska (1Æ1 ⁄km(2); Gasaway et al. 1992; Keech et al. 2000).”
Reproductive success in female mountain goats: the influence of age and social rank (2001, background): “…in ungulates, particularly when primiparous or very old individuals are excluded (bighorn sheep: Bérubé et al. 1999; captive Barbary sheep: Cassinello & Alados 1996; horses: Monard et al. 1987; moose, Alces alces: Keech et al. 2000; roe deer, Capreolus capreolus: Andersen & Linnell 1998).”
Nutritional influences on breeding dynamics in elk (2001, background): “These marginally deficient conditions also may affect herd demographics, because late-born calves have a greater probability of dying (e.g., Clutton-Brock et al. 1982; Keech et al. 2000) and because females in poorer condition have a reduced probability of over-winter survival (Hobbs 1989).”
Growth of Male White-Tailed Deer: Consequences of Maternal Effects (2009, background): “Similarly, Keech et al. (2000) concluded that there was a direct link between reproductive investment and nutritional condition in female moose (Alces alces) and survival of their young.”
SEXUAL SEGREGATION IN RUMINANTS: DEFINITIONS, HYPOTHESES, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT (2004, background): “Moreover, biology of many cervids is especially well studied compared with other taxa of mammals that exhibit sexual segregation (Kie et al. 2003), which provides unique insights into their life histories (Keech et al. 2000; Kie 1999; Leslie et al. 1999; McCullough 1999).”
EFFECTS OF MATERNAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CLIMATIC VARIATION ON BIRTH MASSES OF ALASKAN CARIBOU (2005, background): “In addition, ungulate females must invest adequately in their offspring to meet the selective pressures of intense predation during the 1st few weeks of life (Adams et al. 1995a, 1995b; Ballard et al. 1981; Keech et al. 2000; Kunkel and Mech 1994; Singer et al. 1997).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Inadequate nutrition during gestation may result in fetal loss (Verme 1965), low birth weight and reduced probability of survival of young (Keech et al. 2000, Lomas and Bender 2007), and life-long consequences on the physical characteristics and quality of the individual (Hamel et al. 2009,…”
Revisions of Rump Fat and Body Scoring Indices for Deer, Elk, and Moose (2010, methodology): “…(e.g., Cameron 1994, Heard et al. 1997, Cook et al. 2004a, Gustine et al. 2007), fetal sex allocation (Kohlmann 1999), size and vigor of neonates (Keech et al. 2000), and probability of overwinter survival (Hobbs 1989, Cook et al. 2004a) and because fat levels can be a valuable indicator of the…”
Predation on Moose Calves by European Brown Bears (2007, background): “Except for Keech et al. (2000), who reported that calf moose survival was positively related to birth mass where predation by bears and wolves was the major cause of mortality, most studies on calf moose mortality have not reported mass of calves, which is necessary to determine whether lighter…”
Effect of Enhanced Nutrition on Mule Deer Population Rate of Change (2009, background): “Survival increased with earlier birth dates and increased birth mass, which has been observed previously in mule deer (Lomas and Bender 2007) and other ungulates (Singer et al. 1997, Keech et al. 2000, Cook et al. 2004).”
Distribution and density of moose in relation to landscape characteristics: effects of scale (2005, background): “1998), whereas others have attained relatively high densities (Keech et al. 2000).”
Effects of wolves on livestock calf survival and movements in Central Idaho (2003, background): “…for wolf predation (only 2 of 4 calves killed by wolves had mother’s age recorded for them), ample evidence exists that both birth date and mother’s age affect wild ungulate vulnerability to predation (Keech et al. 2000, Ozoga and Verme 22 1986, Kunkel and Mech, 1994, Smith and Anderson 1998).”
Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “…mass would be most influential during the first few weeks of life, because birth mass affects viability of neonates (Verme 1962, Sams et al. 1996, Keech et al. 2000, Carstensen et al. 2009), whereas effects of maternal condition on offspring development and survival should be stronger when…”
Effects of Predator Treatments, Individual Traits, and Environment on Moose Survival in Alaska (2011, methodology): “Keech et al. (2000) also reported a positive relationship between birth mass and survival in a moose population with high annual calf survival (53%).”
EFFECTS OF SUMMER‐AUTUMN NUTRITION AND PARTURITION DATE ON REPRODUCTION AND SURVIVAL OF ELK (2004, background): “Keech et al. (2000) argued for moose in Alaska that the latter is of greater relevance even in predator-rich environments.”
