• Green‐wave surfing increases fat gain in a migratory ungulate (2018, methodology): “Percent ingesta-free body fat was estimated using an arithmetic combination of body condition score and rump-fat thickness allometri-cally scaled using nonpregnant body mass (Cook et al. 2010).”
• Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “Similarly, Monteith et al. (2011) demonstrated that in a migratory population of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), older individuals and those in good nutritional condition were more likely to delay autumn migration and risk encountering severe weather and reduced foraging opportunities than were…”
• Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, methodology): “We then combined body mass, body-condition score, and maximum thickness of rump fat to estimate percent IFBFat according to relationships (r2¼ 0.81, P< 0.001) and equations provided by Cook et al. (2010).”
