Migration of northern Yellowstone elk: implications of spatial structuring (2010, background): “…(Connochaetes taurinus) in response to rainfall (Maddock 1979) is a classic example, but many other large herbivores also follow forage productivity gradients and migrate in response to climate variation (D’Eon and Serrouya 2005; Igota et al. 2004; Leimgruber et al. 2001; Mysterud et al. 2001).”

Large‐scale habitat variability, delayed density effects and red deer populations in Norway (2002, unknown): “As these thresholds were different in males and females (Mysterud et al. 2001a, 2001c), separate GLM-models were used for each sex.”
Using a proxy of plant productivity (NDVI) to find key periods for animal performance: the case of roe deer (2006, unknown): “…respond to global climatic variations related to the winter index of the North Atlantic Oscillations (NAO, Hurrell 1995) (red deer Cervus elaphus : Mysterud et al. 2001a; reindeer Rangifer tarandus : Solberg et al. 2001; moose Alces alces and white tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus : Post and…”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “…ranges for a longer duration in autumn to gain access to forage under circumstances of reduced intraspecific competition (Albon and Langvatn 1992), increased plant diversity (Mysterud et al. 2001), and at a more nutritious phenological stage (Klein 1965, Pettorelli et al. 2007, Hamel et al. 2009).”
Scales of movement by elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to heterogeneity in forage resources and predation risk (2005, unknown): “We suspect that changes in relocating moves with respect to elevation gains reflected foraging responses by elk to differences in plant phenology across an elevation gradient (Albon and Langvatn 1982; Mysterud 1999; Mysterud et al. 2001).”
Black bear adaptation to low productivity in the boreal forest (2008, background): “Bliss (1962), cited by Mysterud et al. (2001), noted a low presence of fibrous tissues in plants growing at high altitude.”
Surfing on a green wave - how plant growth drives spring migration in the Barnacle Goose Branta leucopsis (2006, background): “…to gain access to newly emergent, high-quality forage represented by spring growth, e.g. Red Deer, Cervus elaphus, (Albon and Langvatn 1992; Mysterud et al. 2001), Roe Deer, Capreolus capreolus, (Mysterud 1999), Sika Deer, Cervus nippon, (Sakuragi et al. 2003) and Reindeer, Rangifer…”
Effects of group size and personality on social foraging: the distribution of sheep across patches (2009, background): “1988), by the travel costs between sites (Bernstein et al. 1991; Mysterud et al. 2001), and by the dynamics of the resources (Jones et al.”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Many of the body-size patterns and relationships for white-tailed deer, caribou, and moose hold for other cervids at similarly large scales (Langvatn and Albon 1986, Mysterud et al. 2001a, b, c, 2002).”
Climate‐dependent allocation of resources to secondary sexual traits in red deer (2005, methodology): “We standardized (mean 0, variance 1) the relevant predictor variables to facilitate the interpretation of the interaction and polynomial terms (Mysterud et al. 2000, 2001c).”
Climate predictability and breeding phenology in red deer: timing and synchrony of rutting and calving in Norway and France (2005, background): “The landscape in Norway has a very variable topography (Mysterud et al. 2001) with a strong effect on snow accumulation (Mysterud et al.”
