Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “Key words: biophysical model; Blue Mountains, northeastern Oregon, USA; Cervus elaphus; climate change; elk; nutritional condition; resource selection function; Snake River Plain, southeastern Idaho, USA; thermal environment; thermoregulation.”
Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape (2011, background): “…period), ungulates may therefore increase their use of forest stands providing cover and thermal shelters during daytime (Demarchi & Bunnell 1995, Dussault et al. 2004) and use more open forage-rich habitat types during darknesswhen they are less visible to predators and humans (Godvik et al.…”
Space use of moose in relation to food availability (2005, background): “1982), thermoregulation (Dussault et al. 2004b), and predator avoidance (Stephens and Peterson 1984; Courtois and Crête 1988).”
Temperature-mediated habitat use and selection by a heat-sensitive northern ungulate (2012, background): “This is also expected for moose in North America (Murray et al. 2006; Lenarz et al. 2009).”
