Habitat selection by mule deer during migration: effects of landscape structure and natural-gas development (2012, background): “Understanding factors affecting movements between seasonal ranges can be critical for biologists to sustain viable populations of these large migratory ungulates (Berger 2004, Sawyer et al. 2005).”
Green‐wave surfing increases fat gain in a migratory ungulate (2018, background): “These accumulating insights may help explain why human activity along migration corridors has been a prominent factor in the decline of migratory populations (Berger 2004, Harris et al. 2009).”
Global decline in aggregated migrations of large terrestrial mammals (2009, background): “Overall, our knowledge of migrations is low (Berger 2004), and human impact high (Vitousek et al. 1986, Pimm et al. 2001); this jeopardizes the conservation of many migratory species (Berger 2004).”
Ecological mechanisms linking protected areas to surrounding lands. (2007, methodology): “Berger (2004) documented that the 225-km movement corridor for pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) between summer and winter range in Greater Yellowstone passes through a 1 km wide bottleneck that is now threatened with natural gas development.”
Lion hunting behaviour and vegetation structure in an African savanna (2013, unknown): “…et al. 2010), understanding how to maintain landscape-scale ecological processes that support diverse mammal communities within reserve boundaries is a critical conservation priority (Woodroffe & Ginsberg 1998; Bengtsson et al. 2003; Berger 2004; van Aarde & Jackson 2007; Loarie et al. 2009a, b).”
Cues and decision rules in animal migration (2011, background): “Some species have specifi c migration routes that are travelled year after year, such as pronghorn antelope in the mountains of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana (Berger 2004 , 2006 ) , mule deer in Wyoming (Sawyer et al .”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “Migration is a well-recognized life-history strategy involving numerous taxa over the globe (Baker 1978, Swingland and Greenwood 1983, Fryxell et al. 1988, Alerstam et al. 2003); effective conservation actions are necessary to maintain intact patterns of migration (Berger 2004, Bolger et al. 2008).”
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) spatial use in the Italian Alps: home range patterns, seasonal migrations, and effects of snow and winter feeding (2006, background): “It was confirmed that migration is an important aspect of the behavioural ecology of several ungulate species, as pointed out by berger (2004), especially when marked seasonality of trophic resource availability and of weather conditions are present, as recorded in other several ungulate researches…”
Protected species use of a coastal marine migratory corridor connecting marine protected areas (2014, background): “This phenomenon is attributed to the presence of fixed geophysical references along the coast that enable the animals to maintain a fixed course heading (Berger 2004; alerstam et al. 2006).”
Conservation Planning for Amphibian Species with Complex Habitat Requirements: A Case Study Using Movements and Habitat Selection of the Wood Frog Rana Sylvatica (2006, background): “The annual round trip migration for a vertebrate is generally estimated as twice the average seasonal migration (Berger, 2004).”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Relatively few terrestrial mammals are migratory; most are large herbivores that follow seasonal vegetation growth (Berger 2004).”
Analyzing animal movements using Brownian bridges. (2007, background): “…data collected at relatively short time intervals, the BBMM enables researchers to effectively identify important characteristics of migration routes, such as stopover sites (Mehlman et al. 2005), movement corridors (Berger 2004), and migratory landscape and habitat features (Skagen et al. 2005).”
Effects of scale on interpreting life‐history characteristics of ungulates and carnivores (2006, background): “, 1999), and their ability to move over large distances (Berger, 2004), introduces scale sensitivity into many ecosystem processes affected by large herbivores.”
Functional connectivity within conservation networks: Delineating corridors for African elephants (2013, background): “Historical long-distance movements was believed to limit local overgrazing (Coughenour 2008), but today long-distance migration among terrestrial vertebrates is one of the world’s most endangered biological phenomenon (Bartlam-Brooks et al. 2011; Berger 2004).”
