• Empirical Evidence of Density- Dependence in Populations of Large Herbivores (2009, background): “In moose (Solberg et al., 2002) and reindeer (Holand et al., 2003), male age‐structure affects female pregnancy rates and fetal sex ratio— two parameters that can directly influence population growth rate.”
• Status of moose populations and challenges to moose management in Fennoscandia. (2003, background): “The decrease has been associated with increasing population density and decreasing body masses of calves and yearlings and is generally assumed to be caused by density-dependent food limitation (Solberg et al. 1997, 2002).”
• REVIEW: The management of wild large herbivores to meet economic, conservation and environmental objectives (2004, background): “elephant Loxodonta africana , Milner-Gulland & Mace 1991; moose Alces alces , Solberg et al . 2002; but see Laurian et al . 2000; saiga Saiga tartarica , Milner-Gulland et al . 2003).”
• Ageing and reproductive effort in male moose under variable levels of intrasexual competition (2005, background): “Also, for Norwegian moose there was a lower proportion of primiparous moose breeding when sex ratio became extremely femalebiased (Solberg et al. 2002).”
• The role of males in the dynamics of ungulate populations (2002, background): “However, detailed studies document a lower proportion of younger females breeding when sex ratios are heavily skewed (Ginsberg & Milner-Gulland 1994; Solberg et al. 2002).”
• Effects of hunting with hounds on a non-target species living on the edge of a protected area (2011, background): “…suffers from a female-biased sex ratio (Bunnefeld et al., 2009; Fischer and Linsenmair, 2002), and this may negatively affect wildlife population dynamics (Ginsberg and Milner-Gulland, 1994; Solberg et al., 2002) and/or the individual life history with an unnatural selection (Coltman et al., 2003).”
