- Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe (2009, background): “Pettorelli et al. (2006) successfully correlated remote sensing derived productivity indices with roe deer body mass, but underlined the need for caution.”
- ANIMAL HABITAT QUALITY AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: EXPLORING SEASONAL PATTERNS USING NDVI (2008, methodology): “NDVI also has been used as direct measure of plant phenology to investigate the impact of seasonality and predictability in plant phenology for breeding synchrony of red deer (Loe et al. 2005) and to detect key periods of plant productivity determining animal performance (Pettorelli et al. 2006).”
- The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): unforeseen successes in animal ecology (2011, background): “…also shown to correlate with elephant diet in Kenya (Wittemyer et al. 2009), while in Norway and France, NDVI in spring was shown to be a strong predictor of body mass in reindeer Rangifer tarandus and roe deer Capreolus capreolus (Pettorelli et al. 2005c, Pettorelli et al. 2006; see also Table 2).”
- Spring Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) predicts annual variation in timing of peak faecal crude protein in mountain ungulates (2009, background): “…studies also related NDVI estimates with breeding phenology (Wittemyer, Rasmussen & Douglas-Hamilton 2007), phenotypic traits (Garel et al. 2006; Herfindal et al. 2006; Pettorelli et al. 2006), habitat use and herbivore distribution (Gustine et al. 2006; Marshal et al. 2006; Wiegand et al. 2008).”
- Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a predictor of forage availability for ungulates in forest and field habitats (2013, background): “Pettorelli et al. (2006), for example, reported that a lack of correlation between NDVI and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fawn body mass (in spring) in a highly productive French forest can be explained by a potentially weak relationship between NDVI and ground vegetation biomass.”
