Hunting increases vigilance levels in roe deer and modifies feeding site selection (2008, unknown): “This trade-off between maximizing foraging benefits and minimizing hunting risk appears to be linked to the positive correlation between food abundance (foraging benefits) and increasing proximity to houses (risk; see Bowyer et al. 1998; Pierce et al. 2004).”
A Review of Environmental Factors Affecting Elk Winter Diets (2007, background): “Consequently, the optimal balance of grazing and browsing depends on an individual’s current stores of energy and protein and the trade-off in nutrient harvest and safety when grazing or browsing under predation risk (Pierce et al. 2004).”
Temperature-mediated habitat use and selection by a heat-sensitive northern ungulate (2012, background): “Habitat types that provide shelter may also contain high-quality forage for large herbivores (Pierce et al. 2004).”
SEXUAL SEGREGATION IN RUMINANTS: DEFINITIONS, HYPOTHESES, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT (2004, background): “…by themselves to explain sexual segregation; they address why sexes should remain apart but are not sufficient to account for sexes aggregating during part of the year, which often includes rut, but also periods other than the mating season (Bleich et al. 1997; Bowyer 1984; Pierce et al. 2004).”
Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “This population of mule deer has been subjected to a highly variable climate and receives predation pressure from a suite of large carnivores (Kucera 1988; Pierce et al. 2000, 2004).”
Habitat Selection of a Large Herbivore at High Density and Without Predation: Trade-off between Forage and Cover? (2009, background): “In contrast, individuals are not confronted with a trade-off when the best forage species also provide lateral cover (Pierce et al. 2004).”
Landscapes of Fear: Spatial Patterns of Risk Perception and Response. (2019, background): “Sometimes, the riskiest habitat is also the habitat with the lowest-quality forage [48], and prey may be able to avoid risk while tracking food [49].”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “3), along with less intraspecific competition, when compared with the limited forage and high-density of animals on winter range (Morgantini and Hudson 1989, Albon and Langvatn 1992, Kucera 1992, Pierce et al. 2004).”
Study Designs and Tests for Comparing Resource Use and Availability II (2006, background): “Thomas and Taylor Resource Selection Study Designs and Tests 327 (e.g., Chamberlain et al. 2000, Miller et al. 2000, Pierce et al. 2004).”
