Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “NDVI is sensitive to environmental change (Pettorelli et al. 2005), is associated with fluctuations in dietary quality (Christianson and Creel 2009, Hamel et al. 2009), and thus, is related to numerous aspects of the ecology of large herbivores (Loe et al. 2005, Pettorelli et al. 2007).”
Climate‐dependent allocation of resources to secondary sexual traits in red deer (2005, background): “While red deer on Rum live in open habitat with females forming large parties, party sizes in the forested areas in Norway (and France, Bonenfant et al. 2003) are much smaller averaging around 1.5 (Loe et al. 2005).”
Multispecies assessment of core areas and connectivity of desert carnivores in central Iran (2018, methodology): “Due to the scarcity of data on the local distribution of wild prey for small cats (caracal, wild cat and sand cat), NDVI was used as a proxy for increased density of small mammal prey species (Abade, Macdonald, & Dickman, 2014; Loe et al., 2005).”
Adaptive microevolutionary responses to simulated global warming in Simocephalus vetulus: a mesocosm study (2007, background): “…have provided indications for induced microevolution of life history traits associated with global warming, they are mainly of a longitudinal, correlational nature and did not manipulate temperature in a replicated design (e.g. Loe et al., 2005; Bradshaw & Holzapfel, 2006; Jonzen et al., 2006).”
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).”
Using the satellite-derived NDVI to assess ecological responses to environmental change. (2005, background): “Body mass and calf survival of reindeer Rangifer tarandus was shown to be positively correlated with the NVDI in spring [24,48], whereas the timing of the spring vegetation flush, identified from NDVI time-series, and the rutting and calving of red deer Cervus elaphus were all found to be later in N”
Using a proxy of plant productivity (NDVI) to find key periods for animal performance: the case of roe deer (2006, unknown): “Several aspects of breeding phenology of ungulates have been shown to be linked to latitude (Loe et al. 2005).”
