Nutritional-Landscape Models Link Habitat Use to Condition of Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus)

In heterogeneous landscapes, large herbivores employ plastic behavioral strategies to buffer themselves against negative effects of environmental variation on fitness. Yet, the mechanisms by which individual responses to such variation scale up to influence population performance remain uncertain. A...
