Seasonal patterns of mortality for boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in an intact environment
DownloadSpring 2020
Seasonality is an important component in shaping the dynamics that influence ecosystems, including mortality. Animals experience temporal variation in vulnerability to mortality due to interactions among environmental conditions, nutritional condition, age and life stages, and changes in their...
