| negative density-dependent emigration of males in an increasing red deer population. | in species with polygynous mating systems, females are regarded as food-limited, while males are limited by access to mates. when local density increases, forage availability declines, while mate access for males may increase due to an increasingly female-biased sex ratio. density dependence in emigration rates may consequently differ between sexes. here, we investigate emigration using mark-recovery data from 468 young red deer cervus elaphus marked in snillfjord, norway over a 20-year period w ... | 2009 | 19364736 |
