Environmental and Physiological Influences to Isotopic Ratios of N and Protein Status in a Montane Ungulate in Winter
Winter severity can influence large herbivore populations through a reduction in maternal proteins available for reproduction. Nitrogen (N) isotopes in blood fractions can be used to track the use of body proteins in northern and montane ungulates. We studied 113 adult female caribou for 13 years th...
