Changes in movement, habitat use, and response to human disturbance accompany parturition events in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). [PDF]
Mov Ecol, 2023 Parturition and the early neonatal period are critical life history stages in ungulates with considerable implications for population growth and persistence.

Impact of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae on juvenile bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) survival in the northern Basin and Range ecosystem. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Determining the demographic impacts of wildlife disease is complex because extrinsic and intrinsic drivers of survival, reproduction, body condition, and other factors that may interact with disease vary widely.

Restoration of bighorn sheep: History, successes, and remaining conservation issues
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mammals are imperiled worldwide, primarily from habitat loss or modification, and exhibit downward trends in their populations and distributions. Likewise, large-bodied herbivores have undergone a collapse in numbers and are at the highest extinction ...

Regional variability in pregnancy and survival rates of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
Ecosphere, 2021 In the Rocky Mountains, bighorn sheep restoration has been only marginally effective; this iconic wilderness species currently exists at a fraction of their historic abundance and often in fragmented and small populations.
