Disparate home range dynamics reflect nutritional inadequacies on summer range for a large herbivore

Ecosphere
The spatial distribution of animals has consequences for nutrition, predator–prey dynamics, spread of diseases, and population dynamics in general. Animals must establish a home range to secure adequate resources to fuel their energy needs.
