Prevalence and Mechanisms of Partial Migration in Ungulates
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Partial migration, a phenomenon wherein only some individuals within a population migrate, is taxonomically widespread. While well-studied in birds and fish, partial migration in large herbivores has come into the spotlight only recently due to the ...

The Role of Grass vs. Exogenous Abrasives in the Paleodietary Patterns of North American Ungulates
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Equids have often been discussed regarding tooth morphological change due to the evolution of highly hypsodont teeth over time, the hyper-grazing habits of modern horses, and an older view that the acquisition of hypsodonty and the widespread appearance ...

Genomics of Adaptations in Ungulates
Animals, 2021 Ungulates are a group of hoofed animals that have long interacted with humans as essential sources of food, labor, clothing, and transportation. These consist of domesticated, feral, and wild species raised in a wide range of habitats and biomes.

Plants on the Move: Hitch-Hiking With Ungulates Distributes Diaspores Across Landscapes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 This overview highlights the multiple pathways by which ungulates distribute diaspores across landscapes and over long distances. There are three primary and three secondary seed dispersal pathways where ungulate dispersal agents contribute to diaspore ...

Mortality rates of the Alpine Chamois : the influence of snow-meteorological factors [PDF]
, 2008 Especially for animals inhabiting alpine areas, winter environmental conditions can be limiting. Cold temperatures, hampered food availability and natural perils are just three of many potential threats that mountain ungulates face in winter ...
