2 Density-Dependence Population Size Adult Survival Juvenile Survival c Adapted from Gaillard et al. 1997
3 Density-Dependence and Life History K Density adult survival pregnancy recruitment nutritional condition, habitat condition Eberhardt 2002, Keech et al. 2000, Boertje et al Time
4 Density-Dependence and Density-Independence Recruitment Drought K Density adult survival pregnancy recruitment nutritional condition, habitat condition Recruitment Time Drought Adapted from Bowyer et al. 2000
5 Hypotheses and Predictions Density-Dependence Hypothesis: Populations with increasing calf recruitment are in good nutritional condition (i.e., below carrying capacity). Recruitment Trend Nutritional Condition Boertje et al. 2007
6 Hypotheses and Predictions Nutritional Buffer Hypothesis: For populations closer to nutritional carrying capacity, recruitment is sensitive to climatic variation. Population Size Time Nutritional Carrying Capacity McCullough 1999, Monteith et al. 2015
