Data from: Life-history theory provides a framework for detecting resource limitation: a test of the Nutritional Buffer Hypothesis ...
For ungulates and other long-lived species, life-history theory predicts that nutritional reserves are allocated to reproduction in a state-dependent manner because survival is highly conserved. Further, as per-capita food abundance and nutritional reserves decline (i.e., density-dependence intensif...
