Elk Reproductive Strategies
Rocky mountain elk play an important role both ecologically and economically in the intermountain west. Adult elk survival is generally stable, therefore changes in population dynamics are greatly influenced by the highly variable recruitment of young. This research seeks to understand reproductive strategies in elk, particularly reproductive bet-hedging in a marginal environment.
