Variation in habitat selection among individuals differs by maternal status for moose in a region with low calf survival by Amanda Droghini, Timm W. Nawrocki, Jeffrey B. Stetz, Paul A. Schuette, Andrew R. Aderman, Kassidy E. Colson

“…Given that habitat selection behaviors are one way in which animals respond to potential risk‐forage trade‐offs and that maternal individuals in our study differed along a continuum in their selection for primary forage species, we suggest that the concept of maternal trade‐offs, as it relates to habitat selection, is most useful when seen as individually determined and variable, rather than group‐determined and discrete.…”
