Abstract

The energetic needs of females increase markedly around the birth of offspring. Large herbivore females thus track food resources, the availability of which varies in time and space. A multispecies dataset of GPS locations revealed that female movement to reach food is hampered by the adaptive antipredator behaviour of their offspring.

期刊介绍： Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.
