Implications of cougar prey selection and demography on population dynamics of elk in northeast Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A.
Abstract:: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni; hereafter elk) populations in northeast Oregon have declined in the past 10 to 20 years.
