“…Likewise, Bowyer et al (1996) observed that black-tailed deer spatially segregated but exhibited little divergence in use of habitats. Others also have noted a lack of difference in habitat selection or small differences in diet between sexes of ruminants when they were segregated (Conradt 1999;Cransac et al 1998;Fulbright et al 2001). We urge abandonment of a reductionist approach in favor of one that synthesizes factors related to sexual segregation.…”

“…However, grasses were found in higher proportions seasonally in other studies in Arizona (Hansen and Martin 1973, Dodd and Brady 1988, Morgart 1990, Holt et al 1992) and dominated seasonal diets of bighorn sheep in Nevada (Barrett 1964, Brown et al 1977 and California (Bleich et al 1997). In the Virgin Mountains, Arizona, and Baja California Sur, Mexico, forbs dominated the diets of bighorn sheep (Sanchez 1976, Smith and and in Texas forbs and browse were equally important in bighorn sheep diets (Fulbright et al 2001).…”

“…The diet of desert bighorn sheep has been studied in Arizona (Seegmiller and Ohmart 1981, Smith and Krausman 1987, Morgart 1990, Holt et al 1992, California (Welles and Welles 1961, Ginnett and Douglas 1982, Cunningham and Ohmart 1986, Bleich et al 1997, Nevada (Barrett 1964, Yoakum 1964, Brown et al 1977, New Mexico (Sandoval 1979, Watts 1979, Elenowitz 1983, Texas (Brewer 2001, Fulbright et al 2001, Utah (King and Workman 1982), USA, and Sonora and Baja California Sur, Mexico (Sanchez 1976, Tarango 2000. Previous diet studies have been largely descriptive and most are of a relatively short duration (i.e., 2 yr); with a few exceptions (Brown et al 1977, Bleich et al 1997, Etchberger and Krausman 1998 these studies documented temporal and spatial variation in diet of desert bighorn sheep across the desert Southwest.…”

“…We estimated DBS daily nutrient and preformed water intake, and metabolic water production for each season based on diet composition, forage quality, and DMI. We assumed that DBS diets did not differ between sexes [ 86 , 87 ], and thus, female diet compositions measured in this study were also used to calculate male intakes. Early and late summer were the only seasons where we predicted DBS (both sexes) would have a negative daily water balance ( Table 1 ).…”
