“…First, in tropical latitudes, lack of change in day length results in the physiological capacity for breeding year-round, though reproduction is usually timed to coincide with resource availability (Heffelfinger 2011). Second, breeding dates of some geographically proximate populations of white-tailed deer in portions of the southern United States differ by as much as 6 weeks (Weber 1966, Lueth 1967, Wilson and Sealander 1971, Jacobson et al 1979, Richter and Labisky 1985, with no obvious latitudinal or distance-based pattern (Fig. 1).…”

“…Across large regions and distinct topographies, variation in the timing and duration of resource availability is known to shape the timing of large herbivores reproductive cycle. Therefore, as the growing season starts later at high latitudes, females of large herbivores delay their parturition to match the later onset of vegetation growth (Weber, 1966;Bunnell, 1982;Linnell, & Andersen, 1998a;Loe et al, 2005;Plard et al, 2013). Furthermore, at these latitudes, the growing season also becomes shorter, which limits the time available for offspring growth (Oftedal, 1985;Clutton-Brock et al, 1987;Rutberg, 1987) and female body condition recovery before the onset of the winter, the limiting season (Clutton-Brock, Guinness, & Albon, 1983).…”

“…As the growing season of plants is delayed with increasing latitude or altitude, females of large herbivores delay their parturition to match the peak in vegetation quality and biomass (Weber, 1966;Bunnell, 1982;Linnell & Andersen, 1998a;Loe et al, 2005). Furthermore, the growing season also becomes shorter, which limits the time available for offspring to grow during the period of abundant forage (Oftedal, 1985;Rutberg, 1987;).…”
