Abstract
Long-term research on large ungulate populations typically conjures perceptions of extensive (and expensive) animal capture and telemetry work, and subsequent advanced modeling of resource selection and population dynamics that inform management decisions. In contrast, studies lacking a telemetry component are often limited to animal behavior or natural history. Although compelling from a standpoint of advancing understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes, results from the latter can be unfairly labeled as esoteric because they are not easily transferable to resource managers or may not provide exceptional interest to a general public drawn to these charismatic megafuana. Such dichotomies are not predetermined, however, because study conditions exist where dedicated academic researchers on tight budgets can achieve results relevant to ecology and management.
