Foraging decisions of snowshoe hares in response to experimentally induced coat-colour mismatch

J. L. Kennah, M. Peers, J. Balluffi-Fry, I. Richmond, E. Vander Wal

This study examines how snowshoe hares adjust foraging behavior in response to coat-color mismatch and predation risk, finding increased nitrogen selection and body mass loss under high-risk conditions.

Integrating plant stoichiometry and feeding experiments: state-dependent forage choice and its implications on body mass

J. Balluffi-Fry, S. Leroux, Y. F. Wiersma, I. Richmond, T. Heckford, M. Rizzuto, J. Kennah, E. Vander Wal

This study tests foraging hypotheses in snowshoe hares by linking plant quality variation to feeding choices and body condition under different energetic and nutritional demands.

Does where you live influence what you are made of? Spatial correlates of chemical traits across commonly occurring boreal plants

T. R. Heckford, S. J. Leroux, E. Vander Wal, M. Rizzuto, J. Balluffi-Fry, I. C. Richmond, Y. F. Wiersma

The paper examines spatial influences on foliar chemical traits in boreal plants, finding species-specific and trait-level relationships with environmental factors.

Forage stoichiometry predicts the home range size of a small terrestrial herbivore

M. Rizzuto, S. Leroux, E. Vander Wal, I. C. Richmond, T. R. Heckford, J. Balluffi-Fry, Y. F. Wiersma

This study shows that forage stoichiometry affects snowshoe hare home range size, with lower quality forage leading to smaller ranges but also reduced spatial heterogeneity.

Patterns and potential drivers of intraspecific variability in the body elemental composition of a terrestrial consumer, the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)

M. Rizzuto, S. J. Leroux, E. Vander Wal, Y. F. Wiersma, T. R. Heckford, J. Balluffi-Fry

The paper examines intraspecific variability in the body elemental composition of snowshoe hares, finding unexpected patterns in nitrogen content with age and phosphorus with body size.
