Competition for safe real estate, not food, drives density‐dependent juvenile survival in a large herbivore

Abstract Density‐dependent competition for food reduces vital rates, with juvenile survival often the first to decline. A clear prediction of food‐based, density‐dependent competition for large herbivores is decreasing juvenile survival with increasing density. However, competition for enemy‐free sp...
