The objectives for this request are to:
1) Relate demographic parameters (parturition rates, kid survival, yearling survival) and body condition indices (growth and/or body mass of adult females and juveniles) to annual measurements of climate, snow pack, productivity, and phenology of vegetation on important summer habitats for goats; 2) Relate assimilated nutrition of goats to vegetation productivity and phenology; 3) Relate vegetation and snow conditions to yearly climatic conditions; and 4) Document habitat use by goats on a fine scale during summer, and a coarse scale during winter, to understand patterns and sources of mortality and
