Sarcoptic mange breaks up bottom-up regulation of body condition in a large herbivore population

Abstract Background Both parasitic load and resource availability can impact individual fitness, yet little is known about the interplay between these parameters in shaping body condition, a key determinant of fitness in wild mammals inhabiting seasonal environments. Methods Using partial least squa...
