ABSTRACT: Body mass generally accounts for a large part of variation in life history traits of ungulates. However, phylogeny and ecological features such as habitat or diet have been shown to cause differences in life history patterns among species of similar size. To assess the factors that shape life history traits of moose (Alces alces), the largest deer (Cervidae) species, I fitted allometric relationships among ungulate species for a set of life history traits. I compared moose life history traits first with both traits expected from allometric equations and traits of similar-sized bovids. Both kinds of analyses led to the same results. While moose calves grow as expected ...
