Abstract: The results from studies of both naturally and artifically regulated ungulate populations in four Rocky Mountain parks are reviewed. Study findings on population regulation processes, the role of predators, natural mortality and natality, and ungulate habitat and food relationships suggest that previous assumptions that were the basis for artifically regulating ungulates overestimated the regulatory effects of predators and did not always distinguish natural from human-influenced conditions or changes.
