Dietary dissimilarity was significantly correlated with habitat dissimilarity for the two largest species in winter, but not the three smaller species (though the test was marginally non-significant for pronghorn and mule deer and it was underpowered for bighorn sheep; electronic supplementary material, figure S7), while this correlation was significant for pronghorn, bighorn sheep and elk in summer (electronic supplementary material, figure S8).
