Highlights
In the CARMA (CircumArctic Rangifer Monitoring and Assessment) network we account for factors that a ect reproduction and growth of an individual caribou through an energy/ protein model, which simulates body weight and condition of an individual female caribou (Rangifer tarandus) over time (Russell et al, 2005; Gunn et al, 2013; White et al, 2013)
Modeling mobilization of maternal fat and protein to support fetal growth and lactation is complex because energy and protein transactions occur through intermediary substrates
In the energy/protein model, we do not overtly deal with intermediary substrates; rather, we model the amount of body fat and protein that can be measured in the eld

Modeling energy and protein reserves in support of gestation and lactation: glucose as a limiting metabolite in caribou and reindeer
