Factors suspected to affect migration include food abundance, surface water availability, predators and phosphorus content in grasses.

In times of food abundance, it caches its food.

Feeding location tends to be a balance between food abundance and predator abundance.

Determine if food abundance or clay lick use is more closely tied to nest occupancy and nesting success.

As in all antelopes, mating occurs at a time of food abundance.

Areas exhibiting high food abundance will therefore attract more D. lumholtzi, and in turn result in a higher rate of reproduction.

Births have been linked to periods of food abundance and rainfall.
