Distribution, structure, and mineralization of calcified cartilage remnants in hard antlers
Bone Reports, 2022 Antlers are paired deciduous bony cranial appendages of deer that undergo a regular cycle of growth, death and casting, and constitute the most rapidly growing bones in mammals. Antler growth occurs in an appositional mode and involves a modified form of

, 1999 Free-range reindeer in western Alaska are managed for both velvet antler and meat production. Optimal management should maximize the income generated from both meat and antler production while managing the herd at levels below the carrying capacity

Antler velvet is thicker in adult than in yearling pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus): a histological study [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Antlers are lined by soft velvet tissue during antler growth. Later, the velvet is shed before rut onset. There are no detailed histological descriptions of the growing velvet, nor whether the velvet changes according to stag age.

Addled by antlers: Synchronous disruption to female caribou antler phenology
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Caribou are the only deer species in which females also grow antlers; however, female antler phenology differs from males. While males grow antlers over summer and hold them through autumn rut, female caribou grow antlers in summer and carry the polished antlers through winter until parturition.

Factors affecting velvet antler weights in free-ranging reindeer in Alaska
Rangifer, 1999 Free-ranging reindeer on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska are rounded up from late May to early July and antlers are removed. We used data collected from 1987 to 1997 to determine how velvet antler weights of males and females varied with age, year,

Red deer bone and antler collagen are not isotopically equivalent in carbon and nitrogen. [PDF]
, 2016 RATIONALE: Bone and antler collagen δ(13) C and δ(15) N values are often assumed to be equivalent when measured in palaeodietary, palaeoclimate and palaeocological studies.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Urban expansion and anthropogenic development result in wildlife‐habitat loss and fragmentation, increased human–wildlife conflicts, and biodiversity loss across the globe. However, some animal species are well adapted to anthropogenic land use and find novel foraging opportunities or refuge from predation in urban and suburban areas.
