Parentage testing and looking for single nucleotide markers associated with antler quality in deer (Cervus elaphus) [PDF]
To provide a cost-efficient parentage testing kit for red deer (Cervus elaphus), a 63 SNP set has been developed from a high-density Illumina BovineHD BeadChip containing 777 962 SNPs after filtering of genotypes of 50 stags.

Behavioral Phenomena and Population Estimation of White-Tailed Deer Based on Camera Trap Data [PDF]
When shaping management actions and conservation programs, it is essential to understand the population dynamics of a species. One species that sees extensive management and research effort is the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), as it is both

The frequency of antlerless female caribou and reindeer in Alaska
The presence or absence of antlers in female caribou and reindeer may reflect genetic or nutritional effects. We classified antler status of female caribou of the Alaska Central Arctic Herd in 1994, 1995, and 2002, and female reindeer in two captive ...

Weathered antlers as a source of DNA
We tested antlers of Coues white‐tailed (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) and mule deer (O. hemionus) in various stages of natural decomposition to determine the degree of weathering that cast antlers could endure and still yield usable DNA.

Red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) - the first milestone in antler development
Selection of males is based on two main parameters, degree of physical development (body weight) and the stage of secondary sexual characteristic development - antlers.

Antler cannibalism in reindeer [PDF]
AbstractPrion diseases constitute a class of invariably fatal and degenerative encephalopathies. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease among cervids, which is spreading and causing marked population declines in USA and Canada. The first outbreak of CWD in Europe was discovered in a reindeer population in Norway in 2016.

Non-invasive genetic sampling of deer: a method for DNA extraction and genetic analysis from antlers
We describe a non-invasive technique to isolate genomic DNA from connective tissue present in the antlers of deer of the genus Hippocamelus. This method is simpler and more effective than conventional more-destructive procedures which damage the ...
