Puma predation on radiocollared and uncollared bighorn sheep [PDF]
BackgroundWe used Global Positioning System (GPS) data from radiocollared pumas (Puma concolor) to identify kill sites of pumas preying upon an endangered population of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in southern California. Our aims were to test whether

Year-round water management for desert bighorn sheep corresponds with visits by predators not bighorn sheep. [PDF]
Managing water (e.g., catchments) to increase the abundance and distribution of game is popular in arid regions, especially throughout the southwest United States, where biologists often manage water year-round for desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni).

HELMINTH PARASITES OF BIGHORN SHEEP IN OREGON [PDF]
The lungs and gastrointestinal tracts from 18 hunter-killed bighorn rams (Ovis canadensis californiana) were examined in total or in part for helminth parasites during a two-year study of three separate herds in Eastern Oregon. Prevalence was 100% with the lungworm Protostrongylus stilesi.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of Bighorn Sheep. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We report here the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis ) in the United States. The circular genome has a size of 16,466 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes.

CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS IN BIGHORN SHEEP [PDF]
In January 1993 we simulated a conductive hearing loss in three Mexican bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis mexicana) by placing bone wax or saline solution in their ear canals. Our objective was to test whether lesions of the external auditory canal caused by psoroptic mites (Psoroptes ovis) may lead to conductive hearing loss in bighorn sheep. We assessed

Pathogen Prevalence in Domestic Sheep in Western Nebraska: Implications for Bighorn Sheep Conservation and Coexistence on a Multi-Use Landscape [PDF]
Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) and domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are members of the same genus and thus share multiple pathogens that can be spread between them. One specific respiratory pathogen of concern is Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (M.

Variation in Space Use and Movements of Individual Mule Deer and Bighorn Sheep in Response to Shed Antler Hunting [PDF]
Shed antler hunting can affect the movements and space use of ungulates. We evaluated space use and movements of 12 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and 25 bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) during shed antler hunting for up to 4 years.

Hemorrhagic Disease in Bighorn Sheep in Arizona [PDF]
Two bighorn sheep from Arizona (USA) were submitted for necropsy. One was a Rocky Mountain bighorn (Ovis canadensis canadensis) and the other was a desert bighorn (Ovis canadensis mexicana). Both had lesions consistent with those of hemorrhagic disease (HD).
