Causes of Pneumonia Epizootics among Bighorn Sheep, Western United States, 2008–2010
Epizootic pneumonia of bighorn sheep is a devastating disease of uncertain etiology. To help clarify the etiology, we used culture and culture-independent methods to compare the prevalence of the bacterial respiratory pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica ...

Structural interpretations based on ERTS-1 imagery, Bighorn Region, Wyoming-Montana [PDF]
Structural analysis is being carried out on bands MSS 5 and 7 of scene 1085-17294. Geologic strucutre is primarily revealed in the topographic relief and drainage. Topographic linears are particularly well developed in the bighorn uplift.

Acute drought desiccates highly used habitat and drives herbivores into irrigated croplands
Abstract In arid and semiarid regions, extreme, extended droughts are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Drought is driving wildlife to seek out food or water resources where they are not as limited, such as in irrigated croplands. We collected GPS locations from 41 mule deer, a generalist herbivore reliant on primary productivity, within ...

Exotic deer in southern Latin America: what do we know about impacts on native deer and on ecosystems? [PDF]
A recent review on exotic cervids concluded that deer introduced to Patagonia impacted habitat and native huemul deer Hippocamelus bisulcus. I evaluate these assertions and amend information about this South American case study.

Long-term studies of bighorn sheep and mountain goats reveal fitness costs of reproduction.
Fitness costs of reproduction are expected when resources are limited. Costs drive the evolution of life-history strategies and can affect population dynamics if females change their allocation of resources to reproduction.
