The complete mitochondrial genome of Cervus canadensis (Erxleben, 1777), as a model species of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources, 2020 Cervus canadensis (Erxleben, 1777) has been used as a model species of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). We completed the mitochondrial genome of C. canadensis, susceptible to the CWD.

The first complete mitogenome of Cervus canadensis nannodes (Merriam, 1905) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Cervus canadensis nannodes (Merriam, 1905) is one of the subspecies of elk distributed only in California, USA. We completed the first mitogenome of C. canadensis nannodes. Its length is 16,428 bp, which is in middle among 24 available Cervus mitogenomes.

Uncovering the Fecal Bacterial Communities of Sympatric Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) and Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Microbial symbiotic associations may be beneficial, neutral, or harmful to the host. Symbionts exploit the host space and nutrition or use hosts as carriers to spread to other environments.

Evaluating the summer landscapes of predation risk and forage quality for elk (Cervus canadensis) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The recovery of carnivore populations in North American has consequences for trophic interactions and population dynamics of prey. In addition to direct effects on prey populations through killing, predators can influence prey behavior by imposing the ...

The influence of habitat use on harvest vulnerability of cow elk (Cervus canadensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Pressure from hunting can alter the behavior and habitat selection of game species. During hunting periods, cervids such as elk (Cervus canadensis) typically select for areas further from roads and closer to tree cover, while altering the timing of their

Beyond the encounter: Predicting multi‐predator risk to elk (Cervus canadensis) in summer using predator scats [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 There is growing evidence that prey perceive the risk of predation and alter their behavior in response, resulting in changes in spatial distribution and potential fitness consequences.

Mitochondrial PCGs Provide Novel Insights into Subspecies Classification, Codon Usage and Selection of Cervus canadensis Distributed in Qinghai and Gansu, China [PDF]
AnimalsAlthough Cervus elaphus (Linnaeus, 1758) has been well studied, the subspecific taxonomy of Cervus canadensis populations in Qinghai and Gansu, China, is still controversial, and the mitochondrial characteristics of Cervus elaphus (Linnaeus, 1758) remain
