Hierarchical, Memory-Based Movement Models for Translocated Elk (Cervus canadensis) [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The use of spatial memory is well-documented in many animal species and has been shown to be critical for the emergence of spatial learning. Adaptive behaviors based on learning can emerge thanks to an interdependence between the acquisition of ...

Immunological response of live-captured wild elk (Cervus canadensis) to Treponeme-Associated Hoof Disease antigens [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceA severe hoof disease is affecting wild elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Pacific Northwest. Causing lameness, tissue ulceration and necrosis, hoof overgrowth, and often loss of the hoof itself, bacteria from the genus Treponema are found at the forefront ...

Associations between hair trace mineral concentrations and the occurrence of treponeme-associated hoof disease in elk (Cervus canadensis) [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2022 Background Trace minerals are important for animal health. Mineral deficiency or excess can negatively affect immune function, wound healing, and hoof health in domestic livestock, but normal concentrations and health impairment associated with mineral ...

Seroprevalence of tuberculosis in domesticated elk (Cervus canadensis) in Korea
Research in Veterinary Science, 2016 Tuberculosis is a contagious disease in animals, primarily cattle, although it also affects wild animals and humans. There are few data on the state of tuberculosis in domesticated elk (Cervus canadensis) in Korea. In order to investigate tuberculosis in elk, the effectiveness of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using MPB70 and MPB83 ...

Intermediate frequency of aversive conditioning best restores wariness in habituated elk (Cervus canadensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In protected areas around the world, wildlife habituate to humans and human infrastructure, potentially resulting in human-wildlife conflict, and leading to trophic disruptions through excess herbivory and disconnection of predators from prey.

Bite‐DNA Shows Substantial Browsing on Willows (Salix spp.) by North American Bison in Yellowstone National Park [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRiparian willows (Salix spp.) in Yellowstone National Park have long been shaped by ungulate browsing, yet the specific contribution of individual herbivore species remains unclear. We applied a bite‐DNA metabarcoding approach, extracting saliva DNA from
