Genomic variation across cervid species in respect to the estimation of red deer diversity

open access: yesActa Veterinaria, 2017
The aim of this study was to assess the genetic variations and relationships across evolutionary related cervid species in order to estimate the genetic diversity of the Red deer population that inhabits the forest area in the south-western part of ...

Comparison of endoparasite abundance and species richness of two Roosevelt elk herds in northern California

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2022
Roosevelt elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) have historically populated the Pacific Northwest from the Olympic Peninsula to the south of San Francisco Bay, and several management actions have supported restoring elk into parts of this historic range. In

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

Conjoined first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae in an eastern wapiti (Cervus canadensis canadensis) from the Angel Site (1000-1400 CE, Indiana, USA) [PDF]

open access: yes
Atlantoaxial abnormalities are rarely documented among wild animals. Many defects of segmentation in the spine are hereditary in domestic species and humans.

Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, sharing of wild harvests to facilitate food security followed concepts of kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, cultural shifts have reduced access to foods for some populations in modern times. Cultural altruism through sustainably harvested wild meat donation programmes (WDPs) can reduce food and nutritional ...

A priori hypotheses describing the response of elk (Cervus canadensis) antler size to selected explanatory variables.

open access: yes, 2013
Potential explanatory variables included site, age, and climate for year-of-birth and year-of-harvest on antler size of elk (Cervus Canadensis) in western North America during 1981–2010.

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Multiple innate antibacterial immune defense elements are correlated in diverse ungulate species.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
In this study, we aimed to evaluate to what extent different assays of innate immunity reveal similar patterns of variation across ungulate species. We compared several measures of innate antibacterial immune function across seven different ungulate ...
