Alterations in gut microbiota linked to provenance, sex, and chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, contagious, neurodegenerative prion disease affecting both free-ranging and captive cervid species. CWD is spread via direct or indirect contact or oral ingestion of prions.

Mapping landowners' willingness to allow recreational deer harvest on their property for managing chronic wasting disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We demonstrate an approach for mapping the probability of landowners' willingness to allow wildlife management actions on their property using chronic wasting disease as a case study. Larger property sizes were associated with higher landowner willingness. We mapped predictions across the contiguous United States at the census tract level.

Revisiting Hunter Perceptions toward Chronic Wasting Disease: Changes in Behavior over Time

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Hunter behavior varies in relation to perceived risk of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and changes in perceptions of CWD will lead to changes in behavior over time.

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of deadwood in natural stands of Hyrcanian forests (Case study: Gorazbon district of Kheyrud, Nowshahr) [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2017
The conservation value of Coarse Woody Debris (CWD), as critical microhabitat component, in forest ecosystems led to increasingly expand interests in researches about it.

Research Progress of Coarse Woody Residues in Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesGuangdong nongye kexue, 2022
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is one of the important components of forest ecosystem, which provides habitat for many species. It is an important consideration for forest and woodland restoration.

Modeling localized deer removal strategies for managing chronic wasting disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model developed for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Midwestern white‐tailed deer to assess localized deer removal strategies and how local conditions affect management outcomes. Parcel‐based and ring culling were most effective at reducing CWD prevalence and persistence, and transmission was always greater at greater deer ...

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

Addressing chronic wasting disease in Korean farms: topsoil removal and 2N NaOH treatment before cervid restocking

open access: yesPrion
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious prion disease occurring in free-ranging and farmed cervids. In the Republic of Korea, cases of CWD continue to be detected almost annually, on both new and occasionally previously infected farms.

In Vitro detection of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) prions in semen and reproductive tissues of white tailed deer bucks (Odocoileus virginianus).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting several cervid species. Among them, white-tailed deer (WTD) are of relevance due to their value in farming and game hunting.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.
