Effects of emergency winter supplemental feeding on survival of mule deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Ungulates in temperate regions can experience high mortality during severe winters, which poses significant ecological and economic challenges for wildlife managers. To mitigate these effects, emergency winter‐feeding programs are often implemented, although their effectiveness remains uncertain.

Contrasting origin of B chromosomes in two cervids (Siberian roe deer and grey brocket deer) unravelled by chromosome-specific DNA sequencing

BMC Genomics, 2016
B chromosomes are dispensable and variable karyotypic elements found in some species of animals, plants and fungi. They often originate from duplications and translocations of host genomic regions or result from hybridization.

Multi‐scale maternal behavioral responses by white‐tailed deer to coyote predation risk

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
In the piedmont region of the southeastern US, white‐tailed deer adjust maternal care strategies in response to variation in risk of encountering coyotes. In areas frequented by coyotes, adult female deer (i.e., does) increase their use of space, likely to avoid drawing coyotes to the location where a fawn is hidden.

Community-level impacts of white-tailed deer on understorey plants in North American forests: a meta-analysis

AoB Plants, 2015
In many regions of the world, exotic or overabundant large herbivores are a concern for the conservation of forest plant communities. Previous work suggests that the impacts of white-tailed deer overabundance in North American forests are broadly ...

Evaluating potential altered harvest and predator management strategies to increase white‐tailed deer population growth in the Southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
In some portions of the southeastern United States where white‐tailed deer populations are declining, alteration of adult female harvest levels and the availability of alternative foods for coyotes can help increase population growth. Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the southeastern United States have declined from ...

Age and spatial behavior determine survival of male elk during the hunting season

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We sought to investigate factors that influenced survival of male elk in Montana, USA, during the hunting season using 4 years of movement, age, and survival data. Our findings demonstrate that use of security attributes are the result of behavioral and demographic mechanisms with some age‐based nuances.

Embryo reintroduction to enhance genetic diversity in a Marsh deer population: first attempt, outcomes, challenges, and future perspectives

Frontiers in Conservation Science
IntroductionThe loss of genetic diversity is a critical factor in the extinction process, exacerbated by anthropogenic pressures and demographic stochasticity, particularly in small populations.

Evaluating cost‐efficiency and accuracy of hunter harvest survey designs

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Effective management of harvested wildlife often requires accurate estimates of the number of animals harvested annually by hunters. A variety of techniques exist to obtain harvest data, such as hunter surveys, check stations, mandatory reporting ...

Novel Biomolecule‐Infused Gelatin Injectable for Treatment of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Biomolecule‐infused gelatin shows promising nerve regeneration, attenuation of muscle atrophy, and functional electromyography outcomes after recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. This biomolecule cocktail may serve as a possible long‐term treatment for vocal fold paralysis and warrants further research in additional animal models.
