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.

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

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 ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We found that urban wild turkey had a higher probability of occupying a site if it was farther from roads and trails, closer to water, had more available habitat at finer spatial scales, or had lower mean tree height at larger spatial scales Abstract Once extirpated from most of its range because of overharvest and habitat loss in the early 1900s, the ...

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.
