Scavenger dynamics at cervid carcasses in a chronic wasting disease endemic zone
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.This study quantifies scavenger species use of 20 deer carcasses in a chronic wasting disease endemic zone, including species‐specific time spent on carcasses and carcass materials consumed. We discuss the implications of our results for scavengers' roles in potential disease transmission dynamics.
