Deer–Vehicle Collision Trends at a Suburban Immunocontraception Site
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Observations of extended estrus seasons in female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) vaccinated with porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraceptives have led to speculation that management use of PZP would, perversely, increase the rate of deer–

Ethical management of wildlife. Lethal versus nonlethal control of white‐tailed deer
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 2, Issue 4, April 2020., 2020 Abstract Calls for ethical management of wildlife in the international conservation community are increasing. However, it is not clear what this actually entails. Using a case of lethal (hunting) and nonlethal control (fertility control) of “chronically abundant” large herbivores such as white‐tailed deer in rural and suburban areas of the United ...

Immunocontraceptives: New Approaches to Fertility Control [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 The rapidly increasing global population has bowed the attention of family planning and associated reproductive health programmes in the direction of providing a safe and reliable method which can be used to limit family size. The world population is estimated to exceed a phenomenal 10 billion by the year 2050 A.D., thus presenting a real jeopardy of ...
