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

Stand-Level Green Biomass Equations for Sawtimber-Sized Loblolly Pine in Arkansas [PDF]
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is commercially the most important timber species in southern Arkansas and the southern United States. Results of stand-level timber inventories have traditionally been reported in terms of volume, yet loblolly pine ...

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 ...

Survival of Longleaf and Loblolly Pines Planted at Two Spacings in an East Texas Bahiagrass Silvopasture [PDF]
The practice of combining intensive timber and forage production on the same site, a silvopasture system, offers landowners the potential for diversification of income.

Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

A New Site Index Model for Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) Plantations in the West Gulf Coastal Plain [PDF]
Site index (SI) estimation for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations is important for the successful management of this important commercial tree species in the West Gulf Coastal Plain of the United States. This study evaluated various SI models for

Abstract Annual forages are commonly planted in open pasture in the Mid‐South, but there is little information on the productivity of these forages when incorporated into silvopasture. The objective was to evaluate four annual forages adapted to the Mid‐South, namely, arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.

White‐tailed Deer Signpost Photoluminescence
White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus verginianus) signposts exhibit photoluminescence under crepuscular conditions. The photoluminescence is visible to deer based on previously described deer visual physiology. Here we provide a quantitative description of signpost photoluminescence and discuss our findings relative to previously published criteria for the ...

A mixed-effects height-diameter model for individual loblolly and slash pine trees in east Texas [PDF]
A new mixed-effects model was developed that predicts individual-tree total height for loblolly (Pinus taeda) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) as a function of individual-tree diameter (in.), dominant height (ft), quadratic mean diameter (in.), and ...
