Opinion Bridging the disconnect between agencies and forest landowners to manage deer impact
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are managed at 2 levels: by federal, state, or local resource agencies on large, heterogeneous landscapes usually >200 ha; and by individual property owners on smaller (generallyha) and more discrete forestlands.

Herbivore Body Condition Response in Altered Environments: Mule Deer and Habitat Management
PLoS ONE, 2014 The relationships between habitat, body condition, life history characteristics, and fitness components of ungulates are interwoven and of interest to researchers as they strive to understand the impacts of a changing environment. With the increased availability of portable ultrasound machines and the refinement of hormonal assays, assessment of ...

Comparing radio-tracking and visual detection methods to quantify group size measures [PDF]
, 2015 1. Average values of animal group sizes are prone to be overestimated in traditional field studies because small groups and singletons are easier to overlook than large ones.

Habitat metrics based on multi‐temporal Landsat imagery for mapping large mammal habitat
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Up‐to‐date and fine‐scale habitat information is essential for managing and conserving wildlife. Studies assessing wildlife habitat commonly rely on categorical land‐cover maps as predictors in habitat models.

Framing the relationship between people and nature in the context of European conservation [PDF]
, 2015 A key controversy in conservation is the framing of the relationship between people and nature. The extent to which the realms of nature and human culture are viewed as separate (dualistic view) or integrated is often discussed in the social sciences. To

Ice, Snow, and Swamp: Managing Deer in Michigan’s Changing Climate
, 2015 Whitetailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula exist on the edge of their climate tolerance for cold temperatures and deep snow, especially in the lake effect snow zones of the north half of the peninsula. Each year, deer migrate

Developing and testing a habitat suitability index model for Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus) and its potential for landscape management decisions in Korea [PDF]
Animal Cells and Systems, 2016 ABSTRACTGeographic information system (GIS) and landscape-level data offer a new opportunity for modeling and evaluating the quality of wildlife habitats. Models of habitat quality have not been developed for some species, and existing models could be improved by incorporating updated information on wildlife–habitat relationships and habitat variables.
