The interplay of habitat quality and temperature shape demographic patterns of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in North America [PDF]

Communications Biology
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are declining in abundance across their broad distribution in western North America. Identifying drivers of mule deer demography could inform habitat restoration.
