Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes
Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data

Organic Representation as a Critical Media Approach to Leadership Studies in Popular Culture
ABSTRACT This article applies the critical media concept of organic representation to leadership studies as an analytic of how various creators in popular culture today are not just writing inclusive storytelling but, more notably, modeling new modes of production and self‐presentation that are actively challenging hegemonic industry practices and ...

Fact Sheet: Summer Habitat Use by Adult Female Mule Deer in a Restoration-Treated Ponderosa Pine Forest. [PDF]
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in the Southwest have experienced declines in the past 50 years due to habitat degradation from fire suppression, exotic species invasion, and increased livestock grazing.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Changes to mean early‐life phenotypes are fundamentally driven by joint dynamics of plasticity and selection, but such effects are rarely quantified. We show that cross‐cohort stasis in the degree of partial migration is underpinned by substantial within‐ and among‐cohort variation in plasticity and selection on migration, indicating high environmental

External Hoof Measurements of Untrimmed and Unshod Mules in Northern Thailand
External hoof characteristics, balance, and conformation have been extensively studied in horses; however, mules remain understudied in these aspects. This study evaluated the size, shape, and symmetry of untrimmed and unshod forelimb hooves, compared ...
