Factors influencing survival of desert mule deer in the greater San Andres Mountains, New Mexico

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Mule deer numbers have declined precipitously in the San Andres Mountains of southcentral New Mexico. To assess reasons for population declines, we monitored condition, survival, and causes of mortality for a range of 37 to 64 radio-collared, >1.5-year ...

Biological and environmental drivers of early life fawn survival in a declining pronghorn population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Pronghorn Antilocapra americana occupy only a portion of their historical range and in Oklahoma occur at the eastern edge of the species' contemporary distribution. Monitoring has suggested pronghorn populations in Oklahoma have declined in recent years.

Chronic Wasting Disease management responses in North America: A public policy analysis

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study we use the Multiple Streams Framework from public policy theory to assess the responses of wildlife management agencies in states and provinces with CWD‐positive cases in the United States and Canada to alleviate public concerns and manage the spread of this disease.

Geographic variation in trace mineral concentrations in blood of mule deer from the Mojave Desert, California, USA

California Fish and Wildlife Journal
Minerals are important nutrients and are essential components of the diets of animals. Nutritional requirements or minimum concentrations of minerals for nutritional health are largely unknown for the majority of large, free-ranging herbivores.

Association mapping of genetic risk factors for chronic wasting disease in wild deer

Evolutionary Applications, 2013
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting North American cervids. We assessed the feasibility of association mapping CWD genetic risk factors in wild white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule ...

Foraging under Predation Risk: A test of giving-up densities with samango monkeys in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Animals frequently make a trade-off between food and safety and will sacrifice feeding effort if it means safety from predators. A forager can also vary its vigilance levels to manage predation risk.

Organic Representation as a Critical Media Approach to Leadership Studies in Popular Culture

New Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 75-80, Spring 2025.
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 ...

Differential effects of cattle, mule deer, and elk herbivory on aspen forest regeneration and recruitment

Forest Ecology and Management, 2018
The abundance and composition of ungulate herbivore communities are changing globally, which can impact the resilience and function of Earth’s ecosystems. Impacts from herbivory are compounded in areas where multiple ungulates overlap, which is common in

Juvenile predation overwhelms nutritional effects on female ungulate fat reserves in a high‐predation system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ungulate body fat reserves reflect the nutritional environment, often serving as a useful indicator of bottom‐up resource availability. However, body fat reserves also integrate energetic costs associated with avoiding predation risk and reproductive effort, and it is ...

Forest disturbance shapes habitat selection but not migratory tendency for partially migratory ungulates

Ecosphere
In forest management settings, disturbance resets forests to earlier successional stages, typically improving forage conditions for mule deer. Examining how forest disturbance influences mule deer behavior is important for guiding forest and wildlife ...
