Experimental SARS-CoV-2 Infection of Elk and Mule Deer [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
To assess the susceptibility of elk (Cervus canadensis) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) to SARS-CoV-2, we performed experimental infections in both species. Elk did not shed infectious virus but mounted low-level serologic responses.

Distance, weather, and forage conditions drive timing of autumn migration in female mule deer [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Seasonal migration is a behavioral strategy that animals evolved to exploit seasonally changing resources. Ungulates in northern temperate landscapes often seasonally migrate between low-elevation winter ranges and higher-elevation summer ...

Evaluating movement-based methods for estimating the frequency and timing of parturition in mule deer [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Information on reproduction of harvested species such as mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is vital for conservation and management. Furthermore, parturition in ungulates may be detected using patterns of movement logged by GPS transmitters ...

Infectious Disease and Grouping Patterns in Mule Deer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Infectious disease dynamics are determined, to a great extent, by the social structure of the host. We evaluated sociality, or the tendency to form groups, in Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) from a chronic wasting disease (CWD ...

Comparative health assessment of urban and non-urban free-ranging mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in southeastern British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background The provincial wildlife management agency, British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, performed a translocation to control the urban mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus; uMD) overpopulation and ...

Unintended consequences of species translocations: changes in distribution and habitat selection of mule deer following introduction of elk

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2022
Translocation of animals for conservation has a long history of successes and failures since humans began intervening with species distributions in the early part of the 20th century.

Mule Deer Responses to Deer Guards [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1974
Highlight: In this investigation the effectiveness of guards 12, 18, and 24 feet long in preventing mule deer from crossing vehicle openings in fences 8 feet high was evaluated. The guards were constructed of flat mill steel rails % x 4 x 120 inches, and were tested under both controlled and field conditions.

Coursing the mottled mosaic: Generalist predators track pulses in availability of neonatal ungulates

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The density and distribution of resources shape animal movement and behavior and have direct implications for population dynamics. Resource availability often is “pulsed” in space and time, and individuals should cue in on resource pulses when the ...

Outcomes associated with translocation of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus): Influence of age, release timing, and year on survival

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Translocation of large mammals has become common practice for wildlife managers charged with conservation of animals and their genetic integrity on increasingly modified landscapes.

Summer Watering Patterns of Mule Deer in the Great Basin Desert, USA: Implications of Differential Use by Individuals and the Sexes for Management of Water Resources

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Changes in the abundance and distribution of free water can negatively influence wildlife in arid regions. Free water is considered a limiting factor for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Great Basin Desert.
