Heart rate biologgers reveal individual-specific energy landscapes for mule deer [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background An important, yet often overlooked component of animal movement behaviour is the physiological cost incurred by animals when travelling through an environment, i.e., the “energy landscape”.

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.

Ecological effects of fear: How spatiotemporal heterogeneity in predation risk influences mule deer access to forage in a sky‐island system [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Forage availability and predation risk interact to affect habitat use of ungulates across many biomes. Within sky‐island habitats of the Mojave Desert, increased availability of diverse forage and cover may provide ungulates with unique opportunities to ...

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 ...

Chronic Wasting Disease Exposure Risk to Male Cervids During the Mating Season in A Multi‐Host Community [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Multi‐host infectious diseases present myriad challenges to wildlife managers due to variation in spatial overlap, contact rates, and host competence that complicate understanding of exposure risk and transmission dynamics.

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.
