Relative Habitat- and Browse-Use of Native Desert Mule Deer and Exotic Oryx in the Greater San Andres Mountains, New Mexico

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Introduced oryx (Oryx gazella gazella) have expanded into the San Andres Mountains of south-central New Mexico, but little is known of concurrent habitat used by oryx and desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki); the latter in New Mexico is a ...

Re-evaluating neonatal-age models for ungulates: does model choice affect survival estimates? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
New-hoof growth is regarded as the most reliable metric for predicting age of newborn ungulates, but variation in estimated age among hoof-growth equations that have been developed may affect estimates of survival in staggered-entry models. We used known-

Energy development and hunter success for mule deer and pronghorn in Wyoming

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Infrastructure associated with energy development influences hunter access and introduces disturbance activities to landscapes that can influence habitat selection and behavior of ungulates.

Differences in dietary niche and foraging behavior of sympatric mule and white‐tailed deer

Ecosphere, 2019
Mule (Odocoileus hemionus) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are congeneric and share similar life histories, yet their distribution is segregated across much of North America. Extensive research on both species within and outside their zone

Mammalian predator and prey responses to recreation and land use across multiple scales provide limited support for the human shield hypothesis

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Outdoor recreation is widespread, with uncertain effects on wildlife. The human shield hypothesis (HSH) suggests that recreation could have differential effects on predators and prey, with predator avoidance of humans creating a spatial refuge ‘shielding’

Black-Tailed and Mule Deer

, 2023
Abstract Black-tailed and mule deer (both designated as Odocoileus hemionus; hereafter referred to as “deer” or “mule deer”) comprise an iconic species that is broadly distributed across western North America. This species occurs in all rangeland types including grasslands, desert shrublands, forests, savannah woodlands, and even portions of ...

Effects of underburning on habitat use of mule deer during migration

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) populations have been declining throughout their range and deteriorating habitat conditions are likely one cause of these declines. Reductions in food and cover availability along traditional routes may especially

Diets of Desert Mule Deer [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1997
We studied the diets of desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki Mearns) at 3 sites in Arizona and collated this information with that of previous diet studies of desert mule deer across their range in the United States. We documented 96 browse, 69 forbs, 14 succulent, and 6 grass species that each constituted greater than or equal to 1% of the ...

Rumen Microbial Ecology in Mule Deer [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1969
Mule deer rumen microbial populations from animals in the natural habitat in Utah and from captive deer fed various rations were studied. The microorganisms were characterized on the basis of morphology and Gram reaction. Rumen samples contained 13 identifiable types of bacteria and one genus of ciliate protozoa (Entodinium).

Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) resource selection: trade-offs between forage and predation risk

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Ungulates commonly select habitat with higher forage biomass and or nutritional quality to improve body condition and fitness. However, predation risk can alter ungulate habitat selection and foraging behavior and may affect their nutritional condition ...
