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

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’

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

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 ...

From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases

Ecography, EarlyView.
Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

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 ...

Cyclic Variation in the Mule Deer Thymus.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1956
SummaryThymus glands from a series of fawn, yearling, and adult female mule deer, collected on the National Bison Range, Moiese, Mont., varied in volume with the season. The thymus reached its lowest volume during the winter months (Dec.-Feb.)

Cutting through the noise: What can habitat selection modeling teach us about caribou‐fire space use dynamics?

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We synthesize the current knowledge regarding caribou habitat selection in relation to wildfires. Caribou responses to recent burns were generally weak and highly variable across subspecies or ecotypes, suggesting that post‐fire habitat selection is likely context‐dependent and the need for regionally adapted habitat management strategies.

Resident and translocated American black bear movement patterns help identify locations for crossing structures along Interstate 40 in Tennessee and North Carolina

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Bears selected areas with lower percent slope and higher percent canopy, but movement flow across the landscape was more generalized for translocated bears. Interstate 40 was a barrier to movement, but our models predicted several consistent road segments as having higher than average flow where bears might benefit from crossing structures.
