Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

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 ...

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 ...

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Chronic wasting disease is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations in a white‐tailed deer population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many clinical signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus are consistent with those of chronic stress including hyperexcitability, head tremors, teeth grinding, pacing, excessive salivation, drinking, and urination. Deer with CWD‐positive (CWD+) status are more likely to exhibit poor body condition and to die, and

Mule Deer Microsatellite Data

, 2013
Microsatellite genotypes for 14 loci in mule deer (n=384). A subset of this data was also genotyped at 14 CrERV loci (see Mule Deer ERV genotype file). Individuals samples across 15 "populations" in Montana (1-12, HLN: Helena) Wyoming (13) and Utah (UT).

Feral horses influence both spatial and temporal patterns of water use by native ungulates in a semi‐arid environment

Ecosphere, 2018
The horse (Equus caballus) is a feral ungulate that currently exceeds target population sizes in many areas of western North America. Horses are behaviorally dominant over native ungulates and outcompete the latter for access to water sources. However, a

Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.
