De novo chromosome-length assembly of the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) genome [PDF]

GigaByte, 2021
The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is an ungulate species that is distributed in a range from western Canada to central Mexico. Mule deer are an essential source of food for many predators, are relatively abundant, and commonly make broad ...

Serosurveillance for livestock pathogens in free-ranging mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Routine disease surveillance has been conducted for decades in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in California for pathogens shared between wildlife and domestic ruminants that may have implications for the animal production industry and wildlife health ...

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 ...

Nutrition regulates reproductive senescence and terminal investment across the reproductive cycle of a long-lived mammal [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Deterioration in nutritional condition with aging could reduce reproductive success but coincides with declines in residual reproductive potential, thus invoking opposing expectations for late-life reproduction.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Prion Gene Variation Are Consistent With a Response to Chronic Wasting Disease‐Induced Selection in Wild White‐Tailed Deer [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) poses a threat to cervids and is increasingly prevalent throughout North America. Prion protein gene (PRNP) variation may confer some degree of genetic resilience, creating an impetus to examine changes in allelic variation ...

A simple genetic method to distinguish mule deer and bighorn sheep fecal pellets and its application to detecting bighorn sheep colonization events in California

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2023
Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) habitat frequently is geographically discontinuous and the metapopulation model fits this species well. Consequently, extinction-colonization dynamics are important and need to be monitored.

Demodicosis in a Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) from Saskatchewan, Canada [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
Infestation of deer with Demodex spp. mites has been described in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and in Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) in North America, as well as in four species of deer in Europe. We describe Demodex sp.

Nutritional-Landscape Models Link Habitat Use to Condition of Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
In heterogeneous landscapes, large herbivores employ plastic behavioral strategies to buffer themselves against negative effects of environmental variation on fitness.

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 ...
