Both temporal and spatial aspects of predator management influence survival of a temperate ungulate through early life

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Recent meta-analyses indicate that predator removal experiments result in marginal increases in prey abundance at best. However, most predator removal studies take place for less than the target prey’s generation time and lack a targeted spatial approach.

Endemic chronic wasting disease causes mule deer population decline in Wyoming.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and moose (Alces alces shirasi) in North ...

Context‐dependent effects on spatial variation in deer‐vehicle collisions

Ecosphere, 2015
Identifying factors that contribute to the risk of wildlife‐vehicle collisions (WVCs) has been a key focus of wildlife managers, transportation safety planners and road ecologists for over three decades.

From conception to recruitment: Nutritional condition of the dam dictates the likelihood of success in a temperate ungulate

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Maternal effects are the influence of maternal phenotype and the maternally-provided environment on the phenotype (i.e., expression of traits) of offspring. Frequently, maternal effects are manifest both before and after parturition.

Exotic pediculosis and hair-loss syndrome in deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in California [PDF]

, 2016
Infestation with nonnative, "exotic" lice was first noted in Washington black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) in 1994 and has since then spread throughout the western United States. In California, infestation with the exotic louse Damalinia

Outcomes associated with translocation of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus): Influence of age, release timing, and year on survival

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Translocation of large mammals has become common practice for wildlife managers charged with conservation of animals and their genetic integrity on increasingly modified landscapes.

PrPCWD lymphoid cell targets in early and advanced chronic wasting disease of mule deer

, 2002
Up to 15% of free-ranging mule deer in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming, USA, are afflicted with a prion disease, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), known as chronic wasting disease (CWD).

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Weathered antlers as a source of DNA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
We tested antlers of Coues white‐tailed (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) and mule deer (O. hemionus) in various stages of natural decomposition to determine the degree of weathering that cast antlers could endure and still yield usable DNA.
