Biological consequences of winter‐feeding of mule deer in developed landscapes in Northern Utah

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Winter‐feeding of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in developed landscapes is often advocated by stakeholders to compensate for lost or fragmented winter range.

A priori hypotheses describing the response of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) antler size to selected explanatory variables.

, 2013
Potential explanatory variables included site, age, and climate for year-of-birth and year-of-harvest on antler size of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in western North America during 1981–2010.

Predicted genetic consequences of alternative population control strategies for North American plains bison in Yellowstone National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Balancing Current and Future Reproductive Investment: Variation in Resource Selection During Stages of Reproduction in a Long-Lived Herbivore

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Large herbivores exhibit relatively slow-paced life histories, and allocate resources toward maintaining high rates of adult survival, while juvenile survival has greater variability. Maternal females make decisions throughout life stages of reproduction

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Using maternal mule deer movements to estimate timing of parturition and assist fawn captures

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Movement patterns of maternal ungulates have been used to determine parturition dates and aid in locating fawns, which may be important for understanding reproductive rates (e.g., pregnancy and fetal), but such methods have not been validated for mule ...

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1692-1704, June 2026.
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Food or family? How gut microbes respond to diet and phylogeny in two deer species

Ecosphere
Vertebrate herbivores require symbiotic gastrointestinal (GI) microbes to extract energy and nutrients from fibrous and sometimes toxic plant diets.

Susceptibility of spring‐flowering garden plants to herbivory by mule deer

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Many people look forward to spring flowers, only to discover that mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) have eaten the sprouting plants and flower buds. One potential method to prevent this problem is to grow unpalatable flowering plants in gardens where deer ...

Prevalencia de Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato en garrapatas de venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus), venado bura (Odocoileus hemionus) y borrego cimarrón (Ovis canadiensis) en dos localidades de Sonora [PDF]

, 2016
Las garrapatas son vectores de una gran cantidad de agentes infecciosos que se pueden transmitir a una amplia variedad hospedero, tal como la borreliosis de Lyme la cual es una zoonosis de distribución mundial y es la enfermedad más común transmitida por
