An automated device for training white‐tailed deer to visual stimuli

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Although many aspects of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) biology and physiology have been studied thoroughly, few studies have confirmed deer cognitive perception, partly because of the difficulty of efficiently training sufficient numbers of ...

Lead Concentrations in White-Tailed Deer Tissue Due to Retained Bullets

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2018
Mobilization of lead from retained bullets may lead to elevated lead levels in game tissue with consequences for consumers. We investigated lead mobilization in 2 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) carrying retained lead ammunition from previous ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

An intuitive method to calculate the utilization distribution of an animal from step‐selection analysis

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Step‐selection analysis (SSA) is a popular tool for estimating resource/habitat selection conditional on the local availability of conditions as determined by an animal's movement capacity. These models can be subsequently used to parameterize a movement model; however, most SSAs focus instead merely on interpreting the direction and magnitude

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Record of a Sixteen-year-old White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Carbondale, Illinois: a Brief Note. [PDF]

, 2011
In May 2004, a dead white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) radiocollared in 1991 was found in Carbondale, Illinois, and was aged at 16 years old via cementum annuli analysis. She was a member of an unharvested, free-ranging population and likely died
