Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We opportunistically characterize a 2.5 km white‐tailed deer movement along a beach in a suburban coastal environment, providing a natural history account of deer behavior amidst intersectional factors. We also describe multiple notable behaviors performed by the deer that could be caused by a variety of factors, including disorientation, illness, or ...

Scavenger Assemblage Behavior at Puma Kills in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The count of the number of kills visited for each scavenger species and the number of kills where the species was the first to discover the carcass. ABSTRACT Scavengers structure food webs through consuming carrion and cycling nutrients in ecosystems. Scavenger assemblages are shaped by multiple factors, including intra‐ and interspecific competition ...

Influence of temperature, landscape, and fine‐scale forage availability on ungulate morphometrics
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Abiotic and biotic variables strongly influence morphological variation in wildlife, but there is disagreement on the relative importance of various factors. Primary competing hypotheses regarding drivers of interpopulation animal morphology include those related to heat regulation and those related to forage availability.

Unveiling the predator–prey spatial game using multiple habitat selection functions
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract There has been extensive work on the predator–prey spatial game, with a focus on how prey spatially respond to predators and how predators respond spatially to the distribution of various prey. Central to this work is the distinction between actual risk of predation relative to landscape availability and determining what prey perceive as risky

Indirect effects between deer, mice, and the gypsy moth in a forest community [PDF]
, 2014 White-tailed deer are ecosystem engineers that dramatically alter forest understory vegetation. Consequently, deer can impact many species in a forest through both direct and indirect effects. One species that deer may indirectly affect is the gypsy moth,
