Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...
