Population genomics of free‐ranging Great Plains white‐tailed and mule deer reflects a long history of interspecific hybridization

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Hybridization is a natural process at species‐range boundaries that may variably promote the speciation process or break down species barriers but minimally will influence management outcomes of distinct populations.

Accelerated evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging white-tailed deer

Nature Communications, 2023
The zoonotic origin of the COVID-19 pandemic virus highlights the need to fill the vast gaps in our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 ecology and evolution in non-human hosts. Here, we detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more

Anaplasma phagocytophilum in White-tailed Deer

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We examined the reservoir potential of white-tailed deer for Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Results suggest that white-tailed deer harbor a variant strain not associated with human infection, but contrary to published reports, white-tailed deer are not a ...

Differences in dietary niche and foraging behavior of sympatric mule and white‐tailed deer

Ecosphere, 2019
Mule (Odocoileus hemionus) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are congeneric and share similar life histories, yet their distribution is segregated across much of North America. Extensive research on both species within and outside their zone
