White‐tailed Deer Signpost Photoluminescence [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUltraviolet (UV) induced photoluminescence is widespread in Mammalia; however, its function(s) remain unclear. Most of the research to date has focused on the surface expression of photoluminescence (e.g., pelage), described qualitatively.

Scrapie versus Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWhite-tailed deer are susceptible to scrapie (WTD scrapie) after oronasal inoculation with the classical scrapie agent from sheep. Deer affected by WTD scrapie are difficult to differentiate from deer infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD).
