Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Damage to field corn (Zea mays) by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) can be substantial, resulting in millions of dollars lost annually. Numerous methods exist to minimize deer depredation, but all have met with varying degrees of success ...

Effects of Controlled Dog Hunting on Movements of Female White-tailed Deer [PDF]
, 2003 Understanding the responses of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to controlled dog hunting can aid in the effective implementation of canine-assisted population management strategies.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Contact Rates in Female White-Tailed Deer [PDF]
, 2008 White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are important game mammals and potential reservoirs of diseases of domestic livestock; thus, diseases of deer are of great concern to wildlife managers.

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 ...

Regulated commercial harvest to manage overabundant white‐tailed deer: An idea to consider?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Declines in hunter recruitment coupled with dramatic growth in numbers of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have challenged our ability to manage deer populations through regulated hunting.

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Factors influencing spatial heterogeneity of female white‐tailed deer harvest dynamics
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Successful management of exploited wildlife populations is contingent upon understanding what variables most affect mortality rates (e.g., legal harvest mortality) and adopting regulations that directly address those factors in a manner that accomplishes
