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

Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Mother to offspring transmission of chronic wasting disease in Reeves' Muntjac deer [PDF]

, 2013
The horizontal transmission of prion diseases has been well characterized in bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), chronic wasting disease (CWD) of deer and elk and scrapie of sheep, and has been regarded as the primary mode of transmission.

Regional coyote densities estimated from camera trapping covary with deer productivity, anthropogenic land use, and human–coyote conflicts

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Density estimates assist conservation and management decisions. Unfortunately, management of elusive mesocarnivores occurring at low densities has often relied on qualitative metrics or population indices. The proliferation of camera trap sampling of wildlife provides an opportunity to apply recently developed methods for estimating density of unmarked

Chronic Wasting Disease management responses in North America: A public policy analysis

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study we use the Multiple Streams Framework from public policy theory to assess the responses of wildlife management agencies in states and provinces with CWD‐positive cases in the United States and Canada to alleviate public concerns and manage the spread of this disease.

Pregnancy Rate and Number of Fetuses of White-Tailed Deer Related to Body Measurements and Serum Metabolites

Acta Biológica Colombiana
This study aimed to assess the association between fertility and the number of fetuses of free-ranging concentrate-supplemented white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus, texanus, Mearns 1898) from northern Mexico (27 °N) with body measurements and ...

Juvenile predation overwhelms nutritional effects on female ungulate fat reserves in a high‐predation system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ungulate body fat reserves reflect the nutritional environment, often serving as a useful indicator of bottom‐up resource availability. However, body fat reserves also integrate energetic costs associated with avoiding predation risk and reproductive effort, and it is ...
