Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.

Association mapping of genetic risk factors for chronic wasting disease in wild deer

Evolutionary Applications, 2013
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting North American cervids. We assessed the feasibility of association mapping CWD genetic risk factors in wild white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule ...

Behavioral measure of the light‐adapted visual sensitivity of white‐tailed deer

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
Although many aspects of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) biology and physiology have been studied thoroughly, few studies have examined deer perception.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Drawing Animals in the Paleolithic: The Effect of Perspective and Abbreviation on Animal Recognition and Aesthetic Appreciation

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of Pleistocene figurative cave art in Western Europe consists of line drawings depicting large herbivores from the side view, and outlines were sometimes abbreviated to the head‐neck‐dorsal line. It is often assumed that the side view was used because it facilitates animal recognition compared to other views, and that abbreviated ...

The Prevalence of Lead Fragments from Shotgun Slugs/Muzzleoader Bullets in Ground Venision Meant for Human Consumption [PDF]

, 2014
Recent studies have shown that lead shotgun slugs and muzzleloader bullets often fragment inside game animals. The majority of ammunition types used in firearms that are permitted by the State of Illinois for hunting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...

Exploring management options for moose at their southern range limits considering growing disease risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Simulation models for moose in New York including hypothetical disease and harvest scenarios help explore management options under uncertainty. While the population currently appears to be stable, increases in parasite‐induced disease attributed to shared space‐use with white‐tailed deer could lead to declines in this marginal moose population ...

Wildlife‐friendly fencing for bison: Assessing success for containment and conflict prevention

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
As land managers increasingly adopt wildlife‐friendly fencing to reduce habitat fragmentation, questions remain regarding their effectiveness in containing large species like plains bison (Bison bison). Our 822‐day study of a novel fencing system in Montana demonstrates high containment success, with only 31 escape events recorded.

Forage Yields in Turkey Hill Wilderness in East Texas for White-tailed Deer [PDF]

, 2016
Wilderness areas are often considered quality areas where natural processes occur without human activity. It is often assumed that these unmanaged areas will provide and support quality wildlife habitat. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
