Effect of Body Configuration on Perturbation Resistance Across Arboreal Lizard Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animals that inhabit high‐risk habitats often exhibit morphological and behavioral adaptations to contend with environmental challenges. In arboreal (tree‐based) habitats, such adaptations can include corrective behaviors, such as modification of body‐limb angles, to avoid dislodgement by perturbations.

Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

Development of High-Throughput Genomic Resources to Inform White-Tailed Deer Population and Disease Management. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are the most abundant and widespread cervid in North America. Genetic data are used as a tool to monitor populations and make management decisions for this game species. However, the development and use of genomic tools that can generate a set of markers suitable for longitudinal genomic data ...

Extraction and Quantification of Hydrolyzable Tannins in Acorns from Different Species of Oak Trees (Quercus spp.) [PDF]

, 2019
Do white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) prefer to eat certain types of acorns based on tannin content? Hydrolyzable tannins consist of gallate groups connected via ester linkages to a carbohydrate (D-glucose) The Prussian Blue method was used to ...

Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, sharing of wild harvests to facilitate food security followed concepts of kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, cultural shifts have reduced access to foods for some populations in modern times. Cultural altruism through sustainably harvested wild meat donation programmes (WDPs) can reduce food and nutritional ...

Potential diseases and parasites of white-tailed deer in Missouri (2016) [PDF]

, 2016
White-tailed deer are susceptible to a variety of diseases, parasites and injuries. Although these conditions do not account for a large percentage of annual statewide deer mortality (typically less than 5 percent), in some situations disease or parasite

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.
