Behavioral Phenomena and Population Estimation of White-Tailed Deer Based on Camera Trap Data [PDF]

, 2016
When shaping management actions and conservation programs, it is essential to understand the population dynamics of a species. One species that sees extensive management and research effort is the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), as it is both

Chronic Wasting Disease Drives Population Decline of White-Tailed Deer

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an invariably fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. Despite a 100% fatality rate, areas of high prevalence, and increasingly expanding geographic endemic areas ...

Characterization of two MHC II genes (DOB, DRB) in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is responsible for detecting and addressing foreign pathogens inside the body. While the general structure of MHC genes is relatively well conserved among mammalian species, it is notably different ...

A regional assessment of white-tailed deer effects on plant invasion

AoB Plants, 2017
Analyses deriving insights from 23 research sites across the northeastern and east central US reveals that white-tailed deer lower native plant diversity and increase the fraction of the plant community made up of non-native species.

Multi‐scale maternal behavioral responses by white‐tailed deer to coyote predation risk

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
In the piedmont region of the southeastern US, white‐tailed deer adjust maternal care strategies in response to variation in risk of encountering coyotes. In areas frequented by coyotes, adult female deer (i.e., does) increase their use of space, likely to avoid drawing coyotes to the location where a fawn is hidden.

Fine-scale Genetic Structure and Social Organization in Female White-tailed Deer [PDF]

, 2005
Social behavior of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) can have important management implications. The formation of matrilineal social groups among female deer has been documented and management strategies have been proposed based on this well ...

Susceptibility of White-Tailed Deer to Rift Valley Fever Virus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Rift Valley fever virus, a zoonotic arbovirus, poses major health threats to livestock and humans if introduced into the United States. White-tailed deer, which are abundant throughout the country, might be sentinel animals for arboviruses. We determined

Evaluating potential altered harvest and predator management strategies to increase white‐tailed deer population growth in the Southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
In some portions of the southeastern United States where white‐tailed deer populations are declining, alteration of adult female harvest levels and the availability of alternative foods for coyotes can help increase population growth. Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the southeastern United States have declined from ...
