Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In England, transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and certain species of free‐roaming, wild deer has been implicated in some endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) regions. However, there are still data and knowledge gaps regarding the role of deer in the epidemiology of this disease.

Facts about Wildlife Diseases: Things You Should Know about Deerpox Virus in Farmed White-Tailed Deer in Florida

EDIS
Pox viruses are widespread and infect many hosts, including insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Some, like chicken pox, are highly adapted to humans, and others, like monkeypox, can be transmitted from species to species.

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.

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.

White‐tailed deer detection rates increase when coyotes are present

Ecology and Evolution
Predator species can indirectly affect prey species through the cost of anti‐predator behavior responses, which may involve shifts in occupancy, space use, or movement.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

Deer-Activated Bioacoustic Frightening Device Deters White-Tailed Deer

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) damage urban and suburban plantings, as well as crops and stored feed. We tested the efficacy of a frightening device that played pre-recorded distress calls of adult female white-tailed deer when activated by ...
