Ecology and conservation of sympatric tropical deer populations in the Greater Calakmul Region, south-eastern Mexico [PDF]

, 2005
The conservation and management of tropical deer populations need both knowledge of the ecology and natural history of deer and an understanding of the utilization of deer populations by humans.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

Bovine tuberculosis in Swedish farmed deer [PDF]

, 2004
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) was introduced into Swedish farmed deer herds in 1987. Epidemiological investigations showed that 10 deer herds had become infected (July 1994) and a common source of infection, a consignment of 168 imported farmed fallow deer ...

A GIS‐Based Approach to Modeling Carnivore Activity in the Pleistocene Site of Cova del Rinoceront (Iberian Peninsula)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A significant methodological difficulty in the interpretation of Pleistocene zooarchaeological assemblages is the identification of taphonomic agents that modify and break bones. Carnivores, in particular, have been a main focus, as competition with carnivores may have affected carcass acquisition opportunities for humans in the past.

White-tailed Deer Case Study

, 2014
Very-high frequency (VHF) collar and reward-tag data for a case study on white-tailed deer in Pennsylvania from 2009-2011. The data is in the format required by program SURVIV, and the additional code to run the integrated Brownie tag-recovery and known ...

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

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.

An automated device for training white‐tailed deer to visual stimuli

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Although many aspects of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) biology and physiology have been studied thoroughly, few studies have confirmed deer cognitive perception, partly because of the difficulty of efficiently training sufficient numbers of ...
