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 ...

Public health significance of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and its role in the eco-epidemiology of tick- and mosquito-borne diseases in North America

Parasites & Vectors
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are a ubiquitous species in North America. Their high reproductive potential leads to rapid population growth, and they exhibit a wide range of biological adaptations that influence their interactions with ...

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Fusion or Confusion? Assessing the Impact of Visible‐Thermal Image Fusion for Automated Wildlife Detection

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performances of synchronous aerial visible (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) imagery for detecting great blue heron (Ardea herodias) nests and individuals using a YOLO11n model. VIS and TIR images were automatically aligned using deep learning, and both early and late fusion approaches were tested.

Linking bovine tuberculosis on cattle farms to white-tailed deer and environmental variables using Bayesian hierarchical analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bovine tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis in livestock and wildlife with hosts that include Eurasian badgers (Meles meles), brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Mammalian Osteoderm Ultrastructure in the Armored Acomys Spiny Mouse Tail

Small, EarlyView.
The ultrastructure of armored platelets – termed osteoderms – in the tail skin of Acomys cahirinus spiny mice is characterized using 2D and 3D microscopy methods. The imbricated structure is composed of calcium phosphate biomineral and has select structural elements that are bone‐like and tooth‐like in nature.

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.
