Mule Deer Responses to a Pinyon-Juniper Removal
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are a large-bodied herbivore that is declining in abundance throughout the Intermountain West for a suite of reasons. One of these reasons is expansion of single-leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) and Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) into sagebrush communities in the …

Winter habitat use by mule deer in Idaho and Montana
… survival for species such as Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) depends on an energy conservation strategy where they use habitats at lower elevations and on south facing slopes with adequate thermal or canopy cover. However, not all mule deer habitats are equivalent in …

Ecology of mule deer on the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, Colorado
Mule deer (<i>Odocoileus hemionus</i>) population dynamics, movements, and habitat use were studied on the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeastern Colorado during January 1983-December 1984. Thirty-eight adults and 28 fawns were radio collared, and 35 adults were color collared or ear tagged. …

Diet and diseases of Zion Canyon mule deer, Zion National Park, Utah
Many mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Zion Canyon, Zion National Park appear to be in poor condition. In this study diet composition, nutritional value of the diet, prevalences of diseases and parasites, and herd composition were examined for further evidence of poor condition. Analysis of forage …

Effect of enhanced nutrition during winter on the Uncompahgre Plateau mule deer population
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations declined across much of the West during the 1990s, prompting state wildlife agencies to explore mule deer limiting factors. The greatest concern of agencies and sportsmen was whether declining habitat quality, predation, or both were responsible for the …

Habitat Selection of White-tailed and Mule Deer in the Southern Black Hills, South Dakota
White-tailed deer (Odocoi/eus virginianus dacotensis) populations have been declining in the Black Hills since the-mid 1970's. This decline is believed to be due to habitat deterioration. Most habitats in the Black Hills are becoming ponderosa pinedominated climax communities. Such pine communities …

Tooth lesions and fluoride content in teeth, bones and antlers of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus)
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) from the US Air Force Academy (USAF A) at Colorado Springs, Colorado have shown antler fractures and tooth lesions. Brittle bones and tooth lesions have been associated with high ingestion of fluorides. The present study compared prevalence and severity of tooth …
