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 …

The effect of introduced Sitka black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis Merriam, on the forest understorey plant communities of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia: Pattern, process, and recovery
The introduction of Sitka black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis Merriam, to Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C., Canada) in the late 19th century provides a valuable opportunity to understand the long-term effects of deer populations on the vegetation of the North American …

An Evaluation of Deer and Pronghorn Surveys in South Dakota
<p>To properly manage white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and the American pronghorn antelope (Antilocapridae americana), wildlife managers must identify population perimeters, sample size, age and sex ratios of these three species. The primary objective of …

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 …

Effects of enhanced winter nutrition and climatic variation on population performance of a large herbivore
… survival of adult female and neonatal mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and associated effects on the population growth rate (λ). We modelled effects of individual and environmental covariates on survival of adult female mule deer from 2013 to 2018, and neonatal mule deer from 2014 to 2016. We …

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 …

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 …

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. …

Assessing wildlife habitat suitability for ecological sites and state and transition models
… (Centrocercus urophasianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) habitat models using published literature and a fuzzy logic knowledge representation and evaluation system. The resulting outputs were 0-1 scaled indices representing the relative suitability of habitat based on measured habitat …

The Role of Epizootic Bovine Abortion Agent on Mule Deer Populations of the Mojave National Preserve in California and the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in Oregon
… fetus, but effects of the disease on mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are uncertain (Brooks et al. 2016). This research will examine exposure to the EBA agent among mule deer populations from the Mojave National Preserve in California and the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in Oregon. …

Effects of Cheatgrass Control on Wyoming Big Sagebrush in Southeastern Utah
Critical mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) winter ranges in southeastern Utah dominated by Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata var. wyomingensis [Beetle and A. Young] Welsh) have developed dense cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) understories. These communities are currently characterized by …

A PROTOTYPE POPULATION DYNAMICS MODEL FOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.
… known data on seasonally migratory mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) as both an example and a test of the model's capabilities. By combining detailed sub-models at the single species level, the behavior of a larger system is mimicked. The mathematical parameters of this system are restricted to …

Big Game Habitat Utilization in Noncommercially Thinned Ponderosa Pine in Custer State Park
… pine stands by elk (Cervus elaphus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus yirginianus). The study was conducted in the northwest corner of the park during June, July, and August of 1991 and 1992. The study area included approximately one-third thinned pine, one-third …

ACCEPTANCE OF WILDLIFE CROSSING STRUCTURES ON US HIGHWAY 93 MISSOULA, MONTANA
… coyote (Canis latrans), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) while mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) exhibited a lower acceptance rate of 67%. I used logistic regression to predict the probability of acceptance given the immediate structural attributes of the crossing structures. Species …

Molecular ecology and hierarchical models elucidate chronic wasting disease dynamics
… in a northern Colorado population of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). CWD, a fatal prion disease, has been affecting this population for many decades. It has not caused extirpation of the deer, but may play an important limiting role in population growth and resilience. We employed genetic …
