Genetic Structure and Demographic Analysis of Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium)
Recent improvements in genetic analyses have paved the way in using molecular data to answer questions regarding evolutionary history, genetic structure, and demography. Key deer are a federally endangered subspecies assumed to be genetically unique (based on one allozyme study), homogeneous, and …

Individual-based modeling of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) movements and epizootiology
<p>White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are important game mammals and potential reservoirs of diseases of domestic livestock, so diseases of deer are of great concern to wildlife managers. In many situations, models can be useful for integrating existing data, understanding disease …

Population Characteristics of Urban White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) in Southern Springfield, Missouri
Population characteristics of the urban white-tailed deer herd in southern Springfield were investigated from January 1997 through December 1998. Throughout the duration of the study a total of fifty-three deer were captured by the use of Clover traps and a rocket net. A total population size …

Impact of a Historical Translocation on Populations of White-Tailed Deer Odocoileus virginianus
<p>Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to study the impact of a historical translocation event on populations of white-tailed deer in Georgia. The technique may also serve as a model by which management practices for other rare species can be studied. Populations from an …

Utilization of Corridor Habitat by White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Denton County, Texas
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) (N=15) movements were determined with use of radio telemetry techniques to determine the utilization of corridor habitat on the Lake Ray Roberts Greenbelt Corridor (RRGC) in north central Texas. Home ranges were calculated using three estimation types. …

An Evaluation of Life History Parameters of White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in North Dakota
… history characteristics of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have been documented in the Northern Great Plains, but limited information is available in regions dominated by grasslands. The objectives of our study were to document movements, cause-specific mortality, survival rates, and …

Using spatial methods to analyse anthropogenic predation risk and movement ecology of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
Hunting has been used as a central tool by wildlife managers to maintain populations of game species, however, we still lack a good understanding of exactly how hunting influences deer biology. Technological advances in GPS data over the last two decades now enable us to perform more detailed …

Habitat Interference by Exotic Axis Deer (Axis axis) on Native White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Texas
… would interact with native white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgimanus). Axis deer (Axis axis), the most common exotic ungulate in the state, are larger and more gregarious than white-tailed deer, and there is overlap in resources used by both species. In this study, I tested if the presence of …

A paleozoological perspective on predator extermination and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Boddaert) overabundance in central Texas.
… has resulted in pest-level white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus texana) populations in some areas. Predator extermination has dramatically reduced the average body size of members of the extant predator guild, and large carnivores most capable of hunting white-tailed deer are extirpated. …

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Population Reconstruction for Black Bear (Ursus americanus) and White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Population Management
… population sizes of exploited white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and black bear (Ursus americanus). Downing reconstruction (Downing 1980) was the most commonly used reconstruction technique among biologists participating in this study. Based on a comprehensive literature review and …

Use of geographic information systems and infrared-triggered cameras to assess white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) habitat in Denton County, Texas.
This study utilized geographic information systems, remote sensing, and infrared-triggered cameras to assess white-tailed deer habitat in Denton County, Texas. Denton County is experiencing tremendous growth in both population and development. Despite their presence here historically, white-tailed …

Effects of Prescribed Fire Regimes on White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Browse, Forage, and Nutrient Availability in the Pineywoods Ecoregion of Texas
… is a management tool for white-tailed deer (<em>Odocoileus virginianus</em>) habitat, influencing browse availability, herbaceous production, and nutrient content. In 2020 and 2021, this study utilized 46 plots across East Texas to assess these habitat components. A stem count index survey method …

The impact of variation in the Toll-like receptor 3 gene on epizootic hemorrhagic disease in Illinois white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
… as it leads to death in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The EHD virus (EHDV) is a double-stranded (ds) RNA virus and is transmitted by midges of the genus Culicoides. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are part of the innate immune system and detect various types of pathogens upon …

Evaluating the influence white-tailed deer have on wetland vegetation types with respect to wetland birds at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, Michigan
"White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), can be keystone herbivores in forest ecosystems and greatly impact forest conditions. Results of previous deer herbivory research could cause biologists concern when managing wetlands as suitable habitat for migratory waterfowl since high levels of …

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 …
