White-tailed deer density and habitat relationships
Studies on density related indices of white-tailed deer were conducted on the Conservation Research Center (CRC) in Warren County, Virginia from June 1985 to April 1986. Food habits and bark-stripping by deer were also evaluated. Whole body weights, stored fat status, abomasal parasite counts, and …

Landscape genetics and CWD in white-tailed deer
… study we used molecular techniques to examine deer movement and population structure in the context of chronic wasting disease transmission and spread. Chronic wasting disease is an infectious prion encephalopathy in cervids that is endemic to Colorado and Wyoming but has spread across the US …

Factors Affecting White-tailed Deer Recruitment in Virginia
Deer (<i> Odocoileus </i> spp.) are an important cultural and economic resource. They are the most popular game species in the United States and the number one driver of conservation funding. On the other hand, they also cause damage to resources including to the agricultural industry, private …

Understanding White-Tailed Deer Productivity: Population Ecology of Neonates
… few studies have evaluated this habitat for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). In the Northern Great Plains, forested habitat is limited and often fragmented, which could affect fawn ecology. To what extent fawns use Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands in the Northern Great …

Effects of fall orphaning on white-tailed deer fawns
… to determine the effect of fall orphaning on white-tailed deer fawns (Odocoileus virginianus). Data were collected on: 1) the survival rate of fawns, 2) the location of home ranges, and 3) the association of fawns with other deer. Twenty-one tagged fawns were orphaned in the fall by …

DISPERSAL BEHAVIOR OF WHITE-TAILED DEER IN AN AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) dispersal and excursion movements impact gene flow, population dynamics, and disease spread. Knowledge of movement characteristics and habitat selection during dispersal could provide the ability to predict how deer may relocate themselves within the …

Movement and Association of White-Tailed Deer in Southwest Minnesota
… effects of seasonal movements is fundamental to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population management. Understanding seasonal movement is critical to assessing the frequency of deer association and estimating risk for transmission of chronic wasting disease. Furthermore, knowledge of …

Movement and Mortality of White-tailed Deer in Southwest Minnesota
… in understanding the population dynamics of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). In addition, proper deer management requires an understanding of fawn mortality from birth to recruitment. No direct information is available on population dynamics of deer in intensively cultivated areas …

Modeling winter habitat for white-tailed deer in southwestern Virginia
… and January-March, 1986, to estimate relative deer densities on eleven study areas on the Jefferson National Forest, southwestern Virginia. Habitat data were collected on the same transects in July-September, 1985. Additional habitat information was measured from aerial photographs and USDA …

Habitat selection and spatial personalities of Belizean white-tailed deer
… to habitat loss and other anthropogenic impacts. Deer (family Cervidae) in the Neotropics act as keystone species because of their importance as prey for threatened and endangered large carnivores, as well as the ecological role they play in shaping plant communities and nutrient cycling. …

White-tailed deer hunting and habitat use in Robert Allerton Park
… my objectives were to investigate changes in deer habitat use and spatial clustering following 10 years of deer removal in RAP. I evaluated changes in annual deer counts within RAP’s three main habitat types, dry mesic upland forest, wet mesic floodplain forest and developed land using a …

Factors influencing the white-tailed deer harvest in Virginia, 1947-1967 \
Virginia's deer kill data, 1947 to 1967, were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analysis was used as the deer kill, in general, is still increasing in the counties of Virginia. The data concerning proximity, access, human population, farm size, farmland uses, and the types and acreages of forest …

Effects of Fertility Control on the Movement Ecology of White-Tailed Deer
… of fertility control on the movement ecology of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann). Deer populations may become abundant in human-dominated landscapes, taking advantage of anthropogenic resources and the lack of natural predators. This abundance poses increasing ecological, …

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 …

Movements, Survival, and Sightability of White-Tailed Deer in Southeastern South Dakota
<p>To effectively manage white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations, managers need to identify population parameters including but not limited to movements, survival and cause-specific mortality. It also is helpful to examine population size and density. The primary objectives of my …
