DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2845
Abstract: Abstract Female white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are thought to choose between two behavioral strategies to maximize the quality of potential mates: sit and wait, characterized by concentrating activity within a restricted area, and excursive behavior,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8084
Abstract: Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations have recovered to about 30 million animals in the United States, but land cover has changed during the interval of recovery. To address the relationship between deer densities and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9125
Abstract: Abstract Although most prey have multiple predator species, few studies have quantified how prey respond to the temporal niches of multiple predators which pose different levels of danger. For example, intraspecific variation in diel activity… read more here.

Spatiotemporal patterns of male and female white‐tailed deer on a hunted landscape

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9277
Abstract: Abstract Resource selection in sexually dimorphic ungulates is at least partially explained by sex‐specific resource requirements and risk aversion strategies. Females generally spend more time in areas with less risk and abundant, high‐quality forage due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9711
Abstract: Abstract In heterogeneous landscapes, resource selection constitutes a crucial link between landscape and population‐level processes such as density. We conducted a non‐invasive genetic study of white‐tailed deer in southern Finland in 2016 and 2017 using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4019
Abstract: Predators and prey engage in games where each player must counter the moves of the other, and these games include multiple phases operating at different spatiotemporal scales. Recent work has highlighted potential issues related to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21529
Abstract: Habitat selection is a complex hierarchical process and in ungulates typically varies at broad spatial and temporal scales and among individuals. Recent advancements in the ability of global positioning system (GPS)-collars to collect activity data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.1031
Abstract: Following declines in white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations during the 19th century, many areas throughout the southeastern United States were restocked from various sources. As a result, some populations remain genetically distinct, and phenotypic traits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-017-0514-z
Abstract: An evolutionary trap occurs when an organism makes a formerly adaptive decision that now results in a maladaptive outcome. Such traps can be induced by anthropogenic environmental changes, with nonnative species introductions being a leading… read more here.
