▼ This dissertation explores the relationship between deer herbivory and wind disturbance in forest dynamics. Both herbivory and wind disturbances have individually been shown to dramatically alter the structure and composition of forest communities, but the interaction of these two factors has rarely been examined. Natural disturbances are common in most forests, and strong effects of large mammal browsing are a global phenomenon, so increasing our understanding of the interaction of these two factors is essential. I surveyed a wind-damaged old growth Pennsylvania forest to determine if Tsuga canadensis (hemlock) seedlings were protected by deer when growing on or near tip-up mounds, pits or downed tree trunks. The results showed that mounds continue to act as refugia from browsing 18 years after disturbance, but having multiple surrounding microsites did not reduce browsing levels. I also documented the community-level consequences of the interaction of deer herbivory with two important disturbance legacies; windthrow woody debris and recalcitrant herb understories. This study demonstrated that woody debris abundances had very little effect on deer browsing, whereas fern abundances had strong effects on the structure and composition of the herb and woody communities. Next, I examined how deer herbivory affected the relationship between seedling growth, survival and light availability. Deer browsing altered the species growth hierarchy and negated or weakened the positive relationship between growth and light availability for several species. Finally, I examined variation in seedling growth and browse presence/absence as it relates to light availability and the neighboring woody community. This experiment revealed that the woody community surrounding an individual seedling excluded from deer did not affect the focal plant’s growth rate whereas light availability had a significant effect on plant growth for four species. Furthermore, when deer were present, this study demonstrated no change in browsing frequency or intensity in relation to neighboring communities. I believe this research fills in much needed gaps in our knowledge of how deer browsing can influence forest community dynamics following wind disturbance. These studies will enhance our understanding of gap dynamics and subsequently help guide management decisions in wind disturbed forests. Advisors/Committee Members: Chris J. Peterson.

▼ Hemorrhagic disease (HD) is the most significant infectious disease of white-tailed deer (WTD) in the southeastern USA. Acute fatal HD is most often associated with northern latitudes, and results from experimental infection studies provide evidence for the role of innate host factors in HD resistance. In Georgia (GA), a consistent geographic pattern of mortality has prompted speculation regarding the potential role of spatial variation in host innate factors introduced to the state during extensive restocking efforts to reestablish the species following near extirpation in the early 20th century. This study estimated the population genetic structure of white-tailed deer in GA using mitochondrial and microsatellite markers, compared extant deer from GA and Wisconsin (WI) to identify residual genetics from source populations, and evaluated Georgia deer for disparities in allelic diversity at the major-histocompatability (MHC) class I heavy chain locus. Metapopulations across the state demonstrate varying degrees of genetic isolation, and two isolated populations (Blue Ridge Mountains, barrier islands; p<0.05 for mtDNA) are associated geographically with increased HD mortality reports. Of 16 mitochondrial D-loop control haplotypes identified in 21 Wisconsin WTD, 7 (43.8%) were identical to haplotypes found in GA WTD, and were associated spatially with counties where WI deer were introduced in the mid-1900s. No significant differences were found in allelic diversity at the MHC Class I heavy chain locus across sampled locations. In order to appreciate purportedly high level of spatial genetic heterogeneity in Georgia white-tailed deer attributed to extensive restocking, we compared genetic diversity and structure of white-tailed deer in two states. Mitochondrial sequences were compared between similarly sized areas of both Georgia (restocked) and Wisconsin (no restocking history). Although the number of haplotypes identified in each area were similar, they were significantly more variable in Georgia. Our findings suggest fine-scale genetic structure in GA WTD, influenced by introduction history, with isolated metapopulations corresponding geographically with areas of increased HD mortality. However, host-pathogen dynamics are complex, and host innate factors represent only a portion of potential variables influencing the geographic distribution of HD mortality in GA.

▼ The major objective of this research was to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii, both emerging zoonotic pathogens vectored by the lone star tick (LST; Amblyomma americanum). The natural history of E. chaffeensis includes the LST as a vector and white-tailed deer (WTD; Odocoileus virginianus) as both a natural reservoir for E. chaffeensis and a major host of LST. Ehrlichia ewingii is also vectored by the LST and natural infections have been reported from dogs and humans, but a reservoir has not been confirmed. To delineate the geographic distribution of E. chaffeensis, a prototype surveillance system using WTD as natural sentinels was developed. To accomplish this goal, WTD from 563 counties from 18 states were tested for E. chaffeensis by serology, PCR, and culture. This sentinel system met critical criteria including diagnostic accuracy, adequacy of sample sizes and sampling intensity, key epidemiologic associations with the LST vector, and ability to detect spread of E. chaffeensis. To predict the distribution of E. chaffeensis, geostatistical (kriging) and logistic regression were conducted. Both analyses accurately predicted the distribution of E. chaffeensis and logistic regression detected climatic and land cover variables significantly associated with E. chaffeensis occurrence. The predicted E. chaffeensis distribution had good concordance with human case data. These comparisons are evidence that utilization of WTD as sentinels is an efficient alternative to human surveillance for predicting E. chaffeensis distribution and disease risk. Molecular characterization of two antigen genes (VLPT and 120-kDa) of E. chaffeensis from 102 WTD showed that multiple genetic types were present. Genetic types were not geographically clustered and co-infection of single deer and populations of deer was common. Because E. chaffeensis and E. ewingii are closely related and transmitted by the LST, deer were hypothesized to be susceptible to infection with E. ewingii. To test for E. ewingii infection, polymerase chain reaction and inoculation of fawns with whole blood from wild deer were conducted. Natural infections of WTD were detected and captive fawns were successfully infected. These data suggest that white-tailed deer may be an important reservoir for E. ewingii.

▼ White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is an intensively managed game species throughout Texas and the United States. Modeling is a tool that has been used to evaluate various management practices and their potential impacts on wildlife populations; however, many existing models are complicated for the average land manager, require a significant amount of demographic data that may not be readily available, or require expensive software. I developed a white-tailed deer (WTD) harvest model, Texas Deer Manager (TDM), using STELLA? (High Performance Systems, Inc., Version 7.0.3) and NetSim Creator? (High Performance Systems, Inc. Version 2.0), that incorporates the field data that are currently collected and/or can be easily collected, and can be used by interested landowners and state biologists. Unlike other population models specific for WTD, my TDM simulation model has an easy-to-use interface and is available on-line via the Internet. Age classes in the model are represented as fawns (<12 months), yearlings (1-2 years), and adults (>2 years) for each sex. Harvest is controlled by the model user. Currently the parameters such as survival and fecundity rates are set for an average year in the Edwards Plateau Ecological Region of Texas; however, model users can adjust survival and fecundity based on the specifics of their land management area. The website also provides general information about WTD biology and management. I conducted an on-line survey (n = 29) to evaluate the perceived usefulness and satisfaction of the TDM and website. I found that overall participants found the TDM and website were useful with 59% responding they would ?probably? or ?definitely? use it as a tool to help them determine their harvest plans. There seems to be a strong interest and need for a tool like the TDM and website. It would be beneficial to continue to develop the website and make it applicable for all the regions in Texas. Also, since the TDM model is easily accessible via the Internet and simple to use, it could be incorporated as a tool to teach population dynamics in the classroom.

▼ A study of the life history, population dynamics, and ecological relationships of the Columbian white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginiarius leucurus) was conducted on the Washington mainland, Columbian White-tailed Deer National Wildlife Refuge during 1972-1973 to provide information for management of this endangered subspecies. A total of 18,077 observations of deer recorded during 213 morning and evening periods along two observation routes provided information concerning use of plant communities, activity, group composition, and sex and age structure. Detailed behavior observations were recorded during 25 morning and evening periods. Vegetation on the study area was categorized into five major community groupings of rush, thistle, grass, horsetail, and forest Deer were observed most often in those communities that provided both cover and forage. Communities providing forage without cover were most used where cover was adjacent. The population on the study area during the winter was estimated between 200 and 230 deer or one, deer per 3.4-3.9 hectares (one deer per 8.5-9.8 acres). A buck:doe:fawn ratio of 34:100:35 was calculated for November. Average group size of deer while grazing was 2.2 animals The major classification of group size throughout, the year was of single deer. Numbers of individuals within groups were highest during winter. Overt aggression between individuals was observed infrequently. Frequency of aggressive behavior was greatest during cold weather. Bucks were always dominant over does and fawns, and does were always dominant over fawns. Grazing was numerically the major activity observed. Deer grazed more and rested less in summer than during winter. Copulations may occur primarily at night. Home ranges of bucks were 1arger than those of does, and home ranges of yearlings were larger than those of adults. Average home range size of the Columbian white-tailed deer was smaller than that reported for other subspecies. Deer avoided close association with cattle and used those areas where cattle densities were lowest or where cattle were not present. Deer showed preference for improved pasture prior to introduction of cattle for seasonal grazing. Advisors/Committee Members: Vohs, Paul A. (advisor).

▼ A population of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) was studied on a refuge (790 ha) in southwestern Washington during 1972-77. Quality of habitat was considered good for these deer and total population size remained between 164-230 as determined by mark-recapture methods during November. Population size declined significantly between the winters of 1974-75 and 1975-76. All sex-age classes exhibited a contagious dispersion on the study area; the locations of high density areas among these classes differed slightly. Sex ratio at birth did not differ significantly from 1:1, but females outnumbered males 3:1 among yearlings and adults. Fawn:doe ratios ranged from 35-60 fawns per 100 does in November. From 1972-77, yearling and adult males comprised 18-21% of the November population, yearling and adult females 50-60% and fawns 21-31%. Limited data on reproduction indicated that all yearling and adult females bred and typically carried 2 fawns, while female fawns did not breed. There was a significant inverse correlation between recruitment rates of marked females (≥ 3.5 years old) and the population estimate for November of the previous year (r = -0.999, P<0.05). Winter mortality of yearling and adult males was significantly higher than expected and 77% of all fawn carcasses located were estimated to have died during summer. In 1975-76, female mortality was concentrated in a central portion of the study area where habitat quality had presumably declined. Median ecological longevity was 2.97 for males and 4.87 for females; median age at death was significantly greater for females than males. This was due to the higher mortality rate for males (0.345) than for females (0.179) at least 1 year old. Proximate causes of death included automobiles, bacterial infections, coyotes, dogs, drowning, nutritional stress and accidents. Based on the timing of mortality for males and females, stress due to breeding activities and fawning, respectively, were probably ultimate causes of death. CWTD were not migratory and exhibited remarkable sedentary tendencies. Mean home range size for females was 112.9 ha using the convex polygon method and 158.5 ha with the determinant method; for males, mean area of home ranges with each method was 137.7 ha and 192.2 ha, respectively. Home ranges tended to become smaller with increasing age among females, but larger with increasing age among males. Several marked females exhibited behavior that could be termed territoriality. Estimates of effective population size for this near-insular population ranged from 47-67, depending on which system of copulatory success we simulated for males. Although we detected no movement of deer onto the refuge, only about 1 immigrant per generation would need to breed successfully to eliminate fixation of genes due to random genetic drift. Stability of population size documented for this population could have been enforced by several negative feedback mechanisms that were suggested, but not substantiated, by the field data.

▼ A study conducted May 1978-December 1980 determined that the present geographic range of Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, (CWTD) in Douglas County, Oregon encompassed 1199km2. The area was predominately a Quercus woodland community, typical of the Interior Valley Zone of western Oregon. The CWTD distribution was not contiguous throughout its range; the highest densities occurred along the North Umpqua River between Glide and Wilbur. Ten habitats were described: grassland, grass-shrub, oak-savanna, open oak, closed oak, oak-conifer, oak-madrone, madrone, riparian and conifer. CWTD exhibited a preference (P<0.05) for grass-shrub, oak-savanna, open oak, closed oak, riparian and conifer habitats while selecting the remaining habitats less frequently (P<0.05) than was expected from corresponding availabilities. Grassland use increased proportionally with biomass production of grasses and forbs during the spring and with mean monthly precipitation in the fall; CWTD utilized grasslands more frequently (P<0.05) during the fall than in the spring. Fawns utilized. woodland and brushland habitats more frequently (P<0.05) than yearlings and adults; yearlings utilized grasslands more often (P<0.05) and grassshrub habitats less frequently (P<0.05) than adults. Adult males occurred less frequently (P<0.05) in grass-shrub and more often (P<0.05) in conifer habitats than adult females, particularly in the summer. The population estimates for the 2745 ha study area were 628 and 740 CWTD representing an average density of 22.9 and 27.0 CWTD per km2, respectively. There existed a positive association (P<0.05) between distribution and abundance of CWTD and the juxtaposition of suitable habitat to the North Umpqua River. A positive curvilinear relationship between CWTD density and percent woodland cover was observed; maximum densities occurred in areas supporting approximately 50% woodland cover. Fall herd composition estimates were 52 fawns and 30 bucks per 100 does. Secondary sex ratios departed from unity (P<0.05) favoring males when summer rainfall was abnormally low. Malnutrition and vehicle-inflicted injuries accounted for the largest proportion of known mortality. The ultimate cause of mortality among yearling and adult males and females was apparently associated with reproduction; these activities were more demanding (P<0.05) on males. The median age at death for males (1.65) was less (P<0.05) than that observed for females (2.15). Fawn survival and recruitment varied inversely with existing population densities and winter severity. Parasite loads were light and corresponded with observed seasonal differences in the physical condition of CWTD. Convex polygon estimates of home range size for CWTD females and males averaged 21.1 ha and 32.8 ha, respectively. Elliptical home range estimates were invariably larger than corresponding convex polygon estimates and averaged 44.5 ha and 47.1 ha for females and males, respectively. Home ranges were stable between years; however, males and females…

▼ White-tailed deer are keystone herbivores that have been shown to reduce reproductive success, abundance, diversity, distribution, and survival of plants in the tallgrass prairie. I assessed concerns that deer browsing reduced food resources for northern bobwhites by reducing seed production of important grass and forb species. I also compared results of deer browse and camera survey methods and combined the 2 methods to develop a management (harvest) application. In 2008-2009, I conducted fall and winter infra-red triggered camera surveys to estimate absolute (ha/deer) density and winter browse surveys to estimate relative (above, at, or below carrying capacity) deer density on McBride pasture in Woods County, and the Cross Timbers Experimental Range (CTER) in Payne County, Oklahoma. I quantified effects of fire and browsing on growth and reproduction of one grass and three forb species (Scribner's panicum, erect dayflower, lambsquarters, and western ragweed) at McBride. In June-September 2008, I measured mean stem length and biomass, sexual reproductive effort, and percent of browsed and reproductive stems per 1 m 2 plot from within deer exclosures, deer and rabbit exclosures, and surrounding browsed vegetation in burned and unburned portions of McBride pasture. Deer density on McBride was one deer/4.3 ha with a recruitment rate of 0.3 fawns/doe, which browse surveys indicated to be exceeding carrying capacity. Deer density on CTER was one deer/5.4 ha with a recruitment rate of 0.9 fawns/doe, which browse surveys indicated to be within carrying capacity. Camera survey population data supported browse survey findings and indicated CTER was the more productive site of the 2 habitats. I calculated 17 bucks and 71 does needed to be harvested from McBride to achieve a desirable sex ratio and bring the population to within carrying capacity of the site. Herbivory at McBride was attributed to deer rather than rabbits or the combination of both species. Browsing ranged from zero to 100% of stems per plot. Species' growth responses varied considerably, but sexual reproductive effort (seed production) was 1.3 - 5.6 higher for plants in burned treatments. Though browse surveys indicated deer density on McBride pasture exceeded carrying capacity, browsing did not reduce food resources for bobwhites. However, fire increased plant reproductive effort.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine vegetation and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) responses to precipitation in McMullen County, South Texas. Understanding how deer respond to drought is especially important in a drought-prone region. Vegetation was assessed using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from level 1 Landsat 5 imagery, and deer records were donated from seven anonymous ranches on Managed Lands Deer Permit (MLDP) programs within the county. The variables analyzed from the deer records were fawn-to-doe ratios (fawn crop/recruitment), body weights, and antler measurements. Results indicate that fawn crop was strongly related to spring NDVI (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05) and summer (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), spring-summer (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), March-July (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), and July-August (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05) rainfall. This positive relationship may be attributed to enhanced nutrition and fawning cover. Mature male body weights were related to summer (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), spring-summer (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), March-July (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), and July-August (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05) rainfall. Additionally, mature males demonstrated a connection between Boone and Crockett score and summer (r = 1.0; p ≤ 0.01) and July-August (r = 1.0; p ≤ 0.01) rainfall. Spring NDVI was related to spring rainfall (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05), though summer NDVI did not indicate a relationship with summer rainfall. Spring NDVI was also strongly correlated to mature male body weights (r = 0.9; p ≤ 0.05) and main beam length (r = 1.0; p ≤ 0.01). Because of incomplete harvest records, analysis of physiological characteristics such as body weights and antler measurements was limited to the combined ranch averages. Also because of a low number of time-series, five years, a nonparametric statistical analysis using the Spearman r was the analysis performed for every relationship. The Spearman calculated strength of relationship by using ranks of values. Understanding how deer respond to periods of drought or periods of high rainfall in this part of Texas may provide landowners and land managers a more accurate assessment of what their herds will look like months in advance. Advisors/Committee Members: Jensen, Jennifer (advisor), Butler, David (committee member), Dixon, Richard (committee member).

▼ In recent decades, the effects of urbanization on White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) (hereafter WTD) populations have become a major area of interest to wildlife professionals. However, while a fair amount of studies have compared the population dynamics of urbanized WTD populations (such as movement and survival) on a broad scale, few if any have ever attempted to compare them to a population along a localized gradient at the same place and time. Although the population dynamics of urbanized WTD seem to be consistent throughout literature, management applications may be undermined by inaccurate perceptions of how urban WTD populations respond when applications are based on conclusions from varying populations. By comparing common population dynamics such as movement and survival between adjacent groups of urban and rural WTD within the same general area, biologists can more accurately evaluate the direct impacts of urbanization on WTD within localized populations. This study was conducted in two counties in southern Indiana: Monroe and Brown. The city of Bloomington, Indiana has a healthy population of urban deer. We free darted WTD from a distance or captured them using dropnets, Clover traps, or suspended net guns. Once immobilized, WTD were equipped with GPS or VHF collars and monitored using satellite or radio telemetry to obtain location data. From January-July 2015-16 a total of 85 WTD was captured consisting of 45 urban individuals and 40 rural individuals. We used Kaplan-meier known fates models to determine survival and dispersal probabilities and occupancy models to determine excursion probability. Parameters of the models were estimated using Bayesian inference in JAGS. Covariates used in model selection included locality, season, and sex. Overall, survival rates were positively correlated between sex and season but not locality. Dispersals were predominately undertaken by males (25% of collared bucks), however they were not positively correlated by season or locality. Our results also suggest that urban WTD were less likely to be observed while on an excursion across all seasons than their rural counterparts, however the influence of sex did not affect excursion probability. Furthermore, both localities had highest excursion probabilities during the fall/winter and winter/spring seasons compared to the summer. Advisors/Committee Members: Carter, Timothy C. (advisor).

University of Minnesota M.S. thesis. August 2013. Major: Biology. Advisors: Dr. David Schimf. 1 computer file (PDF); vii, 90 pages.

Abundant white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) present a significant management problem in forested landscapes of North America. Conserving vulnerable communities requires quantifying herbivory levels and the density of the herbivore populations. The current study was conducted in 2006 to investigate the status of white-tailed deer throughout Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and their impacts on forest communities as well as Canada yew (Taxus canadensis) populations. Deer densities were estimated using fecal pellet surveys across islands of known deer occupancy. Using a defecation rate of 34.4 pellet groups deer-1 day-1, population estimates on Sand (8.23 deer km2) and York (7.68 deer km2) islands were considerably greater than Basswood (1.82 deer km2) and Oak (1.56 deer km2) islands. The variation in deer density reflects measurable differences in forage availability and browse quality between islands. Browse intensity and electivity indices revealed that northern white cedar or hemlock were selected for browsing by deer on Basswood and Oak islands, yet when Canada yew was abundant (on other islands) they were selected against. Dimensional analyses of browsed and unbrowsed stems were used to assess annual browse biomass production and utilization of Canada yew by white-tailed deer. A species-specific allometric relationship of stem diameter and shoot biomass was developed for Canada yew and used to predict the total browse biomass consumed at the stem level. Estimates of annual browse production and utilization from York and Sand islands revealed that deer herbivory accounted for 53% and 74%, respectively, of new browse biomass losses. Deer populations and herbivory levels on Sand and York islands are not sustainable for continued growth and reproduction of Canada yew populations, which are regionally uncommon. Landscape composition and species susceptibility to herbivory should be important considerations in the management of deer populations across Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
