Habitat Quality Influences Migratory Strategy of Female White-Tailed Deer
Title Habitat quality influences migratory strategy of female white-tailed deer Chairperson: Dr. Michael S. Mitchell Partial migration is a life history strategy that is common for ungulate species living in seasonal environments. One factor that influences the decision to migrate by ungulates is access to high quality habitat. We evaluated the influence of access to winter habitat of high qual...
متن کاملBreeding behavior of female white‐tailed deer relative to conception: Evidence for female mate choice
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, characterized by increased activity and excursions outside the home range. As movement patterns may influence conception, our goal was to exami...
متن کاملExperimental Evidence of Spatial Memory and Home Range Affinity in White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
Introduction The role of spatial memory in how animals move through landscapes remains elusive and its quantification challenging (Moorcroft 2012; Spencer 2012; Fagan et al. 2013). Memory effects in the spatial ecology of animals were postulated in the earliest observations of the movements of individual animals and were eventually confirmed with the development of radio-tracking technology (M]...
متن کاملSpace Use and Survival of White-Tailed Deer in an Exurban Landscape
Exurban development is nonmetropolitan, residential development characterized by a human population density and average property size intermediate between suburban and rural areas. Although growth in exurban areas is outpacing that of urban, suburban, or rural landscapes, studies of deer (Odocoileus spp.) ecology in exurban areas are nonexistent. During 2003–2005, we studied space use (i.e., se...
متن کاملDoes landscape connectivity shape local and global social network structure in white-tailed deer?
Intraspecific social behavior can be influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. While much research has focused on how characteristics of individuals influence their roles in social networks, we were interested in the role that landscape structure plays in animal sociality at both individual (local) and population (global) levels. We used female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianu...
