Our results show that variation in coyote and human activity does not significantly impact the vigilance behavior of white-tailed deer year-round, suggesting that deer rely on other risk-avoidance behaviors or neither are functioning as apex predators in the region....

The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) gets its name for the white fur on the underside of its tail, which it flashes when it senses a threat. The species includes several subspecies, such as the tiny Florida Key deer and the large northern white-tailed deer. Fast Facts: White-Tai...
Abstract Thirty allozyme loci and 35 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction sites were examined in 24 white-tailed deer and 46 mule deer from a hybrid zone in West Texas. A common mtDNA genotype is shared by all of the mule deer with 67% of the white-tailed deer. At the albumin locus, ...
Data were collected on white-tailed deer kept in pens at the Cusino Wildlife Experiment Station in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Of 13 observed matings 7 took place between 16th and 22nd Nov., 5 between 9th and 14th Oct., and l on 5th Dec. Of 42 fawnings, the 1st occurred on ...
