leisurely grazing on most available plant foods. Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and other fungi. Occasionally venturing out in the daylight hours, white-tailed deer are primarily nocturnal or cr...
Recreational hunters have largely replaced natural predators of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) across much of North America; thereby, providing the greatest form of risk (both direct and indirect) to survival. On a 1861-ha property in Oklahoma, USA, we evaluated how controlled hunting ...
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) movement studies have focused on movements of white-tailed deer at varying spatial scales, from large-scale dispersal and migration to small-scale movements within home ranges and habitats [1]. However, few studies have documented fine-scale temporal movement...
White-tailed deer were first seen in the Texas Panhandle around 1854 when a keen-eyed nature expert spied them in Palo Duro Canyon. Before that time, they were more likely to be found in the eastern parts of the Panhandle, since there was more cottonwood, mesquite, juniper, and other brus...
Field mouse is a name applied to various wild-living mice in different parts of the world. The Old World field mice are species of the genusApodemus,closely related to the house mouse and found throughout Eurasia and North Africa. The widely distributed long-tailed field mouse,Apodemus sylvatic...

The energy exchange of white-tailed deer in an open field environment under clear winter skies at night is presented. Environmental radiation flux was measured with field instruments; radiation loss and surface temperature of deer were estimated with a simulator; heat loss by convection, evaporation,...
