white-tailed deer male white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus white-tailed deer (wīt′tāld′, hwīt′-) n. A North American deer (Odocoileus virginianus) having a coat that is grayish- or reddish-brown, a tail that is white on the underside, and many-branched antlers in the male. Also...
Through their selective foraging, large populations of white-tailed deer are altering population sizes, driving extirpations, and facilitating invasions of plants throughout the eastern United States. I tested the hypothesis that they can also drive biotic homogenization in forest understory communities. ...
Do white-tailed deer and the exotic plant garlic mustard interact to affect the growth and persistence of native forest plants? Abstract Herbivores and invasive plants strongly affect the persistence of individual species and the overall composition of forest plant communities. Alth... Waller,M D....
White-tailed deer prefer to eat native plants over certain invasive(人侵性的) plants. These cating habits lower native plant diversity and richness, while increasing the amount of plant communities made up of non-native species, according to a new study. The study used dat a from previous stu...
A similar study looking at the effects of deer on western hemlock found that western hemlock is more vulnerable to deer browsing than the spruce. Western hemlock has a higher browse-line because even when the apical height has exceeded the browsing limit, the deer are still able to pull down...
(D)Populations of white-tailed deer (白尾鹿) are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As popula-tions grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat ...
The deer management options model (DeerMOM) is a computer simulation model designed to assess the effects of management options on population size, sex and age structure of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). In this model, we grouped deer into three age classes: fawn, yearling, and ad...
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. ...
Populations of white﹣tailed deer(白尾鹿) are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger.Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops...
Hybridizing populations of mule (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (O. virginianus) from the Davis Mountains of Texas were examined to determine similarities in species composition of their helminth communities and if abundances of helminth species in those communities varied across host species...
