The white-tailed deer breeding season, called the rut, occurs in autumn in October or November. Males spar with their antlers to compete for females. Females give birth to one to three spotted fawns in spring. The mother hides her fawns in vegetation, returning to nurse them four or five ...
white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), we compared vegetation between heavily used and unused areas within home ranges of 22 adult (2.5+ years old) males during 1 November 2017-30 January 2018, which coincides with the Mississippi modern-firearms hunting season and includes breeding season. Ve...
In white-taileddeerthere is an extension of the breeding season by 2 or 3 months (McShea et al., 1997; Thiele, 1999), which may cause greater energy expenditure. However by mid-summer, non-pregnant treated females weighed significantly more than untreated pregnant animals, but these weight ...
The zoonotic origin of the COVID-19 pandemic virus highlights the need to fill the vast gaps in our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 ecology and evolution in non-human hosts. Here, we detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more
Although techniques to induce out-of-season breeding in deer with exogenous hormones are documented, a successful technique has not been developed for use with white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The efficacy of using a combined treatment of melatonin, progesterone, and pregnant mare serum go...
Breeding Adult white-tails have reddish-brown coats in summer which fade to a duller grayish-brown in winter. Male deer, called bucks, are easily recognizable in the summer and fall by their prominent set of antlers, which are grown annually and fall off in the winter. Only the bucks grow...
which turn to a grayish-brown color in winter. The underside of their tails is white, which is exposed as a warning signal when they feel threatened. Male deer, called bucks, have antlers that are shed and regrown annually, typically reaching their largest size during the breeding season (...
Behavior and dispersal of white-tailed deer during the breeding season Sexual competition and aggression by adult females have been hypothesized to prompt dispersal by male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We observ... CS Rosenberry,MC Conner,RA Lancia - 《Canadian Journal of Zoology》 ...
Coyote abundance (i.e., predation risk) varied spatiotemporally and was a predictor of foraging behavior during at least one season for all sex-age classes of deer except juveniles. Adult males were more sensitive to predation risk in winter, after the breeding season, whereas adult females ...
