  • Population ecology of the Columbian white-tailed deer

    Creator:
    Gavin, Thomas Alan
    Abstract:
    A population of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) was studied on a refuge (790 ha) in southwestern Washington during 1972-77. Quality of habitat was considered good for these deer and total population size remained between 164-230 as determined by mark-recapture methods during November. Population size declined significantly between the winters of...

  • Status and habitat use of Columbian white-tailed deer in Douglas County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Smith, Winston Paul
    Abstract:
    A study conducted May 1978-December 1980 determined that the present geographic range of Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, (CWTD) in Douglas County, Oregon encompassed 1199km2. The area was predominately a Quercus woodland community, typical of the Interior Valley Zone of western Oregon. The CWTD distribution was not contiguous throughout...

  • Nutritional ecology of cervids in old-growth forests in Olympic National Park, Washington

    Creator:
    Leslie, David M.
    Abstract:
    Nutritional ecology of unhunted and sympatric populations of Roosevelt elk, Cervus elaphus roosevelti, and Columbian black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus columbianus, was investigated in old-growth forests of the Hoh Valley in Olympic National Park, Washington, from September 1979 to November 1981. Seasonal diets of both cervids generally were comprised of common...

  • Advantages of habitat selection and sexual segregation in mule and white-tailed deer

    Creator:
    Main, Martin Benjamin
    Abstract:
    I studied sexual segregation in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Q. virginianus) in different environments and at different population densities to test the hypothesis that sexual segregation occurs in ungulates as the result of different reproductive strategies; females select habitat and behave in manners primarily designed to promote...
