Fawn Counts and Adult Female Site Use Are Mismatched Indicators of Habitat Quality in an Endangered Deer

DIVERSITY-BASEL, 13(2).

By: J. Jacobs n, M. Lashley* & M. Cove n 

author keywords: camera traps; Florida Keys; hierarchical model; N-mixture model; sea-level rise
TL;DR: It is indicated that fawn abundance was negatively associated with increasing elevation and human trails, contrary to models based on adult female observations alone, and the lowest elevations where fawns were most abundant were associated with dense wetland plant communities, which warrant further investigation given that those areas are most vulnerable to sea-level rise.

Raccoon Vigilance and Activity Patterns When Sympatric with Coyotes

Diversity, 12(9), 341.

By: M. Chitwood *, M. Lashley*, S. Higdon*, C. DePerno n  & C. Moorman n 

author keywords: activity pattern; camera trap; coyote; fear; mesopredator release; raccoon; trophic cascade; vigilance
TL;DR: It is indicated that nonconsumptive effects of coyote effects on raccoons are unlikely, which calls into question the ability of coyotes to initiate strong trophic cascades through some mesocarnivores. (via Semantic Scholar)

Seed depredation negates the benefits of midstory hardwood removal on longleaf pine seedling establishment

RESTORATION ECOLOGY, 27(5), 1064–1072.

By: J. Willis *, D. Schnake *, B. Wetzstein*, J. Yow*, D. Guinto n, S. Ulrich n, C. DePerno n , M. Lashley*

author keywords: facilitation; germination; hardwoods; Pinus palustris; savanna restoration; seed predators
TL;DR: The results indicated that hardwood removal may not increase longleaf pine seedling establishment, as seed depredation diminished the effectiveness of hard wood removal under mast seed availability, and suggest that planting may need to be part of the restoration strategy on sites where seeddepredation limits longleaf Pine natural regeneration.

Macroarthropod response to time-since-fire in the longleaf pine ecosystem

FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, 391, 390–395.

By: M. Chitwood  n, M. Lashley n, B. Sherrill*, C. Sorenson n, C. DePerno n  & C. Moorman n 

author keywords: Araneae; Fire-maintained; Invertebrate; Longleaf pine; Orthoptera; Prescribed fire
TL;DR: The results indicate the use of frequent prescribed fire to restore and maintain longleaf forests is unlikely to pose risks to overall macroarthropod biomass, particularly if heterogeneity in fire frequency and spatial extent occurs on the landscape. (via Semantic Scholar)

Wildlife Biology, 2017(1), wlb.00178.

By: M. Chitwood  n, M. Lashley n, J. Kilgo *, M. Cherry *, L. Conner *, M. Vukovich*, H. Ray*, C. Ruth* ...

TL;DR: Researchers and managers are urged to use caution when advocating the use of camera-based recruitment estimates, as there is a growing need to test the effectiveness of camera surveys for assessing fawn recruitment. (via Semantic Scholar)

Do coyotes Canis latrans influence occupancy of prey in suburban forest fragments?

CURRENT ZOOLOGY, 62(1), 1–6.

By: B. Jones *, M. Cove n , M. Lashley n & V. Jackson *

author keywords: camera traps; coyote; deer; rabbit; squirrel; urban wildlife
TL;DR: Coyotes play an important role in regulating the herbivorous mammals and hence may provide similar ecological benefits in urban/suburban forest fragments through trophic cascades, since hunting may not be allowed in urban and suburban habitats. (via Semantic Scholar)

Resource selection by southeastern fox squirrels in a fire-maintained forest system

JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 97(2), 631–638.

By: A. Prince*, M. Chitwood, M. Lashley*, C. DePerno*  & C. Moorman* 

author keywords: growing-season fire; hardwood; longleaf pine; oak; prescribed fire; Quercus; Sciurus niger
TL;DR: Fox squirrels likely benefit from growing-season fires that maintain expansive upland pine stands but are negatively affected by homogeneous fire application and mechanical hardwood removal that reduce the occurrence of reproductively mature oaks across the landscape. (via Semantic Scholar)

Do Biological and Bedsite Characteristics Influence Survival of Neonatal White-Tailed Deer?

PLOS ONE, 10(3), e0119070.

By: M. Chitwood  n, M. Lashley n, J. Kilgo *, K. Pollock n, C. Moorman n  & C. DePerno n

MeSH headings : Animals; Birth Weight; Conservation of Natural Resources; Coyotes / physiology; Deer / physiology; Ecosystem; Female; Litter Size; Lynx / physiology; Male; North Carolina; Population Dynamics / statistics & numerical data; Predatory Behavior / physiology; Reproduction / physiology
TL;DR: It is indicated that neonate survival was low and coyote predation was an important source of mortality, which corroborates several recent studies from the region and indicates that mitigating effects of coyotepredation on neonates may be more complicated than simply managing for increased hiding cover.

Poor soils and density-mediated body weight in deer: forage quality or quantity?

WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, 21(4), 213–219.

By: M. Lashley n, M. Chitwood  n, C. Harper *, C. Moorman n  & C. DePerno n 

TL;DR: Contrary to previous reports from poor productivity soil regions, deer on the study site should be able to meet lactation requirements when the quantity of high-quality forage is not limiting, and similarly body weight should be density-mediated. (via Semantic Scholar)

Prescribed fire affects female white-tailed deer habitat use during summer lactation

Forest Ecology and Management, 348, 220–225.

By: M. Lashley n, M. Chitwood  n, R. Kays n , C. Harper *, C. DePerno n  & C. Moorman n 

Contributors: M. Lashley n, M. Chitwood n, R. Kays n , C. Harper *, C. DePerno n  & C. Moorman n 

author keywords: Fire-return interval; Longleaf pine; Pinus palustris; Compositional analysis; Cover; Odocoileus virginianus
TL;DR: Female deer increased selection of burned areas as years-since-fire increased, likely because there was a temporary loss of cover immediately following fire with plants slowly regenerating the subsequent growing seasons and to avoid areas depleted of cover. (via Semantic Scholar)

White-Tailed Deer Population Dynamics and Adult Female Survival in the Presence of a Novel Predator

JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 79(2), 211–219.

By: M. Chitwood n, M. Lashley n, J. Kilgo *, C. Moorman n  & C. Deperno n 

Contributors: M. Chitwood n, M. Lashley n, J. Kilgo *, C. Moorman n  & C. Deperno n 

author keywords: coyote; elasticity; neonate; population dynamics; sensitivity; survival; white-tailed deer
TL;DR: It is indicated that for low-density deer populations with heavy predation pressure on neonates, protecting adult females from harvest may not completely offset population declines, and managers may have to start with reductions in adult female harvest. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Body fat; fat index; leptin; Odocoileus virginianus; white-tailed deer
MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue / physiology; Animals; Deer / blood; Deer / physiology; Female; Leptin / blood; Pregnancy; Southeastern United States
TL;DR: Serum leptin concentrations were similar between seasons but were lower in lactating and gestating females, indicating that leptin may have limited value for estimating fat reserves in white-tailed deer. (via Semantic Scholar)

Vocalization Observed in Starving White-tailed Deer Neonates

By: M. Chitwood, M. Lashley*, C. Moorman*  & C. DePerno* 

Contributors: M. Chitwood*, M. Lashley*, C. Moorman*  & C. Deperno* 

TL;DR: Loud, frequent vocalizations by 5 Odocoileus virginianus (White-tailed Deer) neonates that ultimately died of starvation due to abandonment are observed and it is believed that neonate vocalization could serve as a useful field indicator of abandonment. (via Semantic Scholar)
