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

Forest Ecology and Management, 348, 220–225.

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)

WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, 21(4), 213–219.

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)
