Analysis and Publication of Deer Research Data in Southeast Alaska, 1978-1998. Research Performance Report, 1 July 1998-30 June 1999

摘要

The purpose of this project is to compile unpublished data on Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocileus hemionus sitkensis) and forest ecology for the scientific community, agency personnel, and the public. The highest priority is publication of results from 3 Federal Aid research projects, which I supervised, dating from 1987 through 1998. In addition, there is earlier deer work, much of it unpublished, which I plan to summarize in the form of an annotated bibliography. At present, 2 research papers have been submitted; 8 papers are in preparation; and several in-house publications or projects are planned. Brief descriptions of each of these efforts and a timeline for completion are provided here. Completion of this project is expected to take more than 1 year.
