Topical Bibliography for the White-Tailed Deer ('Odocoileus virginianus') in NineU.S. National Park Service Regions and Parts of Canada

摘要

The purpose of the bibliography is to provide National Park Service managers witha topical list of investigations on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus spp.) that focuses on readily accessible sources elucidating deer ecology, with particular emphasis on the potential for these animals to affect the environments in which they live. Given the rapid rate at which such information is accumulating, the authors intend for the bibliography to serve as only a temporary resource, sufficient for the next few years. The period should see the development of a fully articulated strategy to address deer impacts to native plant and animal communities on lands in the National Park System.
