Long‐term biological legacies of herbivore density in a landscape‐scale experiment: forest understoreys reflect past deer density treatments for at least 20 years (2014, background): “For the past 20 years, all stands have experienced roughly equivalent deer densities across the landscape of ca. 10–12 deer km 2 (Royo et al. 2010; data on file at Warren Forest Sciences Laboratory).”
Do occupancy or detection rates from camera traps reflect deer density? (2017, background): “Perhaps no species in the world has been counted as much as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), because of its importance for ecology and wildlife management across North America (Royo et al. 2010; Averill et al. 2016).”
