• A review of the population dynamics of mule deer and black‐tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus in North America (2013, background): “In four studies, fawn survival and recruitment were the largest contributors to changes in l (Hatter & Janz 1994, White & Bartmann 1998, Lomas & Bender 2007, Bishop et al. 2009); in one study, adult survival had the largest effect on l (Robinson et al. 2002).”
• Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “…factors of large herbivores including timing of breeding (Cook et al. 2004), pregnancy and twinning rate (Keech et al. 2000, Stewart et al. 2005), gestation length (Garcia et al. 2006), birth mass (Keech et al. 2000, Lomas and Bender 2007), and survival (Cook et al. 2004, Bender et al. 2007).”
• Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “Although predation is routinely identified as the proximate cause of mortality for neonatal mule deer, survival and recruitment of young mule deer also are sensitive to maternal nutritional condition and forage condition (Lomas and Bender 2007, Tollefson et al. 2011).”
• Predation by coyotes on white‐tailed deer neonates in South Carolina (2012, background): “A similar pattern was reported for red deer (Cervus elaphus) calves (Clutton-Brock et al. 1987) and mule deer neonates (Lomas and Bender 2007), but in those cases, mortality was attributable not to predation on neonates but to stress, malnutrition, and disease impacts on smaller, later-born…”
