Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, methodology): “All assigned values for each life-history characteristic were within the range we observed for deer in Round Valley and were in accordance with that reported for mule deer elsewhere (Gaillard et al. 2000, Cook et al. 2007).”
Effect of Enhanced Nutrition on Mule Deer Population Rate of Change (2009, methodology): “We combined ultrasound measurements with the body condition score to estimate body fat of each deer (Cook et al. 2007).”
Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, methodology): “We estimated IFBFat from 26 Wildlife Monographs kidney-fat indices for all deer before 1997 to provide a comparable estimate; however, kidney-fat indices are less sensitive to IFBFat at high levels of nutritional condition (Stephenson et al. 1998, Cook et al. 2007, Pierce et al. 2012).”
Influence of Summer and Autumn Nutrition on Body Condition and Reproduction in Lactating Mule Deer (2010, methodology): “…rump fat thickness (MAXFAT) and thickness of the longissimus dorsi muscle between the 12th and 13th rib, adjacent to the spine (hereafter, loin depth), using a portable ultrasonograph (Sonovet 600; Medison Corp. Universal Medical, Newbedford Hills, NY [Stephenson et al. 1998, Cook et al. 2007]).”
