What deer poo can tell us about the future of Britain’s woodlands Original
Brambles are considered a nuisance by many woodland managers. But we’ve discovered that fallow deer have a surprising taste for it. In our recent research, we found this unexpected preference by analysing plant DNA from fallow deer poo, offering a fascinating glimpse into their diet. And this discovery could help us better understand how deer shape woodland ecosystems and influence conservation efforts.
Horizontal viewsheds of large herbivores as a function of woodland structure
1 INTRODUCTION Remote sensing methods have extensive applications in wildlife ecology research (Kays et al., 2015; Neumann et al., 2015). For example, trail cameras have revolutionized our understanding of animal habitat use and activity patterns at the population level (Green et al., 2020), while GPS tracking has given insight into the processes underpinning complex movement decisions of individual animals (Hebblewhite & Haydon, 2010).

The effects of population management on wild ungulates: A systematic map of evidence for UK species
Types of interventions Interventions were categorised and grouped into seven broader classes (Table 1). Multiple interventions were reported in 34 of the 123 included articles. Fig 7A presents the extent and distribution of articles in each intervention class. Shooting was the most well-studied intervention class and was examined in 78% of included articles (n = 96).
White-tailed deer found to be huge reservoir of coronavirus infection
New research from the U.S. has shown that white-tailed deer are being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans. Antibodies were found in 40 per cent of deer that were tested from January to March 2021 across Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York state. A second unpublished study has detected the virus in 80 per cent of deer sampled in Iowa between November 2020 and January 2021.

White-tailed Deer Found to Be Huge Reservoir of Covid-19
White-tailed deer in North America were recently found to harbor Covid-19, with 80% of the animals testing positive for the virus in a recent sampling. Credit: United States Department of Agriculture/Public Domain In a recent sample of white-tailed deer, 80% were found to have an active COVID-19 infection. By Graeme Shannon, Amy Gresham & Owain Barton New research from the US has shown that many white-tailed deer are infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans.
