Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: "This book represents all current knowledge available on black-tailed and mule deer, including how changing conditions such as fires, habitat alteration and loss, disease, climate change, socio-economic forces, and energy development are influencing their distribution and abundance now and into the future. The revisions of distribution, taxonomy, evolution, behavior, and new work being done in deer nutrition, migration and movements, diseases, predation, and human dimensions are all assembled in this volume, which will become the foundation for the latest information and management strategies to be implemented on the ground by practitioners and to inform the public."-- Provided by publisher. |

Heffelfinger is Wildlife Science Coordinator for Arizona Game and Fish Department and Full Research Scientist in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at University of Arizona, Tucson. He received a B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point (1986) with majors in Wildlife and Biology and an M.S. from Texas A&M University - Kingsville (1989). For the last 17 years, he has served as Chairman of the Mule Deer Working Group sponsored by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. This working group consists of the leading black-tailed or mule deer expert from each of 24 states, provinces, and territories in western North America.

His interests center on game bird and large mammal conservation, conservation genetics, taxonomy, evolutionary history, wolf recovery, and hunting as the cornerstone of wildlife conservation. James is a Certified Wildlife Biologist, and recipient of the O. C. "Charlie" Wallmo Award for contributions to black-tailed and mule deer knowledge and conservation in North America, Mule Deer Foundation's Professional of the Year Award, Lee Gladfelter Memorial Award, and Distinguished Alumnus University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.

He then served in the United States Air Force in New Mexico and Texas as a research assistant with the space program. During his service, he also attended New Mexico State University and obtained his M. S. degree in wildlife management. Upon his discharge from the Air Force, he attended the University of Idaho where he received his Ph.D. in wildlife science (1976). After graduation he was appointed Assistant Professor at Auburn University (1976-1978) and Professor, and Associate Director of the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Arizona (1978-2007) before accepting the Boone and Crockett Professor of Wildlife Conservation at the University of Montana (2007-2015).
