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. |
