Human activities catalyse risk avoidance behaviours in wildlife across taxa and systems.
However, the broader ecological significance of human‐induced risk perception remains …

Predators impose top‐down forces on prey populations, with the strength of those effects
often varying over space and time and among demographic groups. In ungulates, predation …

Defensive traits are hypothesized to benefit prey by reducing predation risk from a focal
predator but come at a cost to the fitness of the prey. Variation in the expression of defensive …

Objectives We determined how temperature influenced avoidance of risky areas and habitat
selection in a climate generalist, white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; hereafter “deer”) …

Human impacts on the environment and wildlife populations are increasing globally,
threatening thousands of species with extinction. While wildlife‐based tourism is beneficial …

Understanding the role of recruitment in population dynamics of white‐tailed deer
(Odocoileus virginianus) is important for management. In the central Appalachian …
