Genetic Variation in White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Populations in Western Maryland

Genetic variability and differentiation in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L) of Central Europe

“…However, in contrast to the red deer (Bergmann, 1976;Kleymann, 1976a, b); Bergmann and Moser, 1985;Pemberton et al, 1988;Hartl et al, 1990aHartl et al, , 1991, the fallow deer (Pemberton and Smith, 1985;; Randi and Apollonio, 1988; Herzog, 1989), the moose (Ryman et al, 1977(Ryman et al, , 1980(Ryman et al, , 1981Reuterwall, 1980), the reindeer (R 0 ed et al, 1985;Røed, 1985aRøed, , b, 1986Røed, , 1987 and the white-tailed deer (Manlove et al, 1975(Manlove et al, , 1976Baccus et al, 1977;Johns et al, 1977;Ramsey et al, 1979;Chesser et al, 1982;Smith et al, 1983;Sheffield et al, 1985;Breshears et al, 1988) the factors influencing the amount and distribution of biochemical genetic variation in one of the most abundant European deer species, the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), are only poorly understood.…”

Biochemical variation in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.): are r-strategists among deer genetically less variable than K-strategists?

“…Various multilocus investigations have been carried out within the past decade to evaluate the amount of genetic diversity within and among populations of white-tailed deer (Manlove et a!., 1976;Ramsey et a!., 1979;Baccus et a!., 1983;Smith et al, 1984Smith et al, , 1986Sheffield et a!., 1985), fallow deer (Pemberton and Smith, 1985;Harti et a!., 1986), wild and semi-domestic reindeer (RØed, 1985a, b;, moose (Ryman et a!., 1977(Ryman et a!., , 1980 and different subspecies of red deer (Cameron and Vyse, 1978;Gyllensten et a!., 1983;Baccus et a!., 1983;Dratch and Gyllensten, 1985;Hart!, 1986). In contrast the level of genetic variability in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.), one of the most abundant species in Central Europe, is largely unknown.…”

Genetic variability in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and its relationship to environmental parameters and herd origin (Cervidae)

“…Additionally, levels of heterozygosity have been associated with individual and population characteristics such as number of antler points, body size and various reproductive parameters (summarized by Smith et al, 1982, andSmith et al, 1984). Genetic differences exist within the species over long and short distances (Erickson, 1979;Manlove, 1979;Ramsey et al, 1979;Hillestad, 1984;Smith et al, 1984;Sheffield et al, 1985).…”
