Unsworth, James W, Pac, David F, White, Gary C, and Bartmann, Richard M, Mule Deer Survival in Colorado, Idaho, and Montana: .

Summary

We examined survival rates of mule deer (Odocoileus hemnionus) fawns (1 Jan-31 May) and adult (21 yr old) females (1 Jun-31 May) from Colorado, Idaho, and Montana to assess the influence of survival on population dynamics over a broad geographic area. Survival rates were estimated from 1,875 radiocollared fawns and 1,536 radiocollared adult female-years. We found significant year-to-year differences in overwinter survival rates of fawns among states (P < 0.001), while annual survival rates of adult females showed less variation across years (P < 0.256). Sampling distributions of survival rates bv age class were modeled with the beta-binomial distribution (BBD) and not found different among states (ad F: P = 0.118; fawns: P = 0.856). [...]
