Habitat preferences of mule deer [Odocoileus hemionus] as rated by pellet-group distributions [Utah]

The objective of this study was to examine if relative distributions of pellet groups were directly proportional to mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus ) use. Use is defined as relative time spent on various habitat subunits within major vegetation types. Subunit refers to a portion or subdivision of the...

Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to examine if relative distributions of pellet groups were directly proportional to mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus ) use. Use is defined as relative time spent on various habitat subunits within major vegetation types. Subunit refers to a portion or subdivision of the total mule deer habitat.
