商品簡介
The white-tailed deer evolved in North America and is one of the oldest, most adaptable, and most successful species. Management has ranged from protecting them in areas where they are endangered, to maintaining a stable population, and reducing the numbers to alleviate agricultural and other damage. Here wildlife specialists synthesize the current understanding of the biology and management of white-tailed deer. Among their topics are nutrition, population dynamics, interactions with other large herbivores, impacts on ecosystems and society, and extensive management. The final chapters survey management on private property; in eastern, Midwestern, and western North America; in Latin America; and in exurban, suburban, and urban environments.
