Physiological Correlates of Neonatal Mortality in an Overpopulated Herd of White-Tailed Deer

We examined the relationship of development, immunocompetence, and tick burdens to neonatal mortality in an overpopulated herd of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) during 1990-1992 in northeastern Oklahoma. Risk of mortality to 21 days of age was inversely related to body mass, body mass/le...
