FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT: COMBINING PROXIMITY LOGGERS AND GPS REVEALS FEMALE WHITE-TAILED DEER (ODOCOILEUS VIRGINIANUS) AVOIDING CLOSE CONTACT WITH NEIGHBORS

Social interactions can influence infectious disease dynamics, particularly for directly transmitted pathogens. Therefore, reliable information on contact frequency within and among groups can better inform disease modeling and management. We compared three methods of assessing contact patterns: (1)...

Zusammenfassung:Social interactions can influence infectious disease dynamics, particularly for directly transmitted pathogens. Therefore, reliable information on contact frequency within and among groups can better inform disease modeling and management. We compared three methods of assessing contact patterns: (1) space-use overlap (volume of interaction [VI]), (2) direct contact rates measured by simultaneous global positioning system (GPS) locations (
