Relationship of Herd Density and Physical Parameters of White-tailed Deer in Northwest Florida Pine Flatwoods.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: A study assessing the effects of changes in deer density on physical parameters of deer in northwest Florida flatwoods. Biological data from white-tailed deer harvested from a pine flatwood study site in northwest Florida from 1980-89 were used to evaluate the relationship between herd density and physical parameters. Deer density was reduced significantly (P 0.05) between population density and these parameters. Although density was reduced by over 3-times, improvements in deer physical parameters were not observed. It appeared-red that herd reduction did little to improve nutritional plane. Apparently, the physical parameters of deer were insensitive to changes in density and their use in population management on poor quality habitats may be limited.; abstract: A study assessing the effects of changes in deer density on physical parameters of deer in northwest Florida flatwoods.
