The challenges of overabundant white-tailed deer continue to mount for communities throughout North America. High deer abundance leads to a loss of biodiversity by reducing the availability of habitat for other wildlife, the persistence of rare plants, and the ability for forests to regenerate. These issues are in addition to the direct impacts on humans including deer-vehicle collisions, agricultural damage, and the spread of tick-borne diseases. The challenges for deer management are mounting in traditional deer habitat areas in rural and natural areas, but these pale in comparison to urban areas, where hunting access coupled with public perceptions make solutions ever rarer and more difficult to implement. While there has been an increased focus on strategies to address overabundant urban deer, there has been very little research done on deer population ecology in these areas due to access constraints that exist in normal communities. Here we conducted the Fort Drum urban deer study in Fort Drum, New York to monitor fawn survival, measure impacts of the urban landscape on fawn behavior, develop strategies for highly accurate abundance estimation, and monitor the maternal spread of Neospora caninum.
