Abstract

Resolving issues of deer (Odocoileus spp.) over-abundance will require gaining more reliable knowledge about their role in ecosystem dynamics. Science can contribute by advancing knowledge in 4 overlapping spheres of research: model development, measurement techniques, population management, and human behavior.
