Survival of female elk in northern Arizona
Article Abstract:
Elk survival rates appear to be indicative of growing elk populations in mild climates with limited or no predation. Current harvest levels seem adequate to permit the elk population to rise and move into new habitats.

Habitat use and survival of preflight wild turkey broods
Article Abstract:
Vegetation in plots used by Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) preflight broods in southwest Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, USA, are measured to determine microhabitat selection for ground roosting and to determine if microhabitat was related to poult survival. Plots surrounding ground roost are found to have greater visual obstruction, increased tree decay, higher percent grass, shrub litter, forb cover and lower percent bare ground cover than random sites.

Survival and cause-specific mortality rates of adult white-tailed deer in New Brunswick
Article Abstract:
The survival and mortality rates of adult white-tailed deer in northern and southern New Brunswick were studied from Feb 1994 to May 1997. The survival of deer appeared to be dependent on legal harvest in those populations which were exploited, and otherwise on coyote predation. The majority of the does in the northern study site, where legal harvest was restricted to males, died as a result of predation, suggesting that legal harvest may be an additive mortality factor.
