Density Dependence and Stochastic Variation in Overabundant, Unmanaged White-tailed Deer Herds of Eastern National Parks-- Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Description

Using 7-year to 13-year sets of deer monitoring data from 16 NPS sites, PI estimated parameters of the theta-logistic model (TLM), a widely-used population model which integrates the two key factors of population dynamics: density dependence and environmental stochasticity.
