Context Meaningful intraspecific taxonomy allows for robust classification of within-species
diversity and effective conservation and management. Subspecies definitions broadly agree …

The taxonomy of American deer has been established almost entirely on the basis of
morphological data and without the use of explicit phylogenetic methods; hence …

Approximately 100 years ago, unregulated harvest nearly eliminated white‐tailed deer
(Odocoileus virginianus) from eastern North America, which subsequently served to catalyze …

Hybridization is a natural process at species‐range boundaries that may variably promote
the speciation process or break down species barriers but minimally will influence …

Highly mobile species that thrive in a wide range of habitats are expected to show little
genetic differentiation across their range. A limited but growing number of studies have …

Taxonomic classifications are based on phylogenetic relationships, which can be inferred
from paleontological, morphological, or genetic data. In this paper, I describe recent …

Understanding the degree to which population connectivity is influenced by social structure,
movement patterns, and management actions is important for development and evaluation …

This is the first study to document the genetic diversity of the white‐tailed deer population on
St. John, US Virgin Islands. The island population was founded by a small number of …

Recent improvements in genetic analyses have paved the way in using molecular data to
answer questions regarding evolutionary history, genetic structure, and demography. Key …
