Range‐wide analysis of genetic structure in a widespread, highly mobile species (Odocoileus hemionus) reveals the importance of historical biogeography

EK Latch, DM Reding, JR Heffelfinger… - Molecular …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Research on deer taxonomy and its relevance to management

MA Cronin - Ecoscience, 2003 - Taylor & Francis
Taxonomic classifications are based on phylogenetic relationships, which can be inferred
