Agricultural land use shapes dispersal in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

Abstract Background Dispersal is a fundamental process to animal population dynamics and gene flow. In white-tailed deer (WTD; Odocoileus virginianus), dispersal also presents an increasingly relevant risk for the spread of infectious diseases. Across their wide range, WTD dispersal is believed to b...
