Capture method affects survival estimates and subsequent interpretation of ecological covariates for a long‐lived cervid by Katherine L. Brackel, Eric S. Michel, Bailey S. Gullikson, Jonathan A. Jenks, William F. Jensen

“…Our goal was to assess whether 3‐ and 6‐month survival estimates varied by capture method while simultaneously assessing whether capture method affected model selection and interpretation of ecological covariates for white‐tailed deer neonates captured from three study sites from 2014 to 2015 in North Dakota and South Dakota, USA. We found survival varied by capture method for 3‐month neonate survival with opportunistically captured neonates displaying up to 26% greater survival than their counterparts captured via VITs; however, this relationship was not present for 6‐month survival. …”
