Cropland restricts occurrence and alters spatial ecology near the mule deer geographical range limit by Levi J. Heffelfinger, David G. Hewitt, Joshua P. Vasquez, Timothy E. Fulbright, Randy W. DeYoung, Louis A. Harveson, Warren C. Conway, Shawn S. Gray

“…We modeled the effects of cropland on space use and resource selection at multiple spatio-temporal scales to characterize population and individual habitat components of mule deer. Results We observed a functional response in cropland use, where at low coverage, use was proportional to availability but decreased with > 20% cropland coverage at the home range and within-home range scales. …”
