National Whitetail Deer Hunting and Management Survey Results

This survey of whitetail deer hunters from across the U.S., undertaken by Outdoor Life Magazine, aims to give a broad and detailed picture of the condition of the whitetail deer population across the country, which the magazine describes as "at a crossroads." Though there have been numerous environmental factors that have impacted whitetail populations, the survey concentrates on hunters' perceptions to gauge how healthy the deer population is on the ground. The result is a comprehensive survey of hunters' views, not only of deer populations, but also how they are being "managed" by state agencies.

Effects of Phenotypic Characteristics on the Length of Stay of Dogs at Two No Kill Animal Shelters

In this review of dog populations at two no-kill shelters, researchers looked specifically at how physical traits of dogs, as well as their ages, might affect the length of time they stay at the shelter. Without accounting for any sort of "personality" traits, they found a strong relationship between the size of the dog and their length of stay (LOS), but found only tenuous links between the dog's coat color and their LOS, as well as the type of breed (including "fighting breeds") and their LOS. Researchers hope that their findings will help shelters tailor their adoption efforts to focus on getting LOS down for all dogs, concentrating first on those that might normally stay in the shelter the longest.
