Survival of ruffed grouse chicks in northern Michigan
Article Abstract:
Radio transmitters were used to determine the cause of a significant drop in ruffed grouse chick survival between 1996 and 1997 in Michigan. Avian predation was found to be the primary cause of chick mortality; implications for state wildlife management planning are also discussed.

Cause-specific mortality and survival of white-tailed deer fawns in southwestern Lower Michigan
Article Abstract:
White-tailed deer fawns were fitted with radiocollars during spring 2001 and 2002 to quantify cause-specific mortality, survival, and home range size and composition in the southwestern Lower Peninsula of Michigan, USA. It was observed that habitat quality, land cover and use were potential factors that contributed to high fawn survival.

Relationship of autumn hunting season to the frequency of deer-vehicle collisions in Michigan
Article Abstract:
The relationships between hunting season and frequency of deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) in Michigan are studied. The coincidental timing between peak of the rut and peak of DVCs suggests deer movement related to the rut is the predominant cause for the autumn peak in DVCs.
