2 Science Needs Identified by the Mule Deer Focus Group 1. Synthesis / delivery of information pertaining to factors limiting mule deer populations; 2. Development of tools that use remotely sensed data to assess mule deer habitat quality; 3. Improve the efficiency, accuracy, and cost effectiveness of mule deer population monitoring i.e. use of satellite imagery to monitor mule deer habitat and demography

16 Climate varies along a latitudinal gradient within the study area: Note three seasonal pamerns: 1. Winter snow proceeds from north to south 2. Heavy winter snowpack ends ~ 37 N 3. Monsoonal moisture progressing from south to north ~ mid- summer

34 The goal is to improve p/a maps by including demographic parameters: NDVI is correlated with density, produc:vity, and survival
35 Take Home Points: I. Climate (~ vegeta:on) can affect mule deer demography; detectable through standard survey data; II. Interannual varia:on in plant phenology is measurable with satellite imagery; III. Deer abundance varies predictably with NDVI; can be used to es:mate / calibrate popula:on objec:ves; IV. NDVI provides an affordable, :mely, synop:c tool for indexing deer habitat (state, regional, MU scales); can be used to: I. predict deer movements / iden:fy conflict hotspots / migra:on routes; II. Priori:ze management ac:ons (habitat restora:on, predator control, harvest, etc.).
