Measuring Fine-Scale White-Tailed Deer Movements and Environmental Influences Using GPS Collars

Figure 4

Plots of the effects of changes in weather within hour from day to day on hourly deer movements. Temperature influenced movements of females during spring at 0100 hr (a) 2.41, ) and male during winter at 1300 hours ((b) 4.1, ). Males movements were affected by relative humidity during spring at 0100 hours ((c) 2.56, ) and 1300 hours ((d) 3.78, ). Precipitation influenced female movements at 1300 hours during summer ((e) 3.35, ). Pressure affected movements of females during spring at 0100 hours ((f) 2.58, ) and summer at 0200 hours ((g) 3.12, ) and male movements during winter at 1300 hours ((h) 4.82, ). Male movements during winter were affected by wind speed at 1300 hours ((i) 3.35, ) and 1800 hours ((j) 3.01, ).
