Household Food

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are large herbivores that thrive in urban and peri-urban landscapes. Their voracious appetite and ubiquity have made deer a significant threat to growing food in home and community gardens; features that often make important contributions towards household food security. Focusing on food availability, stability, utilization, and access, I outline how white-tailed deer threaten household food security. Deer threaten availability of food by widely consuming plants grown for human consumption. Deer threaten stability of household food security by causing spatially and temporally unpredictable food losses. Deer threaten utilization of food, through acting as sources of food-borne pathogens (i.e. Escherichia coli O157:S7). Deer threaten access to food by necessitating relatively high-cost economic interventions to protect plants from browsing. Although numerous products are commercially available to deter deer via behavioural modification induced by olfaction and sound – evidence of efficacy is mixed. Physical barriers can be highly effective for reducing deer browsing, but often come with a high economic cost. Users of community gardens benefit from fencing by receiving shared protection against deer herbivory at a significantly lower per capita cost. Among many other benefits, fenced community gardens are useful in mitigating the threats of white-tailed deer to household food security.

Chemical Inhibition

Eucalyptus baxteri produces a zone of suppression beneath its canopy when growing in coastal heath. Dominant species including Casuarina pusilla and Leptospermum myrsinoides are suppressed, but species such as L. juniperinum and Xanthorrhoea australis are not. Investigations of shoot water potential, soil nutrient levels and shading failed to suggest suppression by competition. E. nitida produces a slightly deeper shade but fails to produce a similar pattern of differential suppression. Chemical inhibition (allelopathy) of Casuarina pusilla, Eucalyptus viminalis and Triticum aestivum by E. baxteri was shown to exist under laboratory conditions. Foliar leachates of E, baxteri are inhibitory in bioassays and contain gentisic and ellagic acids. Litter leachates are also inhibitory in bioassays and contain gentisic, gallic, sinapic, caffeic and ellagic acids. Both leachates also contain several unknown phenolic aglycones, numerous glycosides, and terpenoids. Topsoil extracts are also inhibitory and contain resins and, possibly, terpenoids. The suppression zone is associated with the allelopathic ability of E. baxteri, and is maintained either through the direct transfer of foliar leachates to leaves of suppressed species, through root absorption of foliar and litter leachates, or as a consequence of mycorrhizal inhibition by such leachates.

Growth And Reproduction

Translocation is increasingly being used to supplement existing occurrences and establish new occurrences of rare plant species, but translocation success is dependent on understanding responses to habitat conditions and management. Platanthera integrilabia (white fringeless orchid) is a rare terrestrial orchid species presently found in mostly small occurrences that comprise a fraction of its historical distribution and abundance in the southeastern United States. We investigated the influence of shade and white-tailed deer herbivory, as cited concerns for this species, on the early success of its translocation from tubers as determined through measures of emergence, survival, growth, and reproduction of two cohorts. Our findings suggest that translocation from tubers could be a viable option to assist the conservation of P. integrilabia relative to its propagation from seed, but that low early emergence, survival, and flowering rates should be considered in translocation plans. Our results also indicate that translocation and ongoing habitat management should consider the potential for light availability to differentially impact distinct plant life stages and influence deer herbivory. We recommend that additional translocation studies designed to investigate the influence of site conditions on outcomes could improve the success of such efforts as well as inform the management of extant occurrences.
