Popis: Fischer and colleagues revisit the unmanaged Table Mesa mule deer herd to examine the impact and dynamics of chronic wasting disease. Their findings indicate that disease prevalence and deer abundance have been surprisingly stable overall since 2005, with the disease appearing to be kept naturally in check by predation from the local mountain lion population.
