Resource selection by New York City deer reveals the effective interface between wildlife, zoonotic hazards and humans

Although the role of host movement in shaping infectious disease dynamics is widely acknowledged, methodological separation between animal movement and disease ecology has prevented researchers from leveraging empirical insights from movement data to advance landscape-scale understanding of infectious disease risk. To address this knowledge gap, we examine how movement behavior and resource utilization by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) determine the distribution of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) which depend on this host for dispersal in a highly fragmented New York City borough. Multi-scale hierarchical resource selection analysis and movement modeling provide insight into how deer’s individual movements construct the risk landscape for human exposure to the Lyme disease zoonotic hazard – infected I. scapularis. We conclude the distribution of tick-borne disease risk is the result of individual resource selection by deer across spatial scales in response to habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic disturbances

John Grimké to John Kean, circa July 1791

John Faucheraud Grimké wrote to John Kean in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Grimké discussed certificates and mentioned that there were no indents for either Jane Grove or Bartholomew Corvaisier. Thanked Kean for the subscription business to the bank and had no objections to him making the arrangements of shares to give him the greatest number of votes. Planned to send Kean the power of acting as his proxy and a power to make the proper disposition and arrangement to give the greatest number of votes; and also, a certificate of Grimké being appointed guardian of his children. Had a meeting with the Bank Subscribers and agreed that William Smith should be their Proxy generally and in case of absence or sickness, the office would devolve upon John Kean. Asked Kean to tell Mr. Smith and Mr. Izard that he sent an order to them for his Laws and obliged them to pay. This document is undated but likely written in July 1791.

John Faucheraud Grimké to Susan Kean, March 22, 1799

John Faucheraud Grimké wrote from Charleston, South Carolina to Susan Kean in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Grimké acknowledged the receipt of Susan’s letter and informed Susan he and Mrs. Grimké were much obliged by Susan’s kind inquiries. Was encouraged to hear of Peter’s improvement in his studies and encouraged Susan to teach him at an early age to relish the pleasures of literature. Enquired of Mr. Shubrick about a suit and suggested Susan ask Mr. Read about the suit as he was in possession of John Kean’s books.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1790s/1598/thumbnail.jp
