White Tailed Deer and Wasting Disease-Keystone species

If I don’t the deer will destroy it. When my grandfather was young, deer were scarce. They had been overhunted. While that sounds terrible, this was the South, many people were recovering from the great depression and those deer were eaten. People were hungry. Fast forward to now. There are no real predators in most areas other than hunting. The deer population is huge. That has led to an increase of Chronic Wasting Disease. Below are some links that discuss all of this and why it is important. Use these links to explain to your classmates your understanding of deer as a Keystone Species and their role in the ecosystems.
Read this first: What is a Keystone species? Keystone Species 101 (Links to an external site.)
Then read this: What is CWD? (Links to an external site.)
Then choose one or both of the following sources to discuss. Make sure you cite it/them in APA. then, since this is a Discussion, make sure you reply to two other classmates.
