Invasive plant encroachment threatens native fauna and flora in the coastal dunes. Herbivores play an important role in the composition of plant communities. In this study, I measured black-tailed deer habitat use in relation to the invasive coastal lupine in order to better understand the relationship between herbivores and the dune ecosystem.
