DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3553
Abstract: Abstract The major climatic oscillations that characterized the Quaternary had a great influence on the evolution and distribution of several species. During cold periods, the distribution of temperate‐adapted species became fragmented with many surviving in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5512
Abstract: Abstract Seed dispersal by mammals provides functional connectivity between isolated plant habitat patches. Across much of Europe, red deer (Cervus elaphus) populations are growing steadily, potentially leading to increasing importance of this large mammal species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7617
Abstract: Abstract Heterogeneity in resource availability and quality can trigger spatial patterns in the expression of sexually selected traits such as body mass and weaponry. While relationships between habitat features and phenotypic quality are well established… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9048
Abstract: Abstract The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) assumes that herbivores cope with the trade‐off between digestibility and biomass in forage by selecting vegetation at intermediate growth. The green wave hypothesis (GWH) extends the FMH to suggest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1169-y
Abstract: Human outdoor activities commonly affect animal behaviour. Ungulates often avoid roads and trails and increase their avoidance with expanding and intensifying human recreational activity. Recently, mountain biking has become increasingly popular in many regions in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-020-01248-8
Abstract: Red deer (Cervus elaphus) throughout central Europe are influenced by different anthropogenic activities including habitat fragmentation, selective hunting and translocations. This has substantial impacts on genetic diversity and the long-term conservation of local populations of… read more here.
