DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8626
Abstract: Abstract In the early 1800s, the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) was probably extirpated from Switzerland, due to overhunting and deforestation. After a federal law was enacted in 1875 to protect lactating females and young,… read more here.

Evidence for a male‐biased sex ratio in the offspring of a large herbivore: The role of environmental conditions in the sex ratio variation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8938
Abstract: Abstract Numerous studies have examined whether the primary and/or secondary sex ratio in mammals, including humans, deviates from an equilibrium of 1:1. Although effect size in the sex ratio variation is expected to be low,… read more here.

Movement responses of roe deer to hunting risk

DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21576
Abstract: Large herbivores respond to fluctuations in predation and hunting risk. The temporal scale of risk heterogeneity affects behavioral responses and determines the usefulness of metrics to quantify them.We present a conceptual framework to link anti-predator… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00217-020-03468-1
Abstract: Meat originating from roe, deer and especially chamois is expensive. Normally, such delicacies are provided directly by hunters and exclusively during the hunting season. In some cases, either to achieve higher profit or to enable… read more here.

Reliable molecular differentiation of Trichuris ovis and Trichuris discolor from sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and morphological characterisation of their females: morphology does not work sufficiently

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-017-5524-9
Abstract: The main aim of the study was to evaluate associations between morphological variability of Trichuris females from sheep and roe deer and their rDNA polymorphism in whipworm populations from the Czech Republic. The results introduced… read more here.

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Variation in the stress response among personalities and populations in a large wild herbivore

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4174-7
Abstract: Faced with rapid environmental changes, individuals may express different magnitude and plasticity in their response to a given stressor. However, little is known about the causes of variation in phenotypic plasticity of the stress response… read more here.

Food competition between a large ruminant and a small hindgut fermentor: the case of the roe deer and mountain hare

DOI: 10.1007/s004420100683
Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate that the mountain hare and roe deer compete with each other. This was determined using "natural experiments" of populations found in sympatry and allopatry on the islands along the west… read more here.

Cortisol response of wild ungulates to trauma situations: hunting is not necessarily the worst stressor

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1171-4
Abstract: Animal welfare concerns are becoming a central issue in wildlife management and conservation. Thus, we investigated stress response of wild ungulates to potentially traumatic situations (shooting injuries, vehicle collisions, entanglement, injuries or diseases) and hunting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-021-01506-1
Abstract: Reduction of floristic diversity may trigger local competition between native wildlife, particularly ungulates, and livestock. In this study, we analysed spatial and temporal niche partitioning between the vulnerable, endemic Italian roe deer Capreolus capreolus italicus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-018-0354-4
Abstract: Livestock farming is a common human activity that not only modifies natural habitat but also may lead to interactions with other wild animal species. We studied whether health status of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is… read more here.
