DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00509-4
Abstract: Ungulates have become abundant in many temperate forests, shifting tree species composition by browsing and altering soil physical conditions by trampling. Whether these effects cascade down to other trophic levels and ecosystem processes is poorly… read more here.

Cortisol response of wild ungulates to trauma situations: hunting is not necessarily the worst stressor
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "European Journal of Wildlife Research"
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: 10.11609/jott.8145.15.5.23147-23163
Abstract: Human activities affect wildlife in several ways, ungulates tend to avoid areas of high human use and alter their behavior to avoid human activity. We used remote camera traps to quantify the relative abundance and… read more here.

Spatio-temporal trends in the frequency of interspecific interactions between domestic and wild ungulates from Mediterranean Spain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0211216
Abstract: Controlling infections shared by wildlife and livestock requires the understanding and quantification of interspecific interactions between the species involved. This is particularly important in extensive multi-host systems, in which controlled domestic animals interact with uncontrolled,… read more here.
