Landscape distribution and habitat use of sika deer using indirect signs of deer activity: a simple tool for forest managers

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

Ovis aries, the domestic sheep

open access: yes, 2008
Sheep, wild as well as domestic, are medium-sized bovids, and are thus even-toed ruminants with horns in both sexes. The majority of sheep sculptures represent domestic sheep. Wild sheep seem to figure only in Indus Valley sculptures (c. 2,600-1,700 B.C.E.) and in narrative reliefs, such as those illustrating the Miracle of Sravasti from Greater ...

Adaptive harvesting of two trophic levels stabilises predator–prey dynamics. Simulations with Eurasian lynx and European roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Europe has seen the recovery of many species of wild herbivores, which are now widespread across much of the continent. In addition, large carnivores are also recolonising many European countries. Most ungulates are managed through hunting, but natural predation can also have a significant influence in many areas.

Selectivity and efficiency of predator control methods: a case study from a Mediterranean hunting ground

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Fine‐scale spatio‐temporal niche partitioning enables coexistence of wild ungulates and livestock in a resource‐limited Himalayan landscape, India

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how wild ungulates share space with domestic livestock is central to conservation planning in Himalayan multi‐use landscapes. This study focuses on multi‐axis niche relationships among six wild ungulates: hangul Cervus hanglu hanglu, Kashmir musk deer Moschus cupreus, Himalayan goral Naemorhedus goral, kashmir markhor Capra falconeri ...

Effects of Roscovitine and Serum Starvation on the Viability and G0/G1 Synchronization in Somatic Cells from the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758)

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of nuclear reprogramming techniques, including the G0/G1 synchronization of somatic cells, depends on species‐specific optimization. While roscovitine and serum starvation have been successfully applied in domestic and wild terrestrial mammals, their use in aquatic mammals remains poorly investigated.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
