The feed preference of roe deer in different habitats [PDF]

, 2023
The roe deer, widely distributed across Europe and our homeland, has a significant economic and hunting value. Our research aims to understand the diet and food choice of deer in the lowland (Great Hungarian Plain, Hódmezővásárhely) and mid-mountain ...

Overwintering foraging tactics of sedentary sika deer in a region prone to heavy snow in northern Japan

Ecological Research, EarlyView.
We present the overwintering foraging tactics adopted by the sika deer recently established in a heavy snowfall region of northern Japan. We found that sedentary deer adopted risk‐averse foraging by switching their dietary compositions to readily available foods under different snow conditions. In particular, when facing extreme snowfall, they depended

Same habitat types but different use: evidence of context-dependent habitat selection in roe deer across populations

Scientific Reports, 2018
With the surge of GPS-technology, many studies uncovered space use of mobile animals and shed light on the underlying behavioral mechanisms of habitat selection.

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Hair Testosterone and Cortisol Concentrations in Pre- and Post-Rut Roe Deer Bucks: Correlations with Blood Levels and Testicular Morphometric Parameters

Animals, 2018
Simple Summary The roe deer is a very common wild species in Italy and shows peculiar reproductive characteristics. Sexually-mature males, called bucks, show a complete interruption in spermatogenesis during the cold seasons.

Beyond climate envelope projections : roe deer survival and environmental change. [PDF]

, 2016
Research on climate change impacts has focused on projecting changes in the geographic ranges of species, with less emphasis on the vital rates giving rise to species distributions.

Improving the integration of artificial intelligence into existing ecological inference workflows

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised the process of identifying species and individuals in audio recordings and camera trap images. However, despite developments in sensor technology, machine learning and statistical methods, a general AI‐assisted data‐to‐inference pipeline has yet to emerge. We argue that this is, in part, due to a

A Unified Framework of Constrained Regression [PDF]

, 2014
Generalized additive models (GAMs) play an important role in modeling and understanding complex relationships in modern applied statistics. They allow for flexible, data-driven estimation of covariate effects.

Cascading Effects of Anthropogenic Excess Food for Predators on a Peri‐Urban Population of an Endangered Ungulate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Cascading effects of anthropogenic excess food for predators on a peri‐urban population of an endangered ungulate (Gazella gazella). ABSTRACT A major side effect of urbanization is the increased availability of food for wildlife in peri‐urban areas.

Coexisting with large carnivores based on the Volterra principle

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores represents one of the world's highest profile conservation challenges. Ecologists have identified ecological benefits derived from large carnivores (and large herbivores), yet livestock depredation, perceived competition for shared game, risks to pets and humans, and social conflicts often lead to demands for ...
