Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Spatial and Temporal Relationships Between Roe and Red Deer in an Alpine Area
Ecology and EvolutionInterspecific interactions are important drivers of population dynamics and species distribution. These relationships can increase niche partitioning between sympatric species, which can differentiate space and time use or modify their feeding strategies.

Characterization of Megatrypanum trypanosomes from European Cervidae [PDF]
, 2017 Megatrypanum trypanosomes have been isolated from a number of different European Cervidae, but on the basis of morphology it has not been possible to define the species to which these isolates belong.

What next? Rewilding as a radical future for the British countryside [PDF]
, 2015 Rewilding is an optimistic environmental agenda to reverse the loss of biodiversity and reconnect society with nature. This chapter explores Britain’s ecological history, back to the Last Interglacial before the arrival of modern humans, when the climate

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Comparative characteristics of metatarsal bones (Ossa metatarsi) and finger articles (Ossa digitorum pedis seu phalanges digitorum) of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and sheep (Ovis aries) in orderto determine animal species [PDF]
Veterinarski Glasnik, 2016 Metatarsal bones and finger articles of roe deer and sheep are rarely used for animal identification. In practice there are frequent cases where on a corpse the head and distal parts of the limbs are missing.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Comparative characteristics of metacarpal bones (Ossa metacarpi) and finger articles (Ossa digitorum pedis seu phalanges digitorum) of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and sheep (Ovis aries) in order to determine animal species [PDF]
Veterinarski Glasnik, 2016 The method of determining which animal species the bones, on the basis of morphological characteristics, belong to, is one of the most commonly used in forensic cases (poaching, fraud, theft, counterfeiting of food of animal origin).For ...

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.
