Land abandonment and changes in snow cover period accelerate range expansions of sika deer

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Ongoing climate change and land‐use change have the potential to substantially alter the distribution of large herbivores. This may result in drastic changes in ecosystems by changing plant–herbivore interactions.

Genetic diversity and demographic history of introduced sika deer on the Delmarva Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The introduction of non‐native species can have long‐term effects on native plant and animal communities. Introduced populations are occasionally not well understood and offer opportunities to evaluate changes in genetic structure through time and major ...

The ungulate pretender: Why the non‐native Sika deer may become Scotland's new Monarch of the Glen

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
High deer densities conflict with carbon sequestration and nature restoration objectives in Scotland, and heavy culling is increasingly common, alongside woodland expansion.
