Of the 13 commonly recognized subspecies of sika deer (Cervus nip- pon) in the world, five were originally found in mainland China. Due to hunt- ing and habitat loss and fragmentation, populations of wild sika deer declined to near-extinction. Today there are only three subspecies, C. n. hortulorum, C. n. sichuanicus, and C. n. kopschi, still living in

The Taiwan sika deer (Cervus nippon taiouanus) migrated to the island during land-bridge periods (40,000 to 10,000 years before present), presumably from an adjacent mainland China stock that later became extinct. On Taiwan they were found mainly at low elevation habitats around the island and reached great- est abundance on the large western coastal ...

Effects of PTHrP on chondrocytes of sika deer antler
Cell and Tissue Research, 2013Parathyroid-hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) is an important regulator of chondrocyte differentiation in growth plates but little is known about its role in deer antler cartilage. The aim of the present study was to use the deer antler as a model to determine the possible role of PTHrP in regulating chondrocyte differentiation of deer antler.

Vocalizations in red deer (Cervus elaphus), sika deer (Cervus nippon), and red × sika hybrids
Journal of Zoology, 1998AbstractRutting calls of male and alarm calls of female red deer (Cervus elaphus), sika deer (C. nippon), and their hybrids were recorded from wild and captive‐bred populations. Vocal variations between these species and their hybrids (C. elaphus×C.

Defecation of sika deer, Cervus nippon
Mammal Study, 2008Abstract Defecation time, fecal amount, and water content of feces of sika deer, Cervus nippon, were studied for two deer kept in large-scale enclosures. The deer were observed eight times for 24 hours, and all the feces were collected immediately after defecation. The defecation interval varied considerably with a median of 21 min.

Sika deer and roe deer helminths
2014Most helminth species parasitize both domestic and wild cervids. 7-14 nematode species can parasitize in the digestive tract of ruminant (Šarkūnas, 1996). In assessing Sika deer infection with Fasciola hepatica 19 livers of the Sika deer were examined. The study shows an extensity rate of 100 percent for investigated individuals that were infected with

Sika Deer in Continental Europe
2008In this chapter I review the history of introduction of sika to continental Europe by country and summarize their acclimatization to the local environment. Beginning about 150 years ago sika deer were introduced into most of the countries in western, central, and eastern Europe; northern and southern countries were less affected.

Nonspecific Immunity in Sika Deer
1992We investigated phagocytosis, complement, lysozyme, and immunoglobulins in domesticated sika deer (Cervus nippon) in the south of the Primorye Territory. We determined the physiological status of cellular and humoral links of nonspecific immunity depending on season, age, and sex.

Sika Deer in Korea and Vietnam
2008Sika deer have suffered greatly on the Asian mainland from the close association of their primary habitat to prime agricultural lands and from loss through direct killing and alteration of habitats by humans. Sika deer populations are extinct in the wild in Vietnam and South Korea.

A Study on the Biological Characteristics of Sika Deer
1992In the time that deer farming has been carried out in Britain, there has been limited selective breeding for temperament on farms with established herds. On many farms the deer have been brought straight from the hill in Scotland or from deer parks. It is apparent that despite a lack of prior experience they are adaptive animals and can be handled with
