Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

If you leave it, you lose it: Managing human–wildlife feeding interactions requires constant attention, interdisciplinary approaches and long‐term monitoring

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 666-681, March 2026.
Abstract Human–wildlife interactions are becoming more common as we progress through the Anthropocene. People tend to feed wildlife more regularly as it is often popularised by social media and can counteract their disconnect from the natural world. These interactions impact wildlife behaviour, feeding ecology and zoonotic transmission dynamics. Due to

Development of Diagnostic SNP Markers To Monitor Hybridization Between Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) and Wapiti (Cervus elaphus)

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Sika deer (Cervus Nippon) and wapiti (Cervus elaphus) are closely related species and their hybridization can result in significant allele-shift of their gene pool.

Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) Field Sign Monitoring for 40 Years (1976–2015) in Northern Hokkaido, Japan, During a Wildlife Management Policy Shift

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Long‐term (1976–2015) field sign monitoring of brown bears in northern Hokkaido, Japan, yielded 2421 records (feeding signs, tracks, scats) along 9890 km of survey routes. The digitized spatiotemporal dataset provides insights into population dynamics, habitat use, and feeding behavior across a major wildlife management policy shift.

The Effectiveness of Postharvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat—A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Reducing data processing effort in camera trap density estimation: Extending the REST model by explicitly modelling animal detection processes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 850-862, March 2026.
Abstract Accurate and reliable estimation of wildlife population density is fundamental to effective conservation and management. While camera traps show potential for monitoring ground‐dwelling mammal densities, labour‐intensive data processing remains a significant constraint. Ideally, conservation efforts would benefit from the continuous monitoring

Impact of interspecific relations between native red deer (Cervus elaphus) and introduced sika deer (Cervus nippon) on their rutting season in the Doupovské hory Mts.

Journal of Forest Science, 2014
The behaviour of sika and red deer during the rutting season is highly variable in relation to vocalization, habitat preference during the rut, and onset and termination of rutting.

Adaptive Risk Management of Sika Deer

, 2021
We consider here a management policy for a sika deer (Cervus nippon) population on Hokkaido Island and Yakushima Island. Deer populations are characterized by a large intrinsic rate of population increase, no significant density effects on population growth before population crash, and a relatively simple life history.
