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.

Native and Alien Ungulates in North America: Potential for Restoring Herbivore Diversity and Functions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their

White‐tailed Deer Signpost Photoluminescence

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus verginianus) signposts exhibit photoluminescence under crepuscular conditions. The photoluminescence is visible to deer based on previously described deer visual physiology. Here we provide a quantitative description of signpost photoluminescence and discuss our findings relative to previously published criteria for the ...

Seasonal Dietary Patterns of Tarim Red Deer (Cervus hanglu yarkandensis) Revealed by the trnL Sequencing Approach in the Tarim River Basin (Xinjiang, China)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study employed DNA metabarcoding technology to analyze the seasonal dietary habits of Tarim red deer in Xinjiang within a mixed habitat of Populus euphratica and cotton. Results indicate a primary reliance on cotton (38.75%) and European poplar (36.87%). Summer dietary diversity and ecological niche breadth were significantly higher than in winter

Comparative Metabolomics Study Revealed Difference in Central Carbon Metabolism between Sika Deer and Red Deer Antler

International Journal of Genomics, 2020
The antler regeneration has been well studied for the past two decades and adopted in the regenerative medicine model for studying on developmental biology. Despite our growing knowledge of functional molecules regulating antler regeneration, we still do

A vast stem‐progenitor cell pool, richly vascular system, and hybrid ossification drive the daily centimeter‐scale elongation of bony antlers

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.
Bone growth and regeneration remain major clinical challenges. Deer antlers, the fastest‐growing mammalian bone, regenerate via endochondral ossification and elongate up to 2 cm per day, far surpassing the ~2 cm annual growth of human growth plates. Here, we systematically mapped the cellular landscape of the antler growth center (AGC) using single ...

Genetic diversity among Chinese sika deer (Cervus nippon) populations and relationships between Chinese and Japanese sika deer

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2006
Sika deer (Cervus nippon) is a cervid endemic to mainland and insular Asia and endangered. We analyzed variation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region for four subspecies to understand the genetic diversity, population structure and evolutionary history in China.

DNA metabarcoding reveals diet diversity and niche partitioning by two sympatric herbivores in summer [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Food provides essential nutrients and energy necessary for animals to sustain life activities. Accordingly, dietary niche analysis facilitates the exploration of foraging strategies and interspecific relationships among wildlife.
