A Case of Polydactyly in a Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) From Germany

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Polydactyly is a rare anomaly that has been described in many vertebrate species including several deer species. The case described in this communication is believed to be only the second documented example of additional metatarsae in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus).

Minimal impact of anthropogenic genetic disturbance on the endangered butterfly Luehdorfia japonica (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) within the Kanto Mountains, Japan

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Using genome‐wide SNP analysis, we have elucidated the extent of genetic disturbance in Luehdorfia japonica (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) at Mt. Ishizare in Japan, where butterfly releases have been carried out in the past. While the results showed genetic disturbance had occurred, the proportion of exotic genetic clusters was remarkably low, ranging ...

Fraying by Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) in an Evergreen Broadleaf Forest in Miyajima Island, Hiroshima, Japan [PDF]

, 2016
The fraying by sika deer (Cervus nippon) in an evergreen broadleaf forest in Miyajima Island, Hiroshima, Japan, was studied. The proportion of trees frayed by deer to the total trees sampled (N = 1209) was 8.1%.

Effects of maternal rumen microbiota on the development of the microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tracts of neonatal sika deer

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
This study investigated whether the microbial assemblages in the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) of sika deer calves can be manipulated by maternal rumen microbiota transplantation (MRMT).

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.

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.

Temporal and spatial interactions in sympatric ungulates: Insights from Japanese serow and sika deer.

PLoS ONE
Sympatric species, commonly evolve behavioural mechanisms allowing them to coexist, thereby reducing direct competition for resources. In Japan, since the 1970s, the endemic Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) and the sika deer (Cervus nippon) have been

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.
