  1. 1. Wild boar and roe deer in conflict? : an analysis of interspecific interactions under different wild boar densities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Nina Eileen Long; [2023]
    Keywords : feeding displacement; generalized additive models; interference competition; wild boar; roe deer;

    Abstract : Roe deer and wild boar are both highly successful species of cervid found across much of Europe, and while similarities exist between them, to what extent do wild boar impact the daily activity pattern of roe deer at feeding sites? While a few studies explore interspecific interactions between ungulate species in Sweden, only a little research has been done on how wild boar and roe deer interact. This study aims to minimize the gap in knowledge surrounding these two species and the way they interact. READ MORE
