  1. 1. Sharing space with a larger relative : examining interspecific effects of fallow deer on roe deer performance

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : John-Christophe Hessler Frelinckx; [2023]
    Keywords : roe deer; fallow deer; interspecific competition; population densities;

    Abstract : Interspecific competition of some form is a part of life for most species across the world. For some species it can be part of their evolutionary history over many thousands of years, while for others it is a more recent experience, as is the case of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and fallow deer (Dama dama), in Scandinavia.

  3. 2. Tick-borne diseases in roe deer - seroprevalence, possible cut-off and effects on health

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Matilda Friberg Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Anaplasma phagocytophilum; Borrelia burgdorferi s.l; tick-borne encephalitis virus; roe deer; Capreolus capreolus; tick-borne pathogens;

    Abstract : Understanding the interaction between roe deer and pathogens could potentially help us improve the health in both roe deer and humans. Here, I focused on broadening our basic understanding about three specific tick-borne pathogens, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. READ MORE

  4. 3. Förekomst av rådjur och dovhjort i förhållande till varandra : möjliga effekter av födokonkurrens

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Olof Skoglund; Axel Lomander; [2022]
    Keywords : dovhjort; rådjur; avskjutning; konkurrens; föda;

    Abstract : Competition in ecosystems can occur in different ways and it is especially important to understand the competition due to well-functioning game management in order to predict what will happen to the competitive situation if something change in the ecosystem. Competition between herbivores can limit certain ecosystem services or lead to a reduction in the biodiversity. READ MORE

  5. 4. How Hunters’ Harvest Rate Varies in Response to Population Densities of Fallow Deer (Dama dama), Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), and Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Felicia Skorsdal; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian statistics; Capreolus capreolus; Dama dama; Hunters’ harvest rate; Ungulate management; Spatiotemporal analysis; Sus scrofa;

    Abstract : For many species, population size data is difficult to obtain or even unavailable. Therefore, estimations or indirect abundance measures of populations are crucial for ungulate management. Hunting has an important role in wildlife management, and is a partnership between state, landowners, and hunting communities. READ MORE

  6. 5. How do stand composition and cervid densities influence the forest floor vegetation in a multi-cervid species context?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Clémentine Leemans; [2021]
    Keywords : alces; cerus elaphus; dama; capreolus; cervid; vaccinium; myrtillus; pinus sylvestris; picea abies; browsing; forest floor cover;

    Abstract : The cover of forest floor vascular plants has been decreasing in Sweden over recent decades. Cervid rely heavily on this vegetation for food. With this study, I showed that habitat type highly influences the quality and quantity of the forest floor vegetation. READ MORE
