  1. 1. Variation in neonate roe deer home range size

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Charlotte Öhman; [2017]
    Keywords : home range size; roe deer; Capreolus capreolus; neonate; fawn; roe deer density; fox density; agricultural land; Sweden; movement; body mass;

    Abstract : Home range determinants have been well-studied in many species, as is the case for adult roe deer. However, drivers of neonate roe deer home range size have not been covered in previous research. Earlier studies demonstrate a negative relationship between both increasing food availability and population density on adult roe deer home range size. READ MORE

    University essay from Teoretisk Biologi; Ekologi

    Author : Sara Gudmundson; [2009]
    Keywords : Dispersal; extinction risk; food web; metapopulation; noise; spatial distribution; stability; synchrony.;

    Abstract : Ecological models have problems showing the positive relationship between diversity and stability found in nature. Theory states that complex food webs have high extinction risks and low stability. However, persistent food webs found in nature are large and complex containing many interconnections between species. READ MORE
