    Keywords : ungulates; landscape of fear; behavioural response; predation risk; playback experiment; ABR; management strategies;

    Abstract : Increasing ungulate densities all over Europe are intensifying the ongoing human-wildlife conflict, embodied by mainly economical losses through damages in forestry and agriculture. Given the current circumstances, farmers and forest owners prefer a decrease in ungulate numbers through direct population control, whereas other stakeholders, such as hunters, wildlife watchers or photographers, prefer higher wildlife numbers.
