The diet strategy of the wolf in Europe is reviewed on the basis of 74 basic and 14 additional
literature sources. The comparative analysis reveals clear dependence on the latitude (and …

In large mammalian herbivores, the increase of group size with habitat openness was first
assumed to be an adaptive response, encoded in the individual. However, it could …

Mountain goats have been among the least studied of North American ungulates, leaving
wildlife managers with little information on which to base harvest strategies or conservation …

Landscape structure and human activity influence the distribution and abundance of
species. Landscape modifications have resulted in loss of habitat, increased isolation …

Predation by wolves Canis lupus on roe deer Capreolus capreolus was studied by scat
analysis in five areas of the Province of Arezzo, north-eastern Tuscany, Italy. In the intensive …

Aim This paper describes the dispersal process of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus Linnaeus,
1758) with respect to climatic factors, landscape characteristics and human activity. We …

We assessed social, spatial (using grids of 100× 100, 200× 200 and 500× 500m) and habitat
(vegetation) segregation between sex and age classes in two Alpine ibex populations (Sous …

The ability of a species to exhibit behavioural plasticity to environmental conditions has
consequences for its success in fragmented landscapes. The roe deer, Capreolus capreolus …

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology,
including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology …

In large mammalian herbivores, herd size usually increases with openness of the
environment, but the proximate mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon remain poorly …
