Habitat use at fine spatial scale: how does patch clustering criteria explain t...
Bellu, Annalisa; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Monteiro-Henriques, Tiago; Costa, José Carlos; Rego, FranciscoLarge mammalian herbivores are keystone species in different ecosystems. To mediate the effects of large mammalian herbivores on ecosystems, it is crucial to understand their habitat selection pattern. At finer scales, herbivore patch selection depends strongly on plant community traits and therefore its understanding is constrained by patch definition criteria. Our aim was to assess which criteria for patch de...
Selection of trees for rubbing by red and roe deer in forest plantations
Ramos, Jaime A.; Bugalho, Miguel N.; Cortez, Paulo; Iason, Glenn R.Antler rubbing is a form of behaviour by which deer may damage and ultimately induce mortality of trees. Understanding factors affecting selection of trees for rubbing may contribute to mitigation of negative effects of such behaviour in plantations or woodlands. We analysed characteristics of trees rubbed by red and roe deer along transects established in plantations of Pinus pinaster (Aiton), Pseudotsuga menz...
