• Ecological Impacts of Deer Overabundance (2004, background): “Tree planting after logging and early successional forested landscapes provide abundant, high-quality food that increases deer habitat carrying capacity (Bobek et al. 1984, Fuller & Gill 2001, Sinclair 1997).”
• Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “The trend towards increasing large herbivore densities is being observed across Europe (e.g. Fuller & Gill 2001; Ward 2005; Milner et al. 2006; Bláha & Kotecký 2008).”
• The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK (2006, background): “Increasing wild and feral deer, however, are considered a major problem, especially for ancient woodlands (Fuller & Gill 2001).”
• Intensive game keeping, coppicing and butterflies: The story of Milovicky Wood, Czech Republic (2006, background): “Therefore, butterflies may be affected both positively or negatively, depending on the situation (Feber et al., 2001; Fuller and Gill, 2001).”
• Restoring forest herb communities through landscape-level deer herd reductions: Is recovery limited by legacy effects? (2010, background): “High densities of native and exotic deer populations have caused extensive changes in understory plant communities throughout forested regions worldwide (Fuller and Gill, 2001; Vázquez, 2002; Husheer et al., 2003; Côte et al., 2004).”
• Steering the impacts of ungulates on temperate forests (2003, background): “Ungulates can have both damaging and beneficial impacts on forests (Putman 1986, 1996; Reimoser 1986; Fuller & Gill 2001), but an objective assessment of these impacts is difficult.”
• Does closure of traditionally managed open woodlands threaten epigeic invertebrates? Effects of coppicing and high deer densities (2008, background): “Another little studied aspect of the conservation management of European lowland woods is the increasing density of wild ungulates (Fuller and Gill, 2001; Cote et al., 2004).”
• Big game or big loss? High deer densities are threatening woody plant diversity and vegetation dynamics (2014, background): “In most developed countries, the economic and environmental impact of hunting has increased considerably during the last decades (San Miguel et al. 1999; Fuller and Gill 2001; Gordon et al. 2004; Dı́az et al. 2008; Martı́nez-Jáuregui et al. 2011).”
• To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “Much research effort has focused on the negative impacts on biodiversity and species richness of sustained heavy grazing and browsing (Fuller and Gill 2001, Côté et al. 2004, Foster et al. 2014) without considering the potential balancing effects of nutrient input due to feeding (Mathisen and…”
