Big game or big loss? High deer densities are threatening woody plant diversity and vegetation dynamics (2014, background): “societies (Hrubes et al. 2001; Gordon et al. 2004; Milner et al. 2006), who are willing to pay large sums of money.”
Phylogeography of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Europe (2009, background): “The most important and widely distributed game species in Europe today is arguably the red deer, Cervus elaphus L. 1758 (Milner et al., 2006).”
Still walking on the wild side? Management actions as steps towards 'semi-domestication' of hunted ungulates (2010, background): “in Scandinavia, often up to two-thirds of the harvest are either calves or yearlings (Milner et al. 2006), and there is a reluctance to shoot females with offspring (Ericsson 2001).”
Goat grazing, its interactions with other herbivores and biodiversity conservation issues (2012, background): “, 2009) and red deer numbers have also grown t an exponential scale (Milner et al., 2006).”
Selective harvesting of large mammals: how often does it result in directional selection? (2011, background): “harvest statistics across 11 European countries (Milner et al. 2006), the proportion of calves in the harvest varied from 10% to 40%, while males typically accounted for 40–60% of the remainder, i.”
Past, present and future of wild ungulates in relation to changes in land use (2010, background): “Useful data on game species are available from hunting records, and thus species population trends can be monitored in the long-term (e.g. Milner et al. 2006).”
Monitoring Population Size of Red Deer Cervus Elaphus: An Evaluation of Two Types of Census Data from Norway (2007, background): “In Norway, harvest of red deer Cervus elaphus has increased from 2,484 in 1965 to 26,130 in 2004 (Statistics Norway 2004, see Milner et al. 2006).”
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).”
Meat from wild ungulates: ensuring quality and hygiene of an increasing resource (2010, background): “As a consequence, harvest of ungulate species has shown a general increase (Monaco et al., 2003; Milner et al., 2006; Carnevali et al., 2009), with a consequent increase of wild animal meat consumption.”
