Hunting for fear: innovating management of human–wildlife conflicts (2013, background): “Although human hunters, especially in Europe, increasingly hunt calves, the proportion is still relatively low in most countries (20–30%, Milner, Bonenfant & Mysterud 2011) compared with the proportion of calves in the diet of large carnivores such as wolves Canis lupus (Sand et al. 2008).”
To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “However, there are no studies that explicitly examine the effects of feeding on natural selection, the evidence from red deer being circumstantial and likely distorted by selective hunting (Mysterud 2011).”
