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).”
Deconstructing myths on large gulls and their impact on threatened sympatric waterbirds (2007, background): “Because wild animals do not observe administrative boundaries, adjusting their management to sociopolitical realities can represent a challenge for conservation agencies (see also Gordon, Hester & Festa-Bianchet, 2004 ).”
Monitoring Population Size of Red Deer Cervus Elaphus: An Evaluation of Two Types of Census Data from Norway (2007, background): “Current management problems range from those related to traffic accidents (Mysterud 2004) and damage to crops and forestry, to more general biodiversity issues related to overgrazing ( Gordon et al. 2004, Mysterud 2006).”
Elephant spatial use in wet and dry savannas of southern Africa (2009, background): “However, the link between herbivore numbers and the impact they have on other species is not simple ( Gordon, Hester & Festa-Bianchet, 2004; for an elephant-related discussion see van Aarde, Jackson & Ferreira, 2006; and van Aarde & Jackson, 2007).”
The role of herbivores in Great Plains conservation: comparative ecology of bison and cattle (2011, background): “The social organization of ungulates, particularly age and sex ratios, also contribute to ecosystem functioning, complexity, and conservation (Sheldon and West 2004, Gordon et al. 2004, Milner et al. 2007).”
Megaparks for metapopulations: Addressing the causes of locally high elephant numbers in southern Africa (2007, background): “Selective culling targeting bulls or animals of certain age classes also may distort age structures and enhance, rather than suppress growth rates (see Gordon et al., 2004 ) and so negate the intention of culling.”
Restoring forest herb communities through landscape-level deer herd reductions: Is recovery limited by legacy effects? (2010, background): “Consequently, long-term experiments across broad spatial scales that incorporate heterogeneity in site-specific features are required to examine understory plant persistence and recovery in response to deer reductions across the landscape (Côte et al., 2004; Gordon et al., 2004).”
To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “Large ungulates are keystone species in many ecosystems and are a highly valued natural resource for social, cultural, and economic reasons (Gordon et al. 2004).”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “A novel approach to these problems is exemplified by the creation of ‘zakazniks’ (reserves which limit hunting and disturbance), which follow the annual migration of saiga antelope Saiga tatarica, rather than being limited to particular sites (Gordon et al. 2004).”
Ecosystem and competition impacts of introduced deer (2008, unknown): “This condition is likely to be met, because density-dependent food and habitat limitation are commonly observed even in harvested deer populations (Putman et al. 1996; Gaillard et al. 2000; Gordon et al. 2004).”
Effects of hunting on wild boar Sus scrofa behaviour (2013, background): “From a management perspective there is often a conflict of interest between stakeholders wanting to maintain a high population density of game species and stakeholders interested in minimising crop damage (Conover 1997, Brown et al. 2000, Riley et al. 2002, Gordon et al. 2004, Lischka et al. 2008).”
