How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Homosexual behaviour in animals : an evolutionary perspective (2006, background): “Such ‘groundrutting’ (Heymer, 1977) is, for example, observed in red deer (Bartoš unpublished), North American elk (Geist, 1991) and sambar (Geist, 1998).”
Phylogeography of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Europe (2009, background): “This range of behaviours may have enabled red deer to benefit from the landscape changes brought about by glaciations, deglaciations, megafaunal extinctions and, in recent times, human disturbance (Geist, 1999; Lister, 2004).”
Quaternary history of the European roe deer Capreolus capreolus (2009, background): “The genetic differences between northern and southern Iberian roe deer are also reflected by morphological differences in skull shape, which are probably adaptations to different kinds of food (Aragón et al., 1998), and coat pattern (Geist, 1998).”
Patterns of diet and body mass of large ungulates from the Pleistocene of Western Europe, and their relation to vegetation (2016, background): “Rangifer tarandus tends to be an open-landscape browser (Geist, 1998), and this is well recorded by the low mesowear values but high environmental NAP for this species in our data.”
Linking Top-Down Forces to the Pleistocene Megafaunal Extinctions (2010, background): “We argue that humans were able to do this because they entered a system in which many large herbivores were already predator limited (Geist 1998, Kay 1998).”
