“…by the relative palatability of surrounding species (Gill 1992a), so part of the explanation as to why the pines were avoided could be the presence of two species of higher palatability. It has been shown that roe deer can avoid less preferred food plants based on olfactory‐ and perhaps visual cues, without even tasting the plant (Tixier et al 1998). Attractiveness of Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) seedlings to roe deer increased with the darkness of their green colour (Bergquist and Örlander 1998) which is perhaps an indicator of their nitrogen content.…”

2005. Feeding patterns by roe deer and rabbits on pine, willow and birch in relation to spatial arrangement. Á/ Oikos 109: 513 Á/520.The location of a plant and its association with the surrounding vegetation may be a strong determinant of herbivore foraging decisions. The attractiveness of a food plant may be reduced if associated with a less preferred one (repellent Á/plant hypothesis) or, conversely, it may escape herbivory via association with a more preferred species (attractant Á/decoy hypothesis). In this study we tested the hypothesis that selection of the same food plants by two herbivore species with different body mass, i.e. roe deer and rabbits, is affected by the spatial disposition of preferred plants in relation to less preferred ones. We planted willows, birches and pines, representing food species of higher, intermediate and lower preference, respectively, in different spatial arrangements, to manipulate patch quality and accessibility to herbivores. Contrasting patches were constructed by planting willows or pines in the midst of birches and single-species arrays of all three species, in a blocked design, replicated six times in an area occupied by both roe deer and rabbits. Preference patterns were studied by recording browsing on current years' shoots and older plant parts. Across all trees in the experiment, we confirmed that roe deer clearly preferred willow over birch, pine was not browsed at all. There was greater herbivory by roe deer on birches occurring peripherally in an array, when the associated central species was willow or pine, as compared to birches in a single-species birch patch. Therefore food choices by roe deer appear to be determined by both patch and individual level selection. The rabbits only showed preference at a species level and did not respond to spatial arrangement of trees. The results from this study indicate that the location and association of trees can strongly affect foraging patterns of roe deer, but not in a manner wholly consistent with the repellent Á/plant or the attractant Á/decoy hypotheses.

“…When using hand‐reared deer to study issues of physiology or nutrition, no biases are usually expected (Holand, 1994; Spalinger et al , 1997; Tixier et al , 1998; Dehnhard et al , 2001; Lambert, 2002). However, despite the obvious benefits of working with hand‐reared Roe deer, several potential biases should be taken into consideration.…”

Four ♀ Roe deer Capreolus capreolus were hand‐reared and released into a 10 ha enclosed natural habitat. This paper describes the hand‐rearing procedure, nutrition and development, which we compare with other documented cases. We illustrate the handling techniques that enabled us to maintain a close relationship with the hand‐reared Roe deer in their adulthood and study them under semi‐free‐ranging conditions. The benefits of conducting research with hand‐reared Roe deer are described, together with possible biases that must be taken into consideration when planning a research programme. The Roe deer were hand‐reared in order to conduct a detailed feasibility study for the Roe deer reintroduction programme in Israel, where they have been locally extinct for 100 years.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic research about Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus), and to establish a conservation area into Seoraksan(Mt.) National Park, South Korea.We recorded Siberian roe deer field signs (bedding sites, feeding areas, feces and tracks etc), and habitat variables such as nearest distance to the watercourse, trails, slope, aspect, forest type and 2 (32% of the total area) followed by 244.3km 2 buffer area (62.2% of the total area), and 22.9km 2 unsuitable habitat area (5.8% of the total area), which means environmentally unsuitable habitat for Siberian roe deer was rare in Seoraksan(Mt.) National Park. Thus, the area
