“…It has been also reported that the sika deer has been released into the wild by religious events, and about 50 to 100 individuals are known to inhabit Mt. Songni near Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do [ 6 , 48 ]. There have also been reports of some deer escaping farmland or being illegally released by farmers in Korea [ 49 ].…”

The leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), an endangered species in South Korea, is a small feline widely distributed in Asia. Here, we investigated the diet of leopard cats in the inland areas of Korea by examining their fecal contents using vertebrate mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene sequencing and shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing revealed that the feces were rich in DNA not only of vertebrates but also of arthropods and plants, but care should be taken when using shotgun metagenomic sequencing to identify vertebrates at low taxonomic levels (e.g., genus level), as it was often erroneous. Meanwhile, vertebrate mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene sequencing was found to be accurate in the genus-level identification, as the genera identified were consistent with the Korean fauna. We found that small mammals such as murids were their main prey. By using these two sequencing methods in combination, this study demonstrated that accurate information about the overall dietary content and vertebrate prey of leopard cats could be obtained. We expect that the continued community efforts to expand the genome database of wildlife, including vertebrates, will alleviate the problem of erroneous identification of prey at low taxonomic levels by shotgun metagenomic sequencing in the near future.

“…The literature shows that male home ranges are more extensive than female ones [ 2 , 81 , 87 , 94 , 100 , 102 ]. The average UD of deer varies from 236.99 ± 69 ha (COV: 110.45, range: 3.3–819.0 ha) using the MCP and 1183.96 ± 638 ha (COV: 142.55, range: 39.7–3637 ha) using the KD approach.…”

“…However, as the home range of the deer is reported to be 2.77 km 2 (Kim and Lee, 2011), as they move around, they can allow long-distance seed dispersal for the few seeds able to germinate. The deer inhabit the Korean peninsula with a growing population (Kim et al, 2016; National Institute of Biological Resources, 2018). Lee and Lee (2020) showed that, on average, eight seeds germinated per 100-g dung (with an average dung mass of 6.3 g).…”

“…The Korean water deer ( Hydropotes inermis argyropus ) is listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (Harris and Duckworth, 2015). In South Korea, habitat fragmentation threatens its habitat, and human–wildlife conflicts occur due to crop damage and road kills (Kim et al, 2016). Most of its distribution range is limited to the Korean peninsula, and its population is decreasing globally.…”

Large herbivores can disperse seeds over long distances through endozoochory. The Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus), an internationally vulnerable species but locally considered a vermin, is a potential endozoochorous seed dispersal vector. In this study, feeding experiments were conducted to test the efficiency of seed dispersal through gut ingestion by the Korean water deer, its temporal pattern and the effect of gut passage on seed recovery and germination rate. Eight plant species, including species that formerly germinated from its faeces, were used to feed three Korean water deer. Once the deer had consumed all the provided seeds, their faeces were collected after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The collected faeces were air-dried, and the number of seeds retrieved from the faeces was counted every 24 h (0–24, 24–48, 48–72 and 72–96 h). Among the eight plant species, six species were retrieved with intact seeds. Panicum bisulcatum had the highest recovery rate of 33.7%, followed by Amaranthus mangostanus (24.5%) and Chenopodium album (14.4%). Most of the seeds were recovered within the 24–48 h time interval. Germination tests were conducted on the ingested and uningested seeds for the four species which had a sufficient recovery rate. The effects of gut passage on seed germination differed according to plant species. The germination rate substantially decreased after gut passage. The results suggest that the Korean water deer can disperse seeds, potentially over long distances albeit at a high cost of low seed recovery and germination rate.
