“…The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to deal with many of the problems in conservation and environmental management has been suggested among others by Milner-Gulland and Mace (1998), Mascia et al (2003), Lawton (2007) and Cooke et al (2009). Current studies on factors affecting big game trends have mostly emphasized the impact of ecological supply variables (Acevedo et al, 2011;Delibes-Mateos et al, 2009;Gortázar et al, 2006;Vargas et al, 2007). However, institutional changes affecting the supply of big game, such as the impact of changes in hunting property rights in hunting grounds, have not normally been considered to explain big game harvests.…”

“…Supply side factors affecting hunting are related to the transformation of agricultural practices, institutional changes, and biological factors. First, the transformation of traditional agriculture and abandonment of marginal agricultural land since the second part of the 20 th century (Cochrane, 1998;Shultz, 1953) in addition to new improved silvicultural practices have produced a change in suitable habitat for game species in most developed countries (Acevedo et al, 2011;Delibes-Mateos et al, 2009;McShea et al, 1997;Virgos, 2002). Secondly, public policies have increased hunting rights and game preservation (Rosser, 2009).…”

Aim of study: Game species are considered a scarce natural resource and therefore they are subject to economic analysis. Current studies on factors affecting big game trends have mostly emphasized the impact of ecological supply variables. This study intends to expand this analysis by considering two important supply and demand economic parameters.Area of study: We use big game hunting in Spain from 1972 until 2007 as a case study since it has an important role in the European hunting activity.Material and methods: Different linear models were fitted to explain big game harvests as a function of two parameters not previously used: hunting grounds areas and big game firearm hunting licenses.Main results: Our main results show that up to 1989 the decrease in the area of open access territories significantly explains the increase in big game harvests, and that afterwards, once the hunting property rights were strengthen in most of the Spanish territory, the number of big game firearm licenses best explain big game harvests increments.Research highlights: This work shows an upward trend in Spanish harvests of big game, which can be attributed in part to (1) a shift to the right of big game demand, measured by an increase in big game firearm licenses, and (2) a change in the nature of big game supply (from a backward to an ordinary upward supply curve) due to the strengthening of hunting property rights of Spanish hunting grounds.

En Andalucía la superficie de los usos del suelo favorables para el conejo ha menguado considerablemente, mientras que, por el contrario, la de aquellos usos desfavorables para la especie han aumentado sustancialmente (Delibes-Mateos et al 2010).…”

“…No obstante, desde finales del siglo pasado las poblaciones de corzo de la mitad centro y norte de España han experimentado una notable expansión, probablemente relacionada con la gestión cinegética de sus poblaciones y la gran capacidad adaptativa que presenta la especie (Mateos-Quesada 2005a, Tellería & Virgós 1997). Además, parecen haberle beneficiado los mismos cambios en los usos de suelo y en las prácticas agroganaderas que han favorecido la expansión de otras especies forestales durante las últi-mas décadas (Delibes-Mateos et al 2009, Acevedo et al 2011.…”

ResumenSe ha muestreado la presencia de corzos en 25 municipios diferentes de las sierras occidentales de Málaga, determinándose la abundancia de las poblaciones (grupos de excrementos/km) y la densidad relativa de las poblaciones (corzo/km 2 ) mediante la aplicación combinada de distance sampling y la conversión de tasas de defecación. Se ha analizado también la relación de la abundancia de corzos con las coberturas vegetales de las áreas estudiadas mediante modelos GLM. Los resultados se presentan por cuencas hidrológicas. Se ha encontrado que la densidad relativa de corzos en Málaga varía entre 0,18 y 2,49 corzo/km 2 . Los valores más altos se detectaron en el río Hozgarganta y en las sierras del valle del Genal. La menor densidad relativa se obtuvo en las sierras de la cuenca del río Guadalhorce. La abundancia de corzos está positivamente relacionada con la distancia a las poblaciones de origen de las sierras de Cádiz, con la cobertura de bosques mixtos de quercíneas y coníferas y con las formaciones de castaños. La abundancia se relaciona negativamente con el uso urbano, los usos agrícolas y el arbolado denso de coníferas. Los resultados obtenidos concuerdan con la hipótesis de que el corzo está en expansión en las sierras de Málaga. Palabras clave: Andalucía, corzo, densidad, expansión, IKA. AbstractWe have monitored the presence of roe deer in 25 municipalities in the occidental mountians of Málaga. We estimated roe deer abundance (pellet groups counts/km) and relative density (deer/km 2 ) by means of distance sampling and defecation rate conversion. We also analyzed the relationships between roe deer abundance and habitat vegetation and coverages by means of GLM models. Results are presented by hidrological basins. We found that roe deer relative density varied between 0.18 to 2.49 deer/km 2 . The highest values were found in the Hozgarganta river and the Genal river valley. The lowest was in the mountains around the Guadalhorce river basin. Roe deer abundance was positively related to the vicinity of roe deer population in the Cádiz mountains and to the coverage of mixed forests of oaks, pines and chestnuts. Roe deer abundance was negatively related to urban landuses, farmlands and dense pine forests. Our results are coherent with the hyphotesis of an expanding roe deer population in the Málaga mountains.
