“…Red deer preferred habitats with abundant vegetation coverage to open habitats in winter. Our finding is consistent with Mingming Zhang [ 32 ]. On the other hand, there were not predators in the reserve.…”

Single-scale frameworks are often used to analyze the habitat selections of species. Research on habitat selection can be significantly improved using multi-scale models that enable greater in-depth analyses of the scale dependence between species and specific environmental factors. In this study, the winter habitat selection of red deer in the Gogostaihanwula Nature Reserve, Inner Mongolia, was studied using a multi-scale model. Each selected covariate was included in multi-scale models at their “characteristic scale”, and we used an all subsets approach and model selection framework to assess habitat selection. The results showed that: (1) Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the response scale of red deer to environmental factors was different among different covariate. The optimal scale of the single covariate was 800–3200 m, slope (SLP), altitude (ELE), and ratio of deciduous broad-leaved forests were 800 m in large scale, except that the farmland ratio was 200 m in fine scale. The optimal scale of road density and grassland ratio is both 1600 m, and the optimal scale of net forest production capacity is 3200 m; (2) distance to forest edges, distance to cement roads, distance to villages, altitude, distance to all road, and slope of the region were the most important factors affecting winter habitat selection. The outcomes of this study indicate that future studies on the effectiveness of habitat selections will benefit from multi-scale models. In addition to increasing interpretive and predictive capabilities, multi-scale habitat selection models enhance our understanding of how species respond to their environments and contribute to the formulation of effective conservation and management strategies for ungulata.

“…Other elm species are also part of red deer preferred diet. For instance, Ulmus pumila L. is an important component of the winter diet of the Alashan red deer Cervus elaphus alxaicus Bobrinskii et Flerov in the Helan Mountains in North-Central China (Cui et al 2007;Zhang et al 2013). In addition to that, whitetailed deer Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann was observed eating the bark of the slippery elm U. rubra Muhl in West Virginia (Michael 1987).…”

Обгладывание коры благородным оленем оказывает значительное влияние на состояние лесных экосистем по всему ареалу этого вида копытных. На всем протяжении своего ареала благородные олени употребляют в пищу кору более чем 20 видов деревьев, часто нанося значительный ущерб лесному хозяйству. На юге Дальнего Востока России изюбрь в осенне-весенний период питается корой ильмов Ulmus sp. Однако в научных работах, посвященных экологии изюбря, отсутствуют количественные оценки изъятия коры ильмов этим оленем. В нашей статье впервые приведены количественные данные по влиянию такого пищевого поведения оленей на древостой лесов Приморского края. Изюбрями в основном повреждается подрост и молодые деревья с диаметрами на высоте груди 0,5-7,4 см (m = 3,75 ± 0,069, n = 249) возрастом до 40 лет. Площадь повреждения коры подроста ильма лопастного составила 0,01-0,45 м 2 (m = 0,11 ± 0,096 м 2 , n =2 49). С крупных деревьев изюбри при этом съедали больше коры по площади в среднем при пересчете на одно дерево.

“…Values range from 0 (no influence) to 100 (maximum influence). We obtained the coupled evapotranspiration and gross primary production (hereafter referred to as primary production) from the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center (Zhang et al, 2013, 2019; Gan et al, 2018), and we generated Euclidean distances from cameras to the nearest water line (rivers, streams, brooks, rills and runnels). All 24 variables were projected to the WGS84 datum and were at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds or resampled at this pixel size, equivalent to c. 1 km 2 .…”

Extensive cattle ranging is an important economic activity in mountains, with diverse effects on native mammal communities. The effects of cattle Bos taurus can be negative, positive or neutral, mostly depending on the stocking rate. We examined the effect of cattle on the diversity and abundance of native mammalian species in the Austral Yungas region of Argentina, considering environmental variables, land protection status, and human influence. Using 12,512 trap-nights from 167 camera-trap stations over 11 years (2009–2019), we calculated a relative abundance index using camera events and used generalized linear models to estimate the effect of cattle on small mammals, large herbivores, species of conservation concern and felids. Cattle had different effects on each group of native mammals. We observed a lower abundance of large native herbivores and the absence of small mammals in areas with high cattle abundance. The tapir Tapirus terrestris, jaguar Panthera onca and white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari are rare in the Yungas and therefore potentially vulnerable to extinction there. Conservation of small felids and low cattle abundance could be compatible, but felids are threatened by other anthropogenic influences. Native mammalian diversity and richness were related to land protection status. The entire ecoregion is potentially suitable for cattle, suggesting the potential for further threats, and that cattle should be excluded from strictly protected areas. To ensure extensive cattle ranging is compatible with wildlife conservation in areas where exclusion is not possible, we recommend improved management of cattle and moderate stocking rates.
