“…In this regard, damage caused by overabundant ungulates to plant diversity and vegetation structure, dynamics and composition constitutes a very good example that has been frequently recorded in diverse European regions (e. g. Fuller and Gill 2001;Perea et al 2014). Given that the populations of ungulates have increased notably all over Europe (e. g. Acevedo et al 2011), their damage to crops and natural Redpath et al 2013).…”

“…Indeed, in areas with intensive game management aimed to boost biggame species, red deer can reach densities of over 50 individuals/km² Acevedo et al, 2008), and wild boar densities can even attain 90 individuals/km² (Acevedo et al, 2007;Bosch et al, 2012). However, despite the large increase in the densities of wild boar and deer, little is known about the ecological impacts of the overabundance of these species on Mediterranean ecosystems (but see Carpio et al [2014a;2014b;2014c] for its impacts on other species; Gortázar et al [2006] for diseaserelated constraints; Perea et al [2014] for impacts on vegetation).…”

“…High densities of wild ungulates are known to affect the growth, reproduction and survival of plants, since they consume their stems, flowers, leaves and fruits, thus favouring species that are less frequently consumed (Côté et al, 2004;Mohr et al, 2005;Acevedo et al, 2008;Putman et al, 2011;Cuevas et al, 2012;Perea et al, 2014). Plant species, moreover, closely determine the insects and other invertebrates that are present and that are critical for partridge nestlings during their first weeks after hatching (Holland et al, 2006).…”

“…En Irlanda, por ejemplo, la expansión del ciervo entre 1978 y 2008 fue de un 565% (Carden et al 2011). En España las poblaciones de ciervo (que llegaron al borde de la extinción a mediados del siglo XX) aumentan sin cesar desde hace unos 50 años y, de unos pocos cientos de ejemplares cazados hacia 1950, se pasó a cazar unos 45.000 ciervos/año a principios de los años 90 (Soriguer et al 1994), en torno a los 100.000 en 2007 y 130.000 en 2011 (Garrido 2012 (Anderson & Katz 1993;Stockton et al 2005;Perea et al 2014). A esto hay que sumar los daños en la agricultura y la conflictividad social que esto provoca (e.g.…”

“…El escodado es el daño que los cérvidos causan a los árboles y arbustos por el frotamiento de sus cuernas. En su gran mayoría, los estudios se han centrado en los dos primeros tipos de daños, los más importantes, pues a veces causan serios daños ecológicos y económicos (Putman & Moore 1998;Rooney 2001;Palmer & Truscott 2003;Côté et al 2004;Beguin et al 2011;Randall & Walters 2011;Perea et al 2014). Mientras que la atención prestada al escodado ha sido muy reducida al no ser un tipo de daño observado con frecuencia.…”
