Group living animals form striking aggregation patterns and display synchronization,polarization,and collective intelligence.Though many col-lective behavioral studies have been conducted on small animals like insects...
The present publication is a partial result of the R&D project‘Ungulate monitoring in German national parks’(FKZ:3518830200);which is supported by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation(BfN).
Ungulate browsing often impairs tree regeneration,thus preventing the achievement of economic or conservation goals.Forest ungulate management would thus benefit from a practical decision tool that facilitates method ...
