Nocturnal hypometabolism as an overwintering strategy of red deer (Cervus elaphus).
Herbivores of temperate and arctic zones are confronted during winter with harsh climatic conditions and nutritional shortness. It is still not fully understood how large ungulates cope with this twofold challenge. We found that red deer, similar to many other northern ungulates, show large seasonal fluctuations of metabolic rate, as indicated by heart rate, with a 60% reduction at the winter n...
متن کاملHYBRIDISATION BETWEEN RED DEER (Cervus elaphus) AND OTHER DEER SPECIES
Red deer (R) are the predominant species of farmed deer in New Zealand. There is considerable interest in hybridisation with other deer species to improve growth rate and possibly alter the breeding season of the progeny. Analysis of gestation lengths indicates that the progeny of Canadian wapiti (CW) or CW x R deer have gestation lengths intermediate between the parental strains but the progen...

متن کاملNodular onchocercosis in red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Sweden
The presence of subcutaneous nodular onchocercosis was investigated at slaughter of 151 red deer (Cervus elaphus) (107 juveniles and 44 adults) between October-December 2015. The prevalence of subcutaneous nodules was 56%. Nodules were located in the lumbar region of the back in 96% of the cases, and 38% of the infected red deer had additional parasitic nodules in other body locations, such as ...
متن کاملPhylogeography of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Europe
The patterns of genetic variation of present-day European terrestrial fauna and flora have been influenced by repetitive fluctuations between major glacial and interglacial climatic cycles that have occurred during the Quaternary period (Hewitt, 2004, and references therein). The isolation of species into one or more refugia during the glaciations (Hewitt, 1996) and the mode of post-glacial col...
