This study compares the amount of available biomass for wild herbivores (red deer (Cervus elaphus L.), roe (Capreolus capreolus and hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas)) depending on three different types forest silvicultural systems—presented using example beech spruce stands in wintertime. During winter period, provided ten times more than beech. However, metabolizable energy, 7.38 MJ/kg average, wh...

Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) seems to outcompete mountain (L. timidus) wherever the two species co-occur, but few studies have validated or even addressed this issue. In southern Sweden, distribution of non-native brown overlaps with that subspecies heath t. sylvaticus), possibly only mammalian unique Sweden. any competitive interaction, at least one is negatively affected. If outcompetition oc...

The congeneric lagomorphs Lepus timidus and L. europaeus share allopatric distributions in many areas of Europe characterised by competitive exclusion hybridisation. We investigated prospects for these species under climate change northern England uplands. created ensemble models predicting niche realisation species, influenced abiotic biotic factors, estimating overlap geo-environmental space....
