Dynamics of stag recruitment and retention are an interaction of tree mortality, size, deterioration rate, human intervention, and variables related to the structure and physiognomy of the forest.

In Experiment 1, adults found discrimination between ordinary and fantastic visual realities (Task 1) as clear and manageable as the discrimination between pictures that included or did not include human characters (Task 2), but 6and 9-year-old childre...
