Rising numbers of wild ungulates in human‐dominated landscapes Europe can induce negative effects like damages to forests. Therefore, effective wildlife management, including harvesting through hunting is becoming increasingly important. However, current practices often fail diminish those effects, as many ungulate species retreat areas unsuitable for hunting. This predator–avoidance behaviour ...

Characteristics of the epidemiology of C. burnetii are the many reservoirs and multiple infection cycles. The principal vectors of C. burnetii are ticks, which transmit the agent to wild animals (causing wildlife coxiellosis) or to domestic animals (creating the livestock reservoir of C. burnetii) [17, 19]. The most important reservoirs in nature are small wild rodents, but infection has been i...

Observations of Canada Lynx (Fe/is lynx) predation on Red Foxes ( Vulpes vulpes) and medium-sized ungulates during winter are reviewed. Characteristics of I 3 successful attacks on Red Foxes and 16 cases of predation on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and Dall Sheep (Ovis dalli) suggest that Lynx are capable of killing even adults of these species, with foxes being killed most easily. The occurrenc...
