Understanding the factors shaping the dynamics of carnivore-livestock conflicts is vital to facilitate large carnivore conservation in multi-use landscapes. We investigated how the density of their main wild prey, roe deer Capreolus capreolus, modulates individual Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx kill rates on free-ranging domestic sheep Ovis aries across a range of sheep and roe deer densities. Lynx ki...

Over the last decades roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) populations have increased in number and distribution throughout Europe. Such increases have profound impacts on ecosystems, both positive and negative. Therefore monitoring roe deer populations is essential for the appropriate management of this species, in order to achieve a balance between conservation and mitigation of the negative impact...

The paper describes the results of a comparative study of the seasonal and long-term dynamics of the levels of 1 3 7 Cs in roe deer and moose harvested in a relatively small area (100 km ) of central Sweden. Samples of roe deer (N=1084) and moose (N=1922) were collected in 1988-1997 mainly during the hunting seasons. It is shown that the long-term decrease of | 3 7 Cs levels in roe deer and moo...

the starting behavior of a supersonic axisymmetric mixed compression air intake was numerically investigated. the code solves reynolds-averaged navier–stokes equations using an explicit finite volume method in a structured grid by the roe flux difference splitting scheme. further, it uses the baldwin–lomax algebraic model to compute the turbulent viscosity coefficient. the correct method of sur...

The main subject dealt with in this symposium is the interaction between hunters, lynx populations and roe deer populations. One chapter is about the change in behavior of the roe deer with the appearance of lynx. Another part examines how to evaluate the effects of lynx on the roe deer population density. It ends with a case study in Germany which shows that a constructive lynx management coul...

• A Roe solver for the simulation of non-hydrostatic pressure flows is presented. Two different models are compared in terms equations and numerical resolution. Numerical details provided to show most suitable options when using a solver. The model applied classical dispersive test comparing with analytical experimental data. aim this work is, first all, extend finite volume scheme, previously ...

ABSTRACT Sarcocystis tissue cysts from the Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) were studied by light and electron microscopy. Seven out of eight roe deer were infected (85 % ) . Cysts were macroscopically visible measuring 1-4 mm in length and 0.1-0.5 mm in width. They contained typical Sarcocystis merozoites 10.8 fim in length and 2.4 /xm in width. The taxonomic relation of Sarcocystis sibi...

Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia. Specifically, we compared how habitat selection by roe deer varied (1) before and after lynx re-established in the study area and (2) in relation...

Detached Eddy Simulations are performed for unsteady three-dimensional supersonic turbulent flow over an open L/D = 5 cavity at free-stream Mach number of 1.19. Numerical results are obtained from the explicit solution and Shear-Stress-Transport based simulations using the 3 order Roe scheme. Computational results are presented for the unsteady vortex and shock structures. The acoustic response...

The nsmb code (Navier-Stokes Multi-Block) solves the fully coupled system of equations simultaneously using a cell-centered finitevolume approach. This note assesses the sensitivity to some turbulence models and numerical schemes implemented in nsmb when computing two test cases in standard mode, that is, without tuning the code to these two cases. The cases are 1. subsonic flow around the ms(1...
