Research Papers
Having spent considerable time researching the science and facts behind deer management, I thought I would share some of those papers and research.
The Health of the Wild Red Deer of Exmoor and an Assessment of their role in the Transmission of Disease to Livestock and Humans.
An interesting blog post by Charlie Pye-Smith on why good management matters.
The Impact of Deer on Woodland Biodiversity. A Forestry Commission paper by R. Gill
The impact of deer on lowland woodland invertebrates by A.J.A Stewart
Ecological impacts of increasing numbers of deer in British Woodland by R.J Fuller and R.M.A Gill.
The ranging behaviour, habitat-use and impact of Deer in Oak woods and Heather Moors of Exmoor and the Quantock Hills by Dr. Jochen Langbein
Colonization of the Scottish islands via long-distance Neolithic transport of Red Deer by Stanton, Mulville and Bruford.
Breeding and post-breeding responses of woodland birds to modification of habitat structure by deer. By Holt, Fuller and Dolman
This is the first few, I’ll post more references from my archives and will include some of the books I have read on the subject as well.
