Описание: In Chapter One, Andrea Doris Kupferschmid, PhD explains a wide range of tree reactions to ungulate browsing based on six proposed factors. The effect of ungulates on tree regeneration and forest progression can be projected for different forest types when tree reactions are known. In Chapter Two, Torsten Wronski, Malte Hoffmann, and Martin Plath asses the habitat choice of the largest aboriginal population of Arabian gazelles in the world, located off the coast of Saudi Arabia on the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea. The results of this study suggest that Acacia-wooded habitats are the habitat favoured by this gazelle species. Afterwards, Rob Found suggests that elk have cultural differences, and thus so do other ungulate species, in Chapter Three. In the fourth and final chapter, Antonio J. Carpio, PhD, Jose Guerrero-Casado, PhD, J.A. Barasona, PhD, and Francisco S. Tortosa, PhD examine the peer-reviewed literature regarding the impact of wild ungulates on the Mediterranean Basin ecosystems in order to amalgamate the knowledge.

Описание: Ungulates are an extraordinarily important group of animals worldwide. In many cases, they are keystone species with a disproportionate effect on the functioning of the wider ecological systems of which they form a part. They can also serve as dominant species acting as ecological engineers and as a prey base for endangered or expanding populations of large carnivores. They are important culturally and economically, as a major source of protein in subsistence cultures and because of their wide exploitation in recreational hunting, which is still a major form of land use in many countries. The book considers a number of aspects of the balance of cost and benefit of ungulates and their management in Europe. Through a synthesis of the underlying biology and a comparison of the management techniques adopted in different countries, management approaches which seem effective within their respective circumstances are explored. Each chapter is written by experts in their own fields, ensuring that they are aware of the most up-to-date literature on that topic and can also offer an experienced and informed review based on their own research experience.

Описание: The knowledge on the ecology of ungulates (orders Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla) inhabiting eastern Europe and northern and central Asia is of special importance for those interested in zoology, ecology, nature conservation, hunting and management. There are 26 species of ungulates 2 oE-169W within the 22. 4 million km area, between 35-82N and 20 and they occupy several vegetation zones from arctic deserts to the subtropics. In our opinion, the advancement of science can be retarded and general conclusions will be difficult to make, if the knowledge of the organisms inhabiting one sixth of the world'sland surface, covered by this vast region, is not included. The language barrier, as well as the lack of international accessibility of local publications, makes it difficult to make use of the great volume of scientific information gathered within the territory of the former USSR. The only complete ecological review of ungulates of the Soviet Union, Mammals of the Soviet Union, vol. 1. Ungulates, was published by V. G. Heptner, A. A. Nasimovich, and A. G. Bannikov in 1961 (in Russian, Heptner and Naumov 1961)and 1989(the English translation, Heptner and Naumov 1989). This excellent book does not, however, contain scientific contributions published after 1959. This is unfortunate, because during the foHowing40years, intense and highly qualified research on the ecology and behavior of ungulates was performed.

Описание: In this book, the author addresses the question of how, in many temporate ecosystems, diverse and species-rich assemblies of ungulates manage to co-exist despite often quite extensive overlap in ecological requirements. The behaviour and ecology of particular species is also examined.
