Abstract:
Since the beginning of the last century, when red deer was locally extinct from the region of the Swiss National Park, its population has monotonously grown to remarkable high densities (Haller & Fischlin, 2002). However, the reasons for this population growth are poorly understood, yet this is a general pattern throughout Europe and North America. Ungulates can be radio-tracked and the obtained data enable us to model the behavior of individual animals in space and time. We expect from these insights into the spatial dynamics of ungulates to better understand the causes of the population growth of ungulate species such as red deer.
