Advances in the sequencing of DNA extracted from media such as soil and water offer huge
opportunities for biodiversity monitoring and assessment, particularly where the collection or …

In recent decades, ungulates have expanded in number and range in Europe. This review
aims to analyze the impact of ungulate browsing in different forest ecosystems and identify …

Abstract Analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) from passively collected airborne dust has
demonstrated broad success for sensitive and robust detection of plants. Recent …

Forests produce a vast diversity of ecosystem services. To safeguard management goals
such as timber production, forest management needs to consider risks for damage caused …

The moose (Alces alces) is a dominant large mammalian herbivore in the world's boreal
zones. Moose exert significant browsing impacts on forest vegetation and are therefore often …

Fine-scale resource use by large herbivores is often difficult to quantify directly. This is
particularly true for browsing ungulates due to the challenges in observing shy subjects in …

Over the past decades, ungulates across the northern hemisphere have been expanding in
range and numbers. This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared …

Population sizes and species distributions of wild ungulates in Europe have increased
during the past decades, and continue to do so. As a result, browsing pressure in forests is …

Increasing deer populations in many temperate regions can affect tree regeneration,
resulting in severe long-term impacts on forest structure, composition and diversity. Of the …

The physiological effects of short-term stress responses typically lead to increased individual
survival as it prepares the body for fight or flight through catabolic reactions in the body …
