European Ungulates and their Management in the 21st Century
TL;DR: The present status and future challenges for European ungulate management M. Apollonio, R. Anderson and R. Putman Index are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species inflation and taxonomic artefacts—A critical comment on recent trends in mammalian classification
Frank E. Zachos,Marco Apollonio,Eva V. Bärmann,Marco Festa-Bianchet,Ursula B. Göhlich,Jan Christian Habel,Elisabeth Haring,Elisabeth Haring,Luise Kruckenhauser,Sandro Lovari,Allan D. McDevitt,Cino Pertoldi,Gertrud E. Rössner,Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra,Massimo Scandura,Franz Suchentrunk +15 more
TL;DR: This work highlights several cases of splitting and argues that much of this taxonomic inflation is artificial due to shortcomings of the phylogenetic species concept and unjustified reliance on insufficient morphological and/or genetic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe
Claudia Melis,Bogumiła Jędrzejewska,Marco Apollonio,Kamil A. Bartoń,Włodzimierz Jędrzejewski,John D. C.

Sidorovich,Bernadetta Zawadzka,Sergey Zhyla +20 more
TL;DR: The large-scale patterns in population density of roe deer Caprelous capreolus in Europe are described and the factors shaping variation in their abundance are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient vs. recent processes as factors shaping the genetic variation of the European wild boar: are the effects of the last glaciation still detectable?
Massimo Scandura,Laura Iacolina,B. Crestanello,Elena Pecchioli,M. F. Di Benedetto,Vincenzo Russo,Roberta Davoli,Marco Apollonio,Giorgio Bertorelle +8 more
TL;DR: It follows that areas with high variation and differentiation represent natural reservoirs of genetic diversity to be protected avoiding translocations, and controlling some populations by hunting is not expected to affect significantly genetic variation in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of copulatory success in a fallow deer lek
TL;DR: Body condition appears to be an important determinant of male copulatory success, because only males in superior condition could defend a lek territory for up to 2 weeks, and females may ultimately select mates in the best body condition.
