TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of tree spatial data, spatial statistics and dynamical theory is proposed to reveal the relationship between spatial patterns and population-level interaction coefficients and their consequences for multispecies dynamics and coexistence.

TL;DR: It may be most effective for managers to first reduce deer populations before investing in efforts to reduce invasive populations (except when invasions are at an early stage), and traditional approaches to managing deer should be rethink and reform to better integrate land vegetation with wildlife management.
