Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Impacts of Deer Overabundance
TL;DR: Given the influence of deer on other organisms and natural processes, ecologists should actively participate in efforts to understand, monitor, and reduce the impact of deer in natural ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Variation in Fitness Components and Population Dynamics of Large Herbivores
TL;DR: In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and density dependence co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components and how that variability affects changes in population growth rates is examined.

TL;DR: The densities of seedlings and saplings of canopy trees are severely reduced on herbivore-affected islands, providing evidence of a trophic cascade unleashed in the absence of top-down regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring of biological diversity in space and time
TL;DR: This work reviews recent developments in methods and designs that aim to integrate sources of error to provide unbiased estimates of change in biological diversity and to suggest the potential causes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and indirect effects of white-tailed deer in forest ecosystems
TL;DR: In the mixed conifer‐hardwood forests around the Great Lakes in North America, widespread habitat modification and the extirpation of native predators and other ungulates have acted to boost populations of white-tailed deer to historically high densities, as evidenced by demographic analysis.
