Evolutionary responses to harvesting in ungulates (Proaktor et al. 2007, JAE)
This paper investigates the evolutionary responses to harvesting in ungulates using a state-dependent,
stochastic, density-dependent individual-based model of red deer Cervus elaphus (L.) females subject to
different harvesting regimes. An interesting addition to the topic of harvesting-induced evolution, certainly from
the taxonomical point of view!
