This book is the first comprehensive reference work ever published on the systematics, ecology, conservation status, and management of all the world's deer species.
Covering all 53 deer species worldwide, this volume brings together the contributions of 160 international deer experts and provides:
  • A comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the evolution, phylogeny, taxonomy, and systematics of deer
  • An in-depth insight into the ecology and conservation status of each species, with detailed accounts
  • A series of case studies on conservation, management, hunting, farming, disease ecology, and the impact of deer on forest ecosystems.
This beautifully illustrated book is an invaluable resource for researchers, wildlife managers, and students of conservation biology, ecology, and management, as well as the interested layperson. It reveals the fascinating story of deer evolution, the long history of human interactions with deer, and the major threats to this charismatic species group.

Notă biografică

Mario Melletti is an Italian freelance wildlife biologist and a member of the African Buffalo Initiative Group and the Wild Pig Specialist Group, both part of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission. During his Ph.D. and M.Sc. studies, he worked at the Department of Animal and Human Biology of the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy, and at the Department of Conservation Biology of the Estación Biólogica de Doñana (CSIC-EBD) Sevilla, Spain. He has been studying African mammals since 2001. For about 3 years he studied the ecology and behaviour of forest buffalo in Central Africa, and he also worked as a field assistant in the Primate Habituation Program (PHP-WWF) of western lowland gorillas in Dzanga-Ndoki National Park (Central African Republic). Mario has also conducted a study on the ecology and behaviour of giant forest hogs and forest elephants in the rainforests of Kibale National Park, Semliki Wildlife Reserve and Queen Elizabeth National Park (Uganda). He has also participated in several large mammal surveys in other African countries such as Burkina Faso, Zambia and Zimbabwe. He is the editor of seven books on mammalian ecology, conservation and management published by Cambridge University Press and Springer Nature, and has authored about 70 scientific publications.
Stefano Focardi is a senior researcher at the Institute for Complex Systems of the CNR in Florence, Italy, where he leads the large mammal research team. He is also Professor of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of Florence and Invited Professor at the University of Lyon, France. He also leads a collaboration with INRA in Toulouse, France. He is the author of 110 scientific articles and 26 environmental management documents. He is also the scientific coordinator of EUROBOAR, a European organisation for research into the biology of wild boar, and an active member of the EURODEER INITIATIVE. He is a specialist in the biology of roe deer and fallow deer and has organised several international meetings on these two cervid species. His current research interests include ungulate demography, avian and mammalian movement ecology, and population assessment.
