Insights from a 30-year study demonstrate an inverse correlation between recreational activities and red deer fecundity, with bodyweight as a mediator

2023-10-17

Abstract excerpt

Human activity is omnipresent in our landscapes. Animals can perceive risk from humans similar to predation risk, which could affect their fitness. We assessed the influence of recreation on bodyweight and pregnancy rates of red deer (Cervus elaphus) between 1985 and 2015. We hypothesized that stress, as a result of recreational activities, affects pregnancy rates of red deer directly and indirectly via a reductio...
