Inefficiency of evolutionarily relevant selection in ungulate trophy hunting

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Differentially harvesting individual animals with specific traits has led some to argue that such selection can cause evolutionary change that may be detrimental to the species, especially if those traits are related positively to individual fitness. Most hunters are not selective in the type of animal they take, satisfied instead to harvest any legal animal. In a few exceptions, however, regulations may limit hun...
