Group size dynamics of red deer in Bialowieza Primeval Forest, Poland
Article Abstract:
Long-term data of red deer (Cervus elaphus) group sizes collected at 3 timescales in Biolowieza Primeval Forest, Poland, from 1986 to 2003 was analyzed. On the daily scale, group size differed among periods of the day for females in summer and autumn but not winter while group size of males did not differ among periods of the day during any season. On seasonal scale, both sexes had larger group sizes in winter than summer, and males were always more solitary than females.
