摘要: Information is scarce on behavioural interference between wild ungulates. In particular, data are lacking relationships and habitat use. We analysed correlates of interactions fallow deer Dama dama roe Capreolus capreolus at feeding, in a Mediterranean area. Previous research has shown that these deer, with the former dominant over latter, occurred also through direct aggression. Here we show that, for probability being displaced by did not depend where meet. Interspecific encounters, thus interactions, were most frequent mainly used i.e. set-aside grassland. When habitats (pastures crops), experienced greater risk suffering displacement. The rate intolerance encounters increased spring, when overlap because intensified use set-aside. Our results suggest likely, avoidance habitat-dependent.
