The editor’s alternative is the article by Rhim et al. “Adaptive response of Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) to local weather and altitude within the temperate forests of South Korea”.

What have you learnt concerning the Siberian roe deer? If something, then maybe the bigger antler measurement of Capreolus pygargus in comparison with its western cousin, the European roe deer, Capreolus capreolus. Though the distribution of the Siberian roe deer extends from the Caucasus within the west to the Sea of Japan within the east, and is thus wider than that of the European roe deer, it’s poorly coated within the worldwide literature.

A fast subject search in Net of Science discovered 102 papers on Siberian roe deer, however 2131 papers on European roe deer. Google Scholar lists 2720 and 22 900 entries, respectively, since 2000.

Of their paper, Shin-Jae Rhim and co-authors current the Siberian roe deer in South Korea as a worthwhile mannequin for understanding how an ungulate in a mountainous surroundings might reply to local weather change. Particularly, they present how deer adapt their spatial and temporal behaviour to keep away from warmth stress. I welcome extra contributions on this species and the numerous others that share its habitat.
