From fear to food: predation risk shapes deer behaviour, their resources and forest vegetation by Martin, Jean-Louis, Chamaillé-Jammes, Simon, Salomon, Anne, Gomez Pourroy, Devana Veronica, Schlaeflin, Mathilde, Le Saout, Soizic, Lucas, Annick, Bentaleb, Ilham, Chollet, Simon, Pattison, Jake, Martin-Blangy, Soline, Gaston, Anthony James

“…In these populations deer had a remarkable tolerance to human presence (short flight initiation and travel distances when disturbed), a willingness to consume foreign bait or to investigate baited traps, and a propensity to be active at daytime. Where deer faced long-term hunting and natural predators, understories were denser and more diverse and resembled those of forests never exposed to deer. …”
