Bücher der Reihe Chapman & Hall Wildlife Ecology and Behaviour Series

Focuses on the question - What are the benefits that animals gain from living in a social group? This book is suitable for wildlife enthusiasts, interested naturalists, wildlife biologists and wildlife managers.

Rory Putman addresses the question of how, in many temporate ecosystems, diverse and species-rich assemblies of ungulates manage to co-exist despite often quite extensive overlap in ecological requirements.

This book, the second in Chapman & Hall's Wildlife, Ecology and Behaviour Series, focuses on studies of both European and Siberian roe deer to provide an authoritative insight into the taxonomy, ecology, feeding patterns, social behaviour and population dynamics. It uses this information to tackle the fascinating question of what environmental factors underly ranging patterns and trigger migratory behaviour in some populations but not in others, adding new perspectives and depths to our understanding of general issues in behavioural ecology.
