The species was more abundant in the mesic mountain forests (Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica)) than in the xeric, sclerophyllous holm oak (Quercus ilex) forests of surrounding plateaus. Roe deer prefer patches occupied by brambles (Rubus spp.) and rose bushes (Rosa spp.) and patches with higher cover on pastures and moors (Erica spp. and Calluna spp.). These vegetation types are linked to moist soils in the Mediterranean zone, indicating that roe deer prefer the moister, more productive patches. Roe deer actively selected productive patches covered by leguminous shrubs (Sarothamnus, Retama) and rejected poor patches covered by Cistus ladanifer and Cistus laurifolius (two shrubs that produce chemicals toxic to other plants). Low summer primary productivity of xeric, sclerophyllous forests can explain the low abundance of roe deer in these forests. This supports the view that habitat constraints limit numbers and distribution of this Palaearctic species at the southern edge of its range.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1139/z98-065doi: 10.1139/z98-065The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: NRC Research Press</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tellería, José Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virgós, Emilio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distribution of an increasing roe deer population in a fragmented Mediterranean landscape</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecography</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">abundance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distribution patterns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">forest cover</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">habitat quality (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">roe deer</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1997///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0587.1997.tb00368.x</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">247 - 252</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper describes roe deer Capreolus capreolus distribution in central Spain, where the species has spread from the mountains into peripheral agricultural areas In this region, it is more abundant in forest fragments near the mountains than in those further away, in pine and oak woodlands than in sclerophyllous forests, and in forests with open water than in those lacking this resource The paper also analyzes whether habitat quality and geographic location of forests with respect to roe deer source areas are the two basic causes of its distribution, as predicted by some models of the species distribution in fragmented landscapes The results corroborate this hypothesis revealing that roe deer abundance is linked negatively to sclerophyllous forest cover and distance from mountains We conclude that this type of farmland seems to be sub-optimal for roe deer in comparison with forested, moist mountains</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</style></notes></record></records></xml>
