New evidence for the establishment and management of the European fallow deer (Dama dama dama) in Roman Britain
TL;DR: It is argued that much more could be achieved with even a slight increase in sample sizes and a plea is made for greater research into this culturally significant species.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a high proportion of wild deer in Great Britain may be susceptible to chronic wasting disease, based on comparison with PRNP sequences of North American cervids affected by CWD.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the first comprehensive scientific study of the fallow deer, a non-native species whose medieval-period introduction to Britain transformed the cultural landscape.
Evolution of population genetic structure of the British roe deer by natural and anthropogenic processes (Capreolus capreolus)
Karis Baker,A. Rus Hoelzel +1 more
TL;DR: A species in Britain that has experienced both negative impact through overhunting in historical times and management efforts through culls and translocations is investigated and three concurrent processes are identified that probably evolved within the Holocene.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a multidisciplinary investigation (combining the zooarchaeological evidence with AMS radiocarbon dating, isotope analyses and preliminary aDNA results) from a set of remains recovered from archaeological sites on Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean).
