Ungulates are an extraordinarily important group of animals
worldwide, at many levels - in their remarkable biodiversity; in
many cases, as keystone species with a disproportionate effect on
the functioning of the wider ecological systems of which they form
a part or as dominant species acting as ecological engineers; and
as a prey base for endangered or expanding populations of large
carnivores. They are also important culturally and economically, as
a major source of protein in subsistence cultures and because of
their wide exploitation in recreational hunting, which is still a
major form of land-use in many countries. A number of aspects of
the balance of cost and benefit of ungulates and their management
in Europe are considered. Through a synthesis of the underlying
biology and a comparison of the management techniques adopted in
different countries, management approaches which seem effective
within their respective circumstances are explored. Each chapter is
written by experts in their own particular field, ensuring that
they are aware of the most up-to-date literature on that topic and
can also offer an experienced and informed review based on their
own research experience.
