The current magnitude of big-game hunting has outpaced the natural growth of populations, making artificial breeding necessary to rapidly boost hunted populations. In this study, we evaluated if the rapid increase of red deer (Cervus elaphus) abundance, caused by the growing popularity of big-game hunting, has impacted the natural genetic diversity of the species. We compared several genetic diversity metrics between 37 fenced populations subject to intensive management and 21 wild free-ranging populations. We also included a historically protected population from a national park as a baseline for comparisons. Contrary to expectations, our results showed no significant differences in genetic diversity between wild and fenced populations. Relatively lower genetic diversity was observed in the protected population, although differences were not significant in most cases. Bottlenecks were detected in both wild and fenced populations, as well as in the protected population. Assignment tests identified individuals that did not belong to their population of origin, indicating anthropogenic movement. We discuss the most likely processes, which could have led to the observed high levels of genetic variability and lack of differentiation between wild and fenced populations and suggest cautionary points for future conservation. We illustrate our comparative approach in red deer. However, our results and interpretations can be largely applicable to most ungulates subject to big-game hunting as most of them share a common exploitation–recovery history as well as many ecological traits.

Effects of habitat quality and fragmentation on Woodlarks (Lullula arborea) and their invertebrate prey in intensively managed vineyards
Bosco, Laura; Cushman, Samuel; Wan, Ho Yi; Arlettaz, Raphael; Jacot, Alain (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Vineyards in Switzerland are among the most intensively managed perennial crop systems. The vast majority of all parcels are treated with herbicides and do not have any ground vegetation cover, whereas only a small proportion ... -
The maintenance of sexually antagonistic variation in reproductive success by negative frequency-dependence in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)
Martiskainen, Henna (2011)Natural selection theory predicts low variance in traits closely related to reproductive success, since the most fit trait value should replace all the others. However, a considerable amount of variation is found in ... -
Fragmentation-related patterns of genetic differentiation in pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) at two hierarchical scales
Pohjanmies, Tähti; Elshibli, Sakina; Pulkkinen, Pertti; Rusanen, Mari; Vakkari, Pekka; Korpelainen, Helena; Roslin, Tomas (Suomen Metsätieteellinen Seura, 2016)Populations at species’ range margins are expected to show lower genetic diversity than populations at the core of the range. Yet, long-lived, widespread tree species are expected to be resistant to genetic impoverishment, ... -
Habitat area and local habitat conditions outweigh fragmentation effects on insect communities in vineyards
Bosco, Laura; Moser, Valentin; Jones, Mirkka M.; Opedal, Øystein; Ovaskainen, Otso; Sonja, Gerber; Van Klink, Roel; Cushman, Samuel A.; Arlettaz, Raphaël; Jacot, Alain (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)Fragmentation of habitat, for example by intensive agricultural practices, can be detrimental to local biodiversity. However, it often remains unclear whether such biodiversity declines are caused by loss of habitat area ...
