Females presence and males agonistic encounters in fallow deer, Dama dama during the rut

Original language description

Similarly to other Cervidae, conflicts and fights are frequent during the rut of fallow deer. The part of does (female fallow deer) during buck (male fallow deer) encounters was examined in this study. Encounters between adult bucks were recorded duringthe rut. The numbers of encounters with and without females present were nearly equal with similar proportions of encounters when females accompanied one or both of the males. Fighting occurred in 39.5 % of the encounters only. Female presence seemed tohave a negligible effect on the probability of an encounter between two bucks escalating into a fight. However, fights tended to escalate more frequently when there were no females present compared to when females were present. Vocalizations were recorded in most encounters and occurred irrespectively of female presence / absence. Bucks were more likely to engage with conspecific with female consorts. When both opponents had female consorts with them, the probability of desertion of the
