Native red deer and introduced chamois: foraging habits in a subalpine meadow-spruce forest area.
Original language description
In the higher altitude parts of the Jeseniky Mountains (1100-1490 m a. s. l.) high density of red deer and chamois populations had a significant damaging impact on the vegetation structure and caused problems in forestry and nature conservation management. In terms of their trophic requirements we compared native red deer and introduced chamois feeding niches width and overlap (microscopical analyses of faeces and rumen content). Despite the different theoretical feeding specialization of the two species, red deer and chamois consumed throughout the year almost the same diet, and their feeding niches showed extensive overlap during all seasons. In the environment with highly simplified plant communities, neither species had any possibility to follow its specific foraging strategy. In their diets, grass-like plants unambiguously dominated during the whole year (growing season: 92-98% of volume, winter: 52-55% of volume). The plant composition of the diet corresponded to the diet of typi
