  Scientific journal, Abstract
  
  Highly abundant ungulate populations are widely observed in heavily browsed habitats; however, few studies have investigated the effects of chronic browsing on the life‐history traits of large herbivores. We assessed the nutritional quality (crude protein [CP] contents) of staple foods, reproductive success, fawn recruitment, winter body mass, and body size in an introduced population of sika deer (Cervus nippon Temminck, 1938) on Nakanoshima Island, Lake Toya, Japan, which underwent repeated irruptions with shifting alternative foods and maintained high densities (>20 deer/km²). Our evaluation covered each irruptive dynamical phase, including initial irruption (Phase 1), second irruption (Phase 2), and subsequent phase (Phase 3). CP contents of staple foods (plum yew and litterfall in Phases 2 and 3, respectively) were at the same level as that of dwarf bamboo in Phase 1 during summer but were lower in autumn and winter, suggesting a decline in diet quality after initial irruption. The deer herd exhibited density‐dependent changes in life‐history traits, including delayed sexual maturity, lower fawn recruitment, and delayed body growth. The mean adult female (≥3 years old) body mass in Phases 2–3 was marginally above the 50% pregnancy rate threshold. The deer herd tolerated substantial declines in food quality, which involved trade‐offs between survival, growth, and reproduction as adaptations to life‐history traits. This phenotypic plasticity is the main factor in maintaining high deer densities under severe food resource limitations. This suggests that the sika deer population will not reach equilibrium with their food resources without hunting or predators.

  Biology, 11, 2, 302, MDPI AG, 12 Feb. 2022, [International Magazine]
  English, Scientific journal, Identifying appropriate indicator species for the impact of deer on forest vegetation is crucial for forest management in deer habitats and is required to be sensitive to temporal and spatial variations in deer density. Dryopteris crassirhizoma was selected as a new indicator to evaluate the response to these variations. We examined the population-level characteristics, morphological characteristics at the individual level, and grazing intensity of D. crassirhizoma at temporally different deer density sites in Hokkaido, Japan. The response of D. crassirhizoma to spatial variation in deer density was also examined within and between two regions in Hokkaido, Japan. Although the population-level characteristics and morphological characteristics did not significantly respond to short-term decreases in deer density, grazing intensity significantly decreased with decreasing deer density. The grazing intensity was also positively related to the spatial variation of deer density within both regions, but the estimated coefficient of the grazing intensity differed between regions. We concluded that D. crassirhizoma can be a useful indicator species of the impact of deer on forest vegetation. The grazing intensity of the indicator species was sensitive to temporal and spatial variations in deer density within the region.

• Addressing problems raised by separate wildlife population management strategies created by two administrative systems: a case study of sika deer management in Hokkaido, Japan

  Japanese, Maintaining wildlife populations requires the creation of management strategies and implementation of conservation or stabilisation measures. In Japan, sika deer management is driven by two management plans created by separate administrative bodies. The 'Protection and Control of Wild Birds and Mammals and Hunting Management Law' implemented by the Ministry of the Environment, was designed to allow prefectural governments to manage sika deer over large spatial scales, whereas the 'Act on Special Measures for Prevention of Damage Related to Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Caused by Wildlife' implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, is tasked with creating a budget covering all practical measures for grazing damage mitigation at the municipal level. Although the Ministry of the Environment is responsible for wildlife management in Hokkaido, it cannot directly examine or influence measures taken by municipalities because they are financially controlled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. To foster a comprehensive sika deer management system, we held meetings in six subprefectures, gathering representatives from multiple administrative levels (prefecture to municipality) in agriculture and forestry departments to exchange opinions about relevant administrative issues. These meetings demonstrated the need for better communication and collaboration to create stronger links between the administrative bodies that create and execute sika deer population management plans so as to ensure sustainable populations in Japan.

  Scientific journal, AbstractIrruptions of large herbivores, with a rapid population increase to peak abundance, are widely observed. Occasionally, there is a population crash following such peaks in abundance, after which the population recovers to form another peak typically lower than the initial. There are mathematical models describing this full cycle of irruptive dynamics. The insight for further improvement of such mathematical models will be obtained from demographic analyses of irruptive dynamics incorporating density‐dependent and density‐independent resource limitations. Using a 35‐yr dataset on the irruptive dynamics of an introduced sika deer (Cervus nippon) population on Nakanoshima Island, Japan, we evaluated the factors and stages determining irruptive dynamics (phase 1: the initial irruption and population crash; phase 2: subsequent dynamics) through key‐factor/key‐stage analysis of the population structure, estimated using age‐at‐death data of naturally dead deer. We set two factors (i.e., deer density and snow accumulation) and three life stages (i.e., immature individuals, adult female, and adult male). The estimated population structure showed two population crashes and a density peak higher than the initial peak during population regrowth subsequent to the initial population crash. The most influential factor and stage for determining the population dynamics differed between phases 1 and 2. The contribution of deer density to the variability in population change was the largest in phase 1 (62.30%) and decreased to 24.10% in phase 2. The contribution of snow accumulation was small in both phase 1 (11.74%) and phase 2 (0.64%). The male stage had the largest contribution in phase 1 (39.23%), while the immature stage had the largest contribution in phase 2 (63.31%). The female stage had the smallest contribution in both phase 1 (24.19%) and phase 2 (17.67%). Population growth rate decreased, while carrying capacity increased, in phase 2 compared to phase 1. We suggest that the small contributions of density‐dependent and density‐independent resource limitations on population dynamics in phase 2 were related to the characteristics of alternative foods (fallen leaves and woody plants) that were newly utilized by deer in phase 2. We conclude that alternative resources potentially generate various irruptive dynamics, including unstable dynamics not expected in the classic paradigm.

  Wetland research, 8, 7, 16, Japan Wetland Society, 01 Jan. 2018
  Japanese, We conducted aerial survey in Bekanbeushi Marsh, and compared density index and habitat selection for sika deer（Cervus nippon yesoensis）between Bekanbeushi Marsh and Kushiro Marsh to evaluate the winter habitat quality and identify the marsh where countermeasures should be implemented preferentially. Density index was significantly lower in northern Bekanbeushi Marsh than in northern Kushiro Marsh. Northern Bekanbeushi Marsh had a smaller area of broad-leaved forests which deer selected during winter, deeper snow depth and a lower ratio of southern slope than those in northern Kushiro Marsh. These results suggest that the winter habitat quality for deer in Kushiro Marsh is better than that in
  Bekanbeushi Marsh. Thus countermeasures for deer management should be preferentially implemented in Kushiro Marsh.
  Since density index was locally high around valuable bog in Bekanbeushi Marsh, we should evaluate the effect of sika deer
  on the vegetation.

  English, Scientific journal, Carrying capacity is 1 driver of wildlife population dynamics. Although in previous studies carrying capacity was considered to be a fixed entity, it may differ among locations due to environmental variation. The factors underlying variability in carrying capacity, however, have rarely been examined. Here, we investigated spatial heterogeneity in the carrying capacity of Japanese sika deer ( Cervus nippon ) from 2005 to 2014 in Yamanashi Prefecture, central Japan (mesh with grid cells of 5.5×4.6 km) by state-space modeling. Both carrying capacity and density dependence differed greatly among cells. Estimated carrying capacities ranged from 1.34 to 98.4 deer/km 2 . According to estimated population dynamics, grid cells with larger proportions of artificial grassland and deciduous forest were subject to lower density dependence and higher carrying capacity. We conclude that population dynamics of ungulates may vary spatially through spatial variation in carrying capacity and that the density level for controlling ungulate abundance should be based on the current density level relative to the carrying capacity for each area.

  Japanese, <p>In this symposium, we discussed the current status of ungulate management in East Asian countries where ungulates are overabundant. We also discussed future strategies to control ungulate populations by learning precedents from Europe. Hunting is considered to be one important factor for wildlife management systems in European countries. However, problems have become apparent when ungulate population control depends on recreational hunters, because recreational hunters tend to be more interested in their harvest than issues relating to overabundant populations. East Asian countries should recognize this fact as precedence for failure.</p>

  Japanese, Habitat selection of sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) during the winter in Kushiro Shitsugen National Park was investigated via road counts and aerial survey to implement effective management of deer in the national park. We conducted road counts along the fix route running through the marshland between November 2010 and May 2011, and aerial surveys in the north of the national park early in February, 2011. Confidence intervals of Manly’s selection index for broad-leaved forests calculated via road counts and aerial survey ranged above 1. This suggests that deer selected broad-leaved forests during the long period of winter in the national park. We observed few deer in November, December, April and May, whereas deer density index exceeded 60 deer/km² between January and March along the route from Kottaro Marsh Observatory to Lake Toro. Thus, we suggest the study area is wintering area for deer. We conclude that broad-leaved forests during the winter will be an effective place and season to cull deer with guns or traps in the national park.

• Culling Versus Density Effects in Management of a Deer Population
  Ueno, Mayumi; Kaji, Koichi; Saitoh, Takashi
  Journal of Wildlife Management, 74, 7, 1472, 1483, 01 Jan. 2010
  English, Scientific journal, Wildlife managers often manipulate hunting regulations to control deer populations. However, few empirical studies have examined the level of hunting effort (hunter-days) required to limit population growth and demographic effects through harvesting of females. Moreover, the relative importance of density effects on population growth has not been quantified. We reconstructed a sika deer [Cervus nippon] population over a period of 12 years (1990–2001) using age- and sex-specific harvest data. Using cohort analysis, we analyzed population dynamics, focusing on 1) the relationship between hunting effort and hunting-induced mortality rate, 2) relative contributions of hunting mortality and recruitment of yearlings to annual changes in population growth rate, and 3) annual variation in recruitment rate. Population size increased until 1998 and declined thereafter. The population growth rate changed more in response to annual changes in recruitment rate than hunting mortality rate. Temporal variation in recruitment rate was not controlled by birth rate alone; direct density dependence, intensities of hunting mortality for fawns, and for females ( L2 yr of age), which accounted for the fawn survival rate, were required as factors to explain temporal variation. Density effects on the recruitment rate were not strong enough to regulate the population within the study period; high hunting mortality, with intensive female harvesting, was necessary to prevent population growth. Hunting effort was a good predictor of the hunting mortality rate, and female harvest had a negative effect on the recruitment rate through fawn survival. We suggest that .3,500 hunter-days and prioritization of female harvesting are required to prevent increases in this deer population.

  English, Scientific journal, We tested the reliability of fecal nitrogen (FN) to predict dietary nitrogen (DN) in two sika deer Cervus nippon Heude, 1884 populations with greatly differing habitats. One was near the village of Nishiokoppe (area A) and the other was on Nakanoshima Island (area B) in Hokkaido, Japan. To estimate FN, we washed feces through a sieve, and diet was identified based on rumen-content analysis. The diet in area A was mostly composed of grass and legumes of agricultural origin, with browse being only a minor component. In contrast, browse such as deciduous foliage was the main component of the diet in area B. Dietary nitrogen was significantly regressed by FN within specific areas. On the other hand, the DN-FN-relationship had a similar slope but significantly different intercepts between areas. DN-FN-relationships differed between diets with and without an agricultural component, irrespective of browse. Thus, the difference in the DN-FN-relationship between areas was explained by differences in dietary composition. We therefore conclude that FN may be useful in predicting DN in diverse dietary situations regardless of the ratio of browse in the diet of free-ranging ungulates, but that dependence on agricultural pastures may hinder the utility of FN as an index of DN.

  Japanese, Scientific journal, The capture and chemical immobilization of wild Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) have started since 1981 at Nakajima Island, Hokkaido, Japan. We reviewed the techniques of capture and chemical immobilization for the deer. The capture techniques that were mainly used at present were a corral trap, the alpine capture system, a box trap, a blowpipe and a dart gun. And xylazine-ketamine mixture or medetomidine-ketamine mixture were commonly used for chemical immobilization. The induction dosage of xylazine-ketamine mixture as follow, xylazine: 1.2-2.0mg/kg, ketamine: 1.2-6.0mg/kg. The induction dosage of medetomidine-ketamine mixture as follow, medetomidine: 35.7-98.4μg/kg, ketamine: 1.6-7.7mg/kg. These mixtures were administered intramuscularly by a blowpipe or a dart gun. During immobilization, respiratory rate, heart rate, rectal temparture and the color of gums were monitored. The normal ranges of respiratory rate, heart rate and rectal temperture were 30-40/min, 50-70/min and 38.0-39.5℃, respectively. Atipamezole was used as an antagonist for the both mixtures and administered intravenously and/or intramuscularly. The dosage of atipamezole for xylazine was 1/10 of xylazine dose, for medetomidine was five times of medetomidine dose.

  Japanese, Scientific journal, The antagonism of atipamezole to xylazine was examined in Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis). Seventeen free-ranging sika deer were immobilized with a combination of xylazine (2.0 ± 0.1 mg/kg ; mean ± SE) and ketamine (6.0 ± 0.3 mg/kg) for 52.1 ± 3.2 min. The animals were administered atipamezole intramuscularly at xylazine:atipamezole dose ratios of 10 : 1 (n=5), 3 : 1 (n=6) and 2 : 1 (n=6). Rapid recoveries were achieved with 7.0 ± 3.2, 5.0 ± 2.6 and 5.2 ± 2.5 min for each dose group, respectively. No dose-dependent effects of atipamezole in the recovery time were observed. Atipamezole was effective in reversing xylazine-ketamine induced immobilization in sika deer.

  Japanese, A total of 269 sika deer (Cervus nippon) were captured with a corral trap in six trials for a management program and research in March and April 2001-2003 on Nakanoshima Island in Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan. The trap (361m in circumference) composed of funnel-shaped corral with wire net, J-shaped pen and darkroom with plywood. Captured deer were driven into the pen and the darkroom, and immobilized with xylazine-ketamine or medetomidine-ketamine mixture using dart guns and blowpipes. Total mortality rate was 14.0% (24/171) except for 98 translocated deer. Adult males and fawns were more susceptible to mortality than adult females and yearlings (p<0.05). Occurrence of mortalities and injuries were strongly correlated with the number of deer captured at one time (118 deer in maximum, p<0.05) and of antlered males driven into the pen (p<0.01). To reduce the mortality, it is necessary that handlers control the density of antlered males within the pen, quickly immobilize them and shorten the processing time. Person-hours per deer captured was 3.9 for baiting and trapping and 6.1 for handling. Since safety in using this trap can be improved, corral trap would be an efficient mass capture method for sika deer under the guidance of experienced persons.

  We estimated the densities of sika deer (Cervus nippon) in Hokkaido, Chiba, Yamanashi, Aichi, and Kyoto Prefectures by 5 km mesh unit. The increase of deer density increased the probability of debarking of standing trees and decreased the coverage of understory vegetation. The probability of debarking also increased with the increase of small size of trees and deep snow depth and the coverage of understory vegetation decreased with the increase of slope and the decrease of now depth. Therefore, the probability of debarking and the coverage of understory vegetation are suggested to be appropriate indices for evaluating deer impact on vegetation but the effects of other factors like snow depth and slope should be considered to evaluate the meaning of these vegetation indices.

  Chronic overgrazing by sika deer has caused smaller body size due to density dependent resource limitation and various impacts on ecosystems. These involved feedback mechanism that available nitrogen for canopy tree increased and supplied litter with low C/N subject to degradation into soil. In addition, we found the complex changes in species diversity and phylogenetic diversity of vegetation, possibility of decrease in bumblebee population due to extinction of bloom phenology. For insects, the responses to high density of deer were different among taxon and functional group, and overgrazing by deer might cause negative feedback effects on insects which depend on understory vegetation through depression of food resources and habitat.

  To clarify the processes and mechanisms behind insular evolution of sika deer, we surveyed chronological change in life history, morphology and genetics of an introduced island population. Under resource limitation, the female sika deer exhibited delayed sexual maturity from yearlings to 3 years old and lower body mass when population density increased. After population reduction, the first age of pregnancy was advanced from 3 years old to 2 years old and body mass of adult female increased. Corresponding to changes in food, molar wear rate became faster after the first population crash. The size of molar dentition once decreased, however, increased thereafter. Effective population size as well as genetic diversity had once decreased, however, thereafter stabilized and increased, respectively. Theses results suggest the possibility of positive natural selection for morphology and genetics in the insular sika deer under resource limitation.

  The distribution area of sika deer (Cervus nippon) in Hokkaido has expanded from east to west during the 1990s and the 2000s. The genetic structure changed from 4 to 3 subpopulations based on mtDNA and from 5 to 3 subpopulations based on microsatellite DNA across the 15-year periods. The temporal change in mtDNA-based structure might be linked to the dispersal of female deer from higher (the northeast) to lower (the northwest) density area. In comparison, the change in microsatellite DNA-based structure might be linked to the bi妖irectional dispersal of males among subpopulations. The environmental barrios for deer movement or dispersal were estimated to be snow depth, large river, city area, fewer vegetation cover and higher elevation area based on the simulation model using the data of sighting per unit effort.

  Sika deer on Nakanoshima Island showed repeated the irruptionwhich imposed irreversible change on the vegetation. Thereafter high deer density (45-59 deer/km^2) was maintained by fallen leaves, which was an important food in all seasons, during 2008-2012. The nutrient value of fallen leaves was lower than dwarf bamboos, however, was important alternative resources which enable to maintain life and bodymass.

  ○コホート解析の手法に関する検討・改良
  コホート解析は捕獲数と自然死亡率をもとに過去の生息数を復元する手法である。自然死亡率を直接推定することは困難であるため、個体数指数とコホート分析を用いて、自然死亡率を間接的に推定する手法を見つけ出し、その結果、自然死亡率は子・成獣ともゼロに近いことを示唆した(平成17年度報告)。これまでは、網羅的に仮想的自然死亡率を挿入し、もっとも個体数指数と一致するような自然死亡率の条件を視覚的に見出しただけであったが、最小二乗法を用いた推定作業によって、統計的にもこの結果を裏づけることができた。また、コホート解析の専門家と協力し、より現実的なコホート方程式を作成し、精度の高い生息数復元をすることができた。
  ○エゾシカ捕獲数情報の個体数管理へのフィードバック
  ニホンジカにおいて、人間による捕獲(狩猟・有害駆除)が個体数を制限する主な死因であるため、個体数管理のモニタリング情報として捕獲数が把握されてきたが、捕獲数を死亡率に読み換える、フィードバック管理は十分にされていない。そこで、捕獲によるシカの齢別死亡率の定量化し、エゾシカ保護管理計画後と比較を行い、かつ死亡パターンが齢構成に与える影響を明らかにした。管理計画が開始される以前の1990-1993年において、死亡率は0.1以下と、個体群増加率に対し小さな制限効果であり、98年以降の管理計画の効果が明らかになった。死亡パターンについては、人間の捕獲に特徴的なパターンが見られたが(平成17年度報告)、齢構成を通じて出生率に影響を与えることはなかった。齢構成を大きくゆがめるほど、全体の死亡率が大きくないことが原因と考えられる。しかし、98年以降の管理計画による積極的な捕獲事業が齢構成に与える影響は、今後明らかにしていく必要がある。
