Description

Our aim was to evaluate among-individual differences in habitat use of 64 GPS collared female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). To investigate whether deer differed in their habitat use tactics in relation to their personality type and their annual reproductive success, we assessed the link between individual habitat use patterns (the use of different habitat types, namely woodland, hedgerow, meadow, spring crop and autumn crop) with boldness (measured as the strength of behavioural responsiveness to handling) and annual reproductive success (measured by the presence/absence of fawns at heel during autumn). In the dataset, the Female.Status column corresponds to the reproductive status of a given female (successful vs unsuccessful) and its boldness (bold vs shy).
