EUropean ROe DEER is an open, bottom-up project joined by 33 research centres and environmental institutes to promote collaborative science based on knowledge and data sharing to investigate the movement ecology of European deer in their different habitats and management regimes
The EUROUNGULATES network of projects for data and knowledge sharing has grown bigger including new species and has been replaced by EUROMAMMALS that targets...
The family grows quickly! Another project joined the network: European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris). The website www.eurowildcat.org is already online....
An intense one-week course with a mix of technical lectures and hands-on exercises to handle and manipulate spatial data typically used in Movement and...
The AfriMove project is born! It aims to investigate the movement ecology of African wildlife. EuroUngulates has offered support in the founding phase of AfriMove, and...

EURODEER is an open project and anyone is welcome to join. If you study roe deer or other deer species and have roe deer movement data or other kind of data to share with us, or are simply interested in the project, please get in contact.
According to EURODEER terms of use, data can be accessed only by those who contribute with data of some kind. The use of data is always bounded to preliminary agreement with data owners.
The main focus of the database is tracking data (i.e. GPS, VHF, activity) of roe deer, but a wide range of other information on population, study areas, capture, hunting regimes etc is available and standardized among different research groups. Moreover, the database integrates many environmental dataset like smoothed MODIS NDVI, CORINE land cover maps, meteo data, DEM, among the others. Data from other biotelemetry devices might come in the future.
EURODEER financial resources come from the voluntary contributions of each partner. On top of this, in the last years Vectronic Aerospace GmbH has generously sponsored many of the EURODEER activities. EURODEER is currently applying for granting opportunities and collaborations in this sense are very welcome.
No, you don't have to. Participation is free and the goal is to create a network to produce collaborative science. That said, in addition to a scientific coordinator (Francesca Cagnacci), a team made of a database developer and 2 data curators works part time on the project to update the platform, run data quality check and support groups for specific analysis. They are paid with the money coming from the sponsor and the voluntary contributions from partners, so everyone is encouraged to contribute according to his financial possibilities.
There is one project (EURODEER) for roe and red deer, but there are two (connected) databases and websites that are species-specific (EURODEER and EUREDDEER). EUROBOAR is a separate (but federated and connected) project dedicated to wild boar. The umbrella project that coordinates all the projects/databases is EUROUNGULATES.
