Abstract
Professor Valerius Geist was a world-renowned deer biologist who made important contributions to deer science, especially in the areas of animal behaviour, the evolution of cervids in the Pleistocene, and deer conservation. One of his greatest accomplishments was to define the core principles that have made wildlife management unique in North America. The deer science community deeply regrets his passing in 2021.
期刊介绍:
Research papers in Animal Production Science focus on improving livestock and food production, and on the social and economic issues that influence primary producers. The journal (formerly known as Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture) is predominantly concerned with domesticated animals (beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry); however, contributions on horses and wild animals may be published where relevant.
Animal Production Science is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
