Abstract

The quadrennial International Deer Biology Congresses reflect the world-wide interest in the ecology, biology, and conservation biology of deer and use of cervine products. The origins and development of the International Deer Biology Congress are described in this article.

Keywords: antler science, cervine products, cervids, deer behaviour, deer conservation, deer distribution, deer ecology, deer management, deer nutrition, deer physiology, deer reproduction, ethology, evolution, feeding behaviour, genetics, mineral nutrition, phylogeny, Traditional Asian medicine, venison products.
