Food composition and feeding habits of the roe deer in winter in central Finland

The food composition and feeding habits of the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus Linnaeus, 1758) were studied from October to April in the winters of 1975/76 and 1976/77 at Muhos in Finland (ca. 65°N, 26°E). The food composition was determined microscopically from pellets and by tracing tracks of the roe deer in the snow.
