Abstract

Red deer feces was collected from the National Forest Park at east Tianshan mountains and Karawushen mountains to study the sex ratio and home range using noninvasive method. The sex ratio was 1.78:1-2.89:1 obtained by SRY gene identification, and 1.62:1-2.40:1 by morphological identification of the feces, which do not differ significantly by T-test. The home ranges of male and female red deer were 1.02-1.57 km2 and 1.57-1.71 km2, respectively, without significant difference. The home ranges of some deer were overlapped in the National Forest Park at east Tianshan mountains, which is decided by their habits and characteristics.
