Keywords: age structure; Alces alces; Cervus elaphus; camera trapping; damage to trees; pellet group counts; sex structure
Highlights: The study examines the interaction between sex-age structure of deer populations and forest damage throughout the country (Latvia); In pine stands, a higher female biased pellet group density index correlates with larger damage to pine trees through the browsing or debarking; Counting pellet groups and setting trail cameras both provide useful data on sex and age structure in moose and red deer populations that can be used for population monitoring.
