The predicted (± 95% confidence limits) roe deer growth rate (r) in relation to roe deer density index (number roe deer pellet groups per 10 m²) and the effect of lynx re-colonization (upper line indicates the before lynx re-colonization (1985–1995) and the lower line after lynx re-colonization (1996–2005)).

<p>The black dot shows the mean roe deer density and predicted roe deer growth rate before lynx re-colonization and the open dot shows mean roe deer density and predicted roe deer growth rate after lynx re-colonization.
