Webster, J.R. (1994) Regulation of blood glucose in red deer stags (Cervus elaphus)
International Deer Biology Congress
This paper looks at the regulation of blood glucose levels in stags as a result of season. These changes may explain the seasonal growth pattern in red deer stags

Asher, G. W. (1992) Relationship between the onset of oestrus, the preovulatory surge in luteinizing hormone and ovulation following oestrus syncronisation and superovulation of farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus)
To improve the effectiveness of artificial insemination and embryo transfer of red deer, this study attempted to determine the incidence and timing of ovulation relative to removal of CIDR devices, the onset of oestrus and the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge for the induction of a monovulatory response or superovulatory response
