Movement across scales: red fox spatial ecology
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Rødrevens forflytningsmønster på forskjellige romlige skalaer Menneskelig påvirkning på naturlige habitater kan medføre reduserte bevegelsesmuligheter for noen dyrearter, eller fasilitere typiske generalister som rødrev ... -
Molt stage, wing bar patterns and digital photography as tools for assessing age distribution and recognizing individuals of Great Grey and Snowy Owls
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)The world is heating up. The climate is changing, with increasing temperature changes towards the Arctic. Northern ecosystems of tundra and taiga are subject to changes, even in the most remote areas void of human presence. ... -
Grazing behaviour and weight performance of free-ranging cattle in the boreal forest
(PhD thesis in applied ecology;18, Doctoral thesis, 2019)En økende interesse for norsk storfekjøttproduksjon basert på utenlandske kjøttferaser har ført til en økning i antall ammekyr på beite i utmarka. Mine hovedmål var å undersøke beiteadferd og vektutvikling hos disse dyrene ... -
Forest rehabilitation, biodiversity and ecosystem services in Java, Indonesia
(PhD thesis in applied ecology;17, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Planting av trær i degraderte områder er en viktig restaureringsstrategi for å øke forsyningen av økosystemtjenester. Når vi planter spesifikke arter for enkelte formål, for eksempel tømmerproduksjon, kaller vi det ... -
Ecology of Snow Leopards in the Central Himalayas, Nepal
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is an elusive large carnivore distributed in the mountains of Central Asia. The highly camouflaged fur and harsh environment of the cat’s habitat have made ecological studies challenging. ... -
Population dynamics of grouse in the Nordic countries
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)Populasjonsdynamikk bestemmes av både romslige og tidsmessige forandringer av antall individer. Disse dimensjonene er avhengig av hverandre. Innvandring, utvandring, og overlevelse er tre av de fire demografiske komponenter ... -
Seasonal- and phase-dependent effects on vole population dynamics
(Doctoral thesis, 2018)Populasjonssykluser hos smågnagere er en viktig komponent i det boreale barskogsøkosystemet på de nordlige breddegrader. Mange hypoteser har blitt beskrevet for å forsøke å forklare disse sykliske svingningene, men predasjon, ... -
Determinant factors for mesocarnivore distribution patterns along a gradient of anthropogenic influence
(PhD in Applied Ecology;, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Økning i den menneskelige befolkningen og klimaforandringer kan påvirke utbredelsen, sammensetning, og bevegelsesmønster hos viltlevende dyr, og endre ulike arters realiserte nisje. Effekten av disse endringene på arter ... -
Hunting management of a red listed small game species on public land in Norway
(PhD in Applied ecology;, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Å sikre en bærekraftig høsting av liryper (Lagopus lagopus), en populær og nå rødlistet småviltart, er en krevende oppgave. Rypene har potensial for en rask bestandsvekst og bestandsdataene er ofte usikre. Det er vanskelig ... -
Short- and long-term physiological effects of capture and handling on free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos)
(Doctoral thesis, 2017)Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are captured and handled for conservation, research or management purposes. However, capture and handling have potential to cause injury and stress, thus, negatively impacting an animal’s health. ... -
The role of nest predation and nest predators in population declines of capercaillie and black grouse
(Doctoral thesis, 2017)I det sammenhengende Fennoskandiske barskogbeltet har storfugl- (Tetrao urogallus) og orrfuglbestandene (Lyrurus tetrix) gått ned over tid, og toppene i de sykliske svingningene har blitt mer uregelmessige og lavere. At ... -
Browsing by giraffe in heterogeneous savanna
(Doctoral thesis, 2017)Understanding foraging behaviour of wild animals is an important step for wildlife management and conservation and for learning the animal’s role in the ecosystem. I used Maasai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi ... -
Spatial ecology of wolves in Scandinavia : From spatio-temporal dynamics of wolf pairs to wolf population dynamics
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-30)Understanding how spatial and temporal variations shape populations is necessary to develop trustworthy conservation and management planning. In this thesis, I used individual-based long-term monitoring data of the ... -
Hunter characteristics and preferences for harvest control rules
(PHD in applied ecology;3/2015, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-26)My thesis is concerned with improving harvest management of ptarmigans and red deer by increased understanding of hunters’ preferences and by developing hunter typologies. These species where chosen to illustrate two ... -
Attitudes towards large carnivores and acceptance of illegal hunting : the importance of social attitudes and scales in large carnivore management
(2-2014;PhD in applied ecology, Doctoral thesis, 2014-05-14)Human population growth is escalating, threatening the conservation of wildlife and natural wildlife habitats as we face a growing demand for natural resources and areas for human land use. Wildlife managers cannot focus ... -
Predatory behaviour of wolves in Scandinavia
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2014)The study of predatory behaviour is essential for understanding the interactions that may affect the behaviour and population dynamics of the species involved and consequent cascading ecosystem effects. In the case of large ...
