• Thermal and behavioural responses of moose to chemical immobilisation from a helicopter 

      Græsli, Anne Randi; Thiel, Alexandra; Beumer, Larissa Teresa; Fuchs, Boris; Stenbacka, Fredrik; Neumann, Wiebke; Singh, Navinder; Ericsson, Göran; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Instrumentation and sample collection for wildlife research and management may require chemical immobilisation of animals, which may entail physiological and behavioural efects on them. It is therefore important to evaluate ...
    • Toxic elements in arctic and sub-arctic brown bears: Blood concentrations of As, Cd, Hg and Pb in relation to diet, age, and human footprint 

      Fuchs, Boris; Joly, Kyle; Hilderbrand, Grant V.; Evans, Alina; Rodushkin, Ilia; Mangipane, Lindsey S.; Mangipane, Buck A.; Gustine, David D.; Zedrosser, Andreas; Brown, Ludovick; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Contamination with arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) is a global concern impairing resilience of organisms and ecosystems. Proximity to emission sources increases exposure risk but remoteness does ...
    • Translational implications of bradyarrhythmia in hibernating brown bears 

      Gottlieb, Lisa Amalie; Evans, Alina; Fuchs, Boris; Fröbert, Ole; Björkenheim, Anna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The brown bear Ursus arctos undergoes exceptional physiological adaptions during annual hibernation that minimize energy consumption, including profound decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, and respiratory rate. These ...
    • Vaginal temperature and collar activity variations in relation to fecal progestagens of captive moose 

      Høy-Petersen, Jennifer; Lemiere, Lucie; Thompson, Dan P.; Thiel, Alexandra; Crouse, John A.; Ropstad, Erik; Græsli, Anne Randi; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Timing of reproductive events can be crucial for a species’ population growth and stability. Accurate detection of reproductive phenology presents a challenge to scientists studying wild species, including moose ...
