      Background: Sarcoptic mange, a parasitic disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is regularly reported on wolves Canis lupus in Scandinavia. We describe the distribution and transmission of this parasite within the ...
    • Sarcoptic mange in the Scandinavian wolf population 

      Fuchs, Boris (Master thesis, 2014-09-29)
      Sarcoptic mange, a parasitic disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is epidemic in red foxes Vulpes vulpes and reported on wolves Canis lupus in Scandinavia. The small, inbred wolf population of Scandinavia might ...
    • Seasonal Hypometabolism in Female Moose 

      Græsli, Anne Randi; Thiel, Alexandra; Fuchs, Boris; Singh, Navinder J.; Stenbacka, Fredrik; Ericsson, Göran; Neumann, Wiebke; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      How animals respond to a changing environment is a key question in ecological research. Animals living at higher latitudes are exposed to pronounced seasonal differences in both climate and in resource availability. ...
    • Seasonality in Biological Rhythms in Scandinavian brown Bears 

      Thiel, Alexandra; Giroud, Sylvain; Hertel, Anne Gabriela; Friebe, Andrea; Devineau, Olivier; Fuchs, Boris; Blanc, Stephane; Støen, Ole-Gunnar; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Biological rhythms, such as rhythms in activity and body temperature, are usually highly synchronized and entrained by environmental conditions, such as photoperiod. However, how the expression of these rhythms changes ...
    • A serological screening for potential viral pathogens among semi-domesticated Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Finland 

      Tryland, Morten; Cunha, Cristina Wetzel; Fuchs, Boris; Breines, Eva Marie; Li, Hong; Jokelainen, Pikka; Laaksonen, Sauli (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Abstract Background Reindeer herding and husbandry is a traditional and important livelihood in Fennoscandia, and about 200,000 semi-domesticated reindeer are herded in Finland. Climatic changes, leading to ice-locked ...
    • A Standardized Method for Experimental Human Approach Trials on Wild Wolves 

      Eriksen, Ane; Versluijs, Erik; Fuchs, Boris; Zimmermann, Barbara; Wabakken, Petter; Ordiz, Andres; Sunde, Peter; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Gillich, Benjamin; Michler, Frank; Nordli, Kristoffer; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Gorini, Lucrezia; Rieger, Siegfried (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      As wolves recolonize areas of Europe ranging from moderate to high anthropogenic impact, fear of wolves is a recurring source of conflict. Shared tools for evaluating wolf responses to humans, and comparing such responses ...
    • 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)
