• The importance of evaluating standard monitoring methods: Observer bias and detection probabilities for moose pellet group surveys 

      Loosen, Anne Elizabeth; Devineau, Olivier; Zimmermann, Barbara; Mathisen, Karen Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Counting is not always a simple exercise. Specimens can be misidentified or not detected when they are present, giving rise to unidentified sources of error. Deer pellet group counts are a common method to monitor abundance, ...
    • Roads, forestry, and wolves interact to drive moose browsing behavior in Scandinavia 

      Loosen, Anne Elizabeth; Devineau, Olivier; Zimmermann, Barbara; Cromsigt, Joris P. G. M.; Pfeffer, Sabine; Skarpe, Christina; Mathisen, Karen Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      As wild ungulate densities increase across Europe and North America, plant–herbivore interactions are increasingly important from ecological and economic perspectives. These interactions are particularly significant where ...
    • The smell of success: Reproductive success related to rub behavior in brown bears 

      Morehouse, Andrea T.; Loosen, Anne Elizabeth; Graves, Tabitha A.; Boyce, Mark S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Several species of bears are known to rub deliberately against trees and other objects, but little is known about why bears rub. Patterns in rubbing behavior of male and female brown bears (Ursus arctos) suggest that scent ...
    • Spatial ecology of moose (Alces alces) in a dynamic world 

      Loosen, Anne Elizabeth (Ph.d-avhandlinger i anvendt økologi og bioteknologi; 4, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Denne avhandlingen tar for seg noen av de viktigste utfordringene for hovdyrforvaltning i det 21. århundre: arealbruk som bidrar til økt fôrproduksjon, rekolonisering av naturlige predatorer, klimaendringer og utfordringer ...
    • Ungulate-adapted forestry shows promise for alleviating pine browsing damage 

      Loosen, Anne Elizabeth; Devineau, Olivier; Skarpe, Christina; Zimmermann, Barbara; Cromsigt, Joris; Mathisen, Karen Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      High densities of ungulates can increase human-wildlife conflicts. Where forestry is an important economy, intensive browsing can lead to browsing damage, resulting in volume losses, poor stand regeneration, and reduced ...
