      Versluijs, Erik; Niccolai, Laura Jeanne; Spedener, Mélanie; Zimmermann, Barbara; Hessle, Anna; Tofastrud, Morten; Devineau, Olivier; Evans, Alina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Precision farming technology, including GPS collars with biologging, has revolutionized remote livestock monitoring in extensive grazing systems. High resolution accelerometry can be used to infer the behavior of an animal. ...
    • Slettåsulvenes atferd i forhold til menneskelig bosetting gjennom et helt år: Utredning om ulv og bosetting del 6 

      Zimmermann, Barbara; Wabakken, Petter; Eriksen, Ane; Maartmann, Erling; Carricondo-Sanchez, David; Versluijs, Erik; Sand, Håkan; Wikenros, Camilla (Skriftserien;13/2018, Research report, 2019)
      Etter at Slettåsulvene i 2009 etablerte revir i et område som har vært tomt for ynglende ulv i trolig over hundre år, har det vært en vedvarende konflikt om ulvers atferd i forhold til bosetting. Slettåsulvene ble av lokalt ...
    • Small rodent monitoring at Birkebeiner road, Norway 

      Neby, Magne; Andreassen, Harry Peter; Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Pedersen, Simen; Tamayo, Ana-Maria; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Versluijs, Erik; Zimmermann, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background. Northern small mammal populations are renowned for their multi-annual population cycles. Population cycles are multi-faceted and have extensive impacts on the rest of the ecosystem. In 2011, we started a ...
    • 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 ...
    • Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data 

      Versluijs, Erik; Eriksen, Ane; Fuchs, Boris; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Zimmermann, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Humans pose a major mortality risk to wolves. Hence, similar to how prey respond to predators, wolves can be expected to show anti-predator responses to humans. When exposed to a threat, animals may show a fight, flight, ...
    • Wolf-human interaction: a method and pilot study for experimental human approaches on wild, GPScollared wolves 

      Versluijs, Erik (Master thesis, 2020)
      Wolves are recolonising human-dominated landscapes, which increases conflicts as people express fear based on the perception that wolves are dangerous and unpredictable. Increasing knowledge about behavioural responses of ...
