Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snowcover and predator abundance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background ... -
Effects of camera-trap placement and number on detection of members of a mammalian assemblage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A central goal in camera-trapping (CT) studies is to maximize detection probability and precision of occupancy estimates while minimizing the number of CTs to reduce equipment and labor costs. Few studies, however, have ... -
Environmental and anthropogenic features mediate risk from human hunters and wolves for moose
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Landscape characteristics, seasonal changes in the environment, and daylight conditions influence space use and detection of prey and predators, resulting in spatiotemporal patterns of predation risk for the prey. When ... -
Humans rather than Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) shape ungulate browsing patterns in a temperate forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The recolonization of human-dominated landscapes by large carnivores has been followed with considerable scientific interest; however, little is known about their interactive effect on ungulate foraging behavior. This study ... -
Improving broad scale forage mapping and habitat selection analyses with airborne laser scanning: the case of moose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Determining the spatial distribution of large herbivores is a key challenge in ecology and management. However, our ability to accurately predict this is often hampered by inadequate data on available forage and structural ... -
Linking resource availability and habitat structure to stream organisms: an experimental and observational assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)An experiment and a mark-recapture field study of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were conducted to identify controls of key energy flow chains in river food webs. In the small-scale experiment, we investigated ... -

Mammal responses to predator scents across multiple study areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Antipredator behaviors allow prey to mitigate the impacts of their predators. We investigated antipredator responses of two herbivore species, roe deer and European hare, and one mesopredator, red fox, toward predation ... -
Roads, forestry, and wolves interact to drive moose browsing behavior in Scandinavia
(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 complexity of interacting nutritional drivers behind food selection, a review of northern cervids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The research literature on food selection by large herbivores is extensive. Still, we are generally lacking in our knowledge of the influence of potentially interacting chemical contents of the food. We made a qualitative ... -
Wolves, people, and brown bears influence the expansion of the recolonizing wolf population in Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Interspecific competition can influence the distribution and abundance of species and the structure of ecological communities and entire ecosystems. Interactions between apex predators can have cascading effects through ... -
