• The cost of research: Lasting effects of capture, surgery and muscle biopsy on brown bear (Ursus arctos) movement and physiology 

      Thiel, Alexandra; Hertel, Anne Gabriela; Giroud, Sylvain; Friebe, Andrea; Fuchs, Boris; Kindberg, Jonas; Græsli, Anne Randi; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Animal models are a key component of translational medicine, helping transfer scientific findings into practical applications for human health. A fundamental principle of research ethics involves weighing the benefits of ...
    • Drivers of hibernation in the brown bear 

      Evans, Alina L.; Singh, N.J.; Friebe, A.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Laske, T.G.; Fröbert, O.; Swenson, Jon E.; Blanc, S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Background: Hibernation has been a key area of research for several decades, essentially in small mammals in the laboratory, yet we know very little about what triggers or ends it in the wild. Do climatic factors, an ...
    • Physiological and behavioural responses of moose to hunting with dogs 

      Græsli, Anne Randi; Le Grand, Luc; Thiel, Alexandra; Fuchs, Boris; Devineau, Olivier; Stenbacka, Fredrik; Neumann, Wiebke; Ericsson, Göran; Singh, Navinder J.; Laske, Timothy G.; Beumer, Larissa Teresa; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Optimal management of hunted species requires an understanding of the impacts of hunting on both individual animal and population levels. Recent technological advancements in biologging enable us to obtain increasingly ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
