      Gjensidige påvirkninger mellom rovdyr og byttedyr formes av flere ulike faktorer inklusive type landskap de lever i og rovdyrenes jaktmetode. I landskap påvirket av mennesker kan disse interaksjonene endres av aktiviteter ...
    • Habitat selection and longitudinal distribution patterns of sympatric sub-adult trout (Salmo trutta) and grayling (Thymallus thymallus) in two large northern rivers 

      Øistad, Sondre (Master thesis, 2014-12-02)
      Compared with wadeable streams there is little knowledge on habitat selection and distribution patterns of sub-adult fish in large rivers, because fish sampling and habitat measurements in large rivers are methodically ...
    • Identifying and correcting spatial bias in opportunistic citizen science data for wild ungulates in Norway 

      Cretois, Benjamin; Simmonds, Emily Grace; Linnell, John D. C.; van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer M.; Solberg, Erling J.; Strand, Olav; Gundersen, Vegard; Roer, Ole; Rød, Jan Ketil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Many publications make use of opportunistic data, such as citizen science observation data, to infer large-scale properties of species’ distributions. However, the few publications that use opportunistic citizen science ...
    • Influence of roads on space use by European hares in different landscapes 

      Mayer, Martin; Fischer, Christina; Blaum, Niels; Sunde, Peter; Ullmann, Wiebke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Context Roads are ubiquitous in human inhabited landscapes, and can impact animal movement and population dynamics, due to barrier effects, road mortality, but also by providing resources at road verges. Thus, we need a ...
    • Is there no place like home? Natal habitat-biased dispersal in the Scandinavian wolf 

      Pérez, Ana Sanz (Master thesis, 2016)
      Natal dispersal is an important mechanism for the viability of populations, as individuals should target the habitat where fitness will be higher. Dispersal theory has suggested that influence of local conditions on ...
    • LiDAR reveals a preference for intermediate visibility by a forest-dwelling ungulate species 

      Zong, Xin; Wang, Tiejun; Skidmore, Andrew K.; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Abstract 1. Visibility (viewshed) plays a significant and diverse role in animals' behaviour and fitness. Understanding how visibility influences animal behaviour requires the measurement of habitat visibility at spatial ...
    • Natal dispersal based on past and present environmental phenology in the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) 

      Hušek, Jan; Lampe, H.M; Slagsvold, T (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Natal dispersal allows individuals to reach suitable breeding sites. The effect of present plant phenology as a cue for dispersal into areas with favourable stages of development has been well established across avian ...
    • Temperature-mediated habitat use and selection by a heat-sensitive northern ungulate. 

      van Beest, Floris; van Moorter, Bram; Milner, Jos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      While the behavioural response of animals to unfavourable climatic conditions has received increased attention recently, most habitat selection studies nonetheless ignore effects of ambient temperature. Thermoregulatory ...
    • The role of colonization in the dynamics of patchy populations of a cyclic vole species 

      Glorvigen, Petter; Gundersen, Gry; Andreassen, Harry Peter; Ims, Rolf A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      The crash phase of vole populations with cyclic dynamics regularly leads to vast areas of uninhabited habitats. Yet although the capacity for cyclic voles to re-colonize such empty space is likely to be large and predicted ...
    • Vegetation type and demography of low density willow ptarmigan populations 

      Kvasnes, Mikkel Andreas Jørnsøn; Pedersen, Hans Christian; Storaas, Torstein; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) is an economically important and desired game species in Scandinavia. Its abundance varies considerably in time and space, but there has been a long-term population decline over recent ...
    • Wolf habitat selection when sympatric or allopatric with brown bears in Scandinavia 

      Ordiz Fernandez, Andres Avelino; Uzal, Antonio; Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Sanz-Perez, Ana; Zimmermann, Barbara; Wikenros, Camilla; Wabakken, Petter; Kindberg, Jonas; Swenson, Jon; Sand, Håkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Habitat selection of animals depends on factors such as food availability, landscape features, and intraand interspecific interactions. Individuals can show several behavioral responses to reduce competition for habitat, ...
    • Wolves, people, and brown bears influence the expansion of the recolonizing wolf population in Scandinavia 

      Ordiz, Andres; Milleret, Cyril; Kindberg, Jonas; Månsson, Johan; Wabakken, Petter; Swenson, Jon E.; Sand, Håkan (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 ...
