• Body mass is associated with hibernation length, body temperature, and heart rate in free-ranging brown bears 

      Evans, Alina; Fuchs, Boris; Singh, Navinder; Thiel, Alexandra; Giroud, Sylvain; Blanc, Stephane; Laske, Timothy G.; Frobert, Ole; Friebe, Andrea; Swenson, Jon; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Despite centuries of research, debate remains on the scaling of metabolic rate to mass especially for intraspecific cases. The high variation of body mass within brown bears presents a unique opportunity to ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
