Scavenger community structure along an environmental gradient from boreal forest to alpine tundra in Scandinavia
Gomo, Gjermund; Rød-Eriksen, Lars; Andreassen, Harry Peter; Mattisson, Jenny; Odden, Morten; Devineau, Olivier; Eide, Nina Elisabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Scavengers can have strong impacts on food webs, and awareness of their role in ecosystems has increased during the last decades. In our study, we used baited cam-era traps to quantify the structure of the winter scavenger ... -
Scavenging on a pulsed resource: quality matters for corvids but density for mammals
Gomo, Gjermund; Mattisson, Jenny; Hagen, Bjørn Roar; Moa, Pål Fossland; Willebrand, Tomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Human food subsidies can provide predictable food sources in large quantities for wildlife species worldwide. In the boreal forest of Fennoscandia, gut piles from moose (Alces alces) harvest provide a potentially ... -
Spatiotemporal patterns of red fox scavenging in forest and tundra: the influence of prey fluctuations and winter conditions
Gomo, Gjermund; Mattisson, Jenny; Rød-Eriksen, Lars; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Odden, Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Concern has been raised regarding red fox (Vulpes Vulpes) population increase and range expansion into alpine tundra, directly and indirectly enhanced by human activities, including carrion supply, and its negative impact ... -
The Vertebrate Scavenger Community Along a Boreal Forest-Alpine Gradient: The Importance of Ungulate Management, Small Rodent Cycles and Winter Climate
Gomo, Gjermund (Ph.d-avhandlinger i anvendt økologi og bioteknologi; 2, Doctoral thesis, 2020)While the importance of carrion and scavenging is increasingly acknowledged, there are relatively few empirical studies of the scavenging community in Fennoscandia. There is limited knowledge on how habitat and potentially ...
