• Behavioral and Physiological Responses of Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) to Dog Hunts and Human Encounters 

      Le Grand, Luc; Thorsen, Neri Horntvedt; Fuchs, Boris; Evans, Alina L.; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Sæbø, Solve; Støen, Ole-Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Innovations in biologging have offered new possibilities to better understand animals in their natural environment. Biologgers can be used by researchers to measure the impact of human disturbances on wildlife and guide ...
    • 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 ...
    • Development and utilization of implantable cardiac monitors in free-ranging American black and Eurasian brown bears: System evolution and lessons learned 

      Laske, Timothy G.; Evans, Alina L.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Iles, Tinen L.; Ditmer, Mark A.; Fröbert, Ole; Garshelis, David L.; Iaizzo, Paul A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
    • Movement and heart rate in the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos) 

      Blanchet, Leslie; Fuchs, Boris; Støen, Ole-Gunnar; Bergouignan, Audrey; Ordiz, Andres; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Evans, Alina L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Understanding animal movement facilitates better management and conservation. The link between movement and physiology holds clues to the basic drivers of animal behaviours. In bears, heart rate increases with ...
    • 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 ...
    • Physiological evidence for a human-induced landscape of fear in brown bears (Ursus arctos) 

      Støen, Ole Gunnar; Ordiz, Andres; Evans, Alina L.; Laske, Timothy G.; Kindberg, Jonas; Fröbert, Ole; Swenson, Jon E.; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Human persecution is a major cause of mortality for large carnivores. Consequently, large carnivores avoid humans, but may use human-dominated landscapes by being nocturnal and elusive. Behavioral studies indicate that ...
    • Physiological reactions to capture in hibernating brown bears 

      Evans, Alina L.; Singh, Navinder J.; Fuchs, Boris; Blanc, Stephane; Friebe, Andrea; Laske, Timothy G.; Frobert, Ole; Swenson, Jon E.; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Human disturbance can affect animal life history and even population dynamics. However, the consequences of these disturbances are difficult to measure. This is especially true for hibernating animals, which are highly ...
    • Retention and loss of PIT tags and surgically implanted devices in the Eurasian beaver 

      Mayer, Martin; Fuchs, Boris; Robstad, Christian; Evans, Alina; Perrin, Kathryn; Greunz, Eva M.; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Rosell, Frank Narve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Passive integrated transponder devices (PIT tags) are a valuable tool for individual identification of animals. Similarly, the surgical implantation of transmitters and bio-loggers can provide useful data on animal location, ...
    • 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 ...
