    • Activity patterns of predator and prey : a simultaneous study of GPS-collared wolves and moose 

      Eriksen, Ane; Wabakken, Petter; Zimmermann, Barbara; Andreassen, Harry Peter; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Gundersen, Hege; Liberg, Olof; Linnell, John; Milner, Jos M.; Pedersen, Hans Christian; Sand, Håkan; Solberg, Erling J.; Storaas, Torstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We studied the simultaneous activity patterns of a breeding wolf, Canis lupus, pair and five adult moose, Alces alces, cows from April to November 2004 in a wolf territory in southeastern Norway. All study animals were GPS ...

    • Boom and bust of a moose population – a call for integrated forest management 

      Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris M.; Storaas, Torstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      There is increasing pressure to manage forests for multiple objectives, including ecosystem services and biodiversity, alongside timber production. However, few forests are currently co-managed for timber and ...

    • Culling calves 

      Milner, Jos M.; Mysterud, Atle (Journal article, 2010)
      The shooting of calves or fawns can be a controversial matter. While in some countries the consensus among deer managers for the culling of calves is clear, it is often less clear exactly why. Jos Milner & Atle Mysterud ...

    • Demographic side effects of selective hunting in ungulates and carnivores 

      Milner, Jos M.; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Andreassen, Harry Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007)
      Selective harvesting regimes are often implemented because age and sex classes contribute differently to population dynamics and hunters show preferences associated with body size and trophy value. We reviewed the ...

    • Ecological correlates of a tick-borne disease, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, in moose in southern Norway 

      Milner, Jos M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      As the distribution and abundance of ticks increase, so do the risks of tick-borne diseases. Anaplasma phagocytophilum, transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks, is a widespread tick-borne infection causing tick-borne fever (TBF) ...

    • Effects of habitat selection & supplementary feeding on moose body weight & reproduction 

      Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris Michiel; Storaas, Torstein (Conference object, 2008-08)
      The effects of forage availability, winter supplementary feeding and habitat selection on moose body condition, reproductive rates and autumn slaughter weights are being studied in two locations in south-east Norway. GPS ...

    • Effects of supplementary feeding on moose (Alces alces) body weight, reproduction & habitat selection 

      Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris Michiel; Storaas, Torstein (Conference object, 2010-08)
      The effects of forage availability, winter supplementary feeding and habitat selection on moose body condition, reproductive rates and autumn slaughter weights are being studied in two locations in south-east Norway. GPS ...

    • Endoparasites in a Norwegian moose (Alces alces) population – Faunal diversity, abundance and body condition 

      Davidson, Rebecca K.; Licina, Tina; Gorini, Lucrezia; Milner, Jos M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Many health surveillance programs for wild cervids do not include routine parasite screening despite evidence that gastrointestinal parasites can affect wildlife population dynamics by influencing host fecundity and survival. ...

    • Gastrointestinal nematodes of moose (Alces Alces) in relation to supplementary feeding 

      Milner, Jos M.; Wedul, Sari J.; Laaksonen, Sauli; Oksanen, Antti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Winter supplementary feeding of wildlife is controversial because it may promote parasite and disease transmission by host aggregation. We investigated the effect of winter supplemental feeding of Scandinavian moose ...

    • Hunting Bambi : evaluating the basis for selective harvesting of juveniles 

      Milner, Jos M.; Bonefant, Christophe; Mysterud, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Human harvesting is often a major mortality factor and, hence, an important proximate factor driving the population dynamics of large mammals. Several selective harvesting regimes focus on removing animals with low ...

    • Hunting moose or keeping sheep? - Producing meat in areas with carnivores 

      Milner, Jos M.; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Wabakken, Petter; Storaas, Torstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      Moose hunting is of considerable economic and social importance in much of Scandinavia. In some parts, such as south-east Norway, it is economically more important than sheep farming. We examine trends in moose harvesting ...

    • Improving broad scale forage mapping and habitat selection analyses with airborne laser scanning: the case of moose 

      Lone, Karen; van Beest, Floris M.; Mysterud, Atle; Gobakken, Terje; Milner, Jos M.; Ruud, Hans-Petter; Loe, Leif Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Determining the spatial distribution of large herbivores is a key challenge in ecology and management. However, our ability to accurately predict this is often hampered by inadequate data on available forage and structural ...

    • Is heavy browsing a threat to biodiversity in a boreal ecosystem? 

      Milner, Jos M.; Mathisen, Karen Marie (Conference object, 2010-03)
      Herbivore numbers have been increasing across Europe and North America in recent decades, with implications for whole ecosystems including impacts on biodiversity. Moose populations in Scandinavia are no exception, leading ...

    • Long-term browsing impact around diversionary feeding stations for moose in Southern Norway 

      van Beest, Floris Michiel; Gundersen, Hege; Mathisen, Karen Marie; Milner, Jos M.; Skarpe, Christina (Conference object, 2010)

    • Long-term effects of supplementary feeding of moose on browsing impact at a landscape scale 

      Mathisen, Karen Marie; Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris M.; Skarpe, Christina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Supplementary feeding of wildlife is a common management practice, increasingly used to reduce or divert herbivore impact from sensitive habitats, forestry or agriculture. The landscape-scale spatial distribution of ...
