      The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that energy intake for ungulates is maximised when forage biomass is at intermediate levels. Nevertheless, metabolic allometry and different digestive systems suggest that ...
    • 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 ...
    • Distribution, prevalence and intensity of moose nose bot fly (Cephenemyia ulrichii) larvae in moose (Alces alces) from Norway
