(Master thesis, 2024)This thesis presents an examination of game management practices by mountain boards in Norway, specifically focusing on the management of two ptarmigan species, the rock ptarmigan and the willow ptarmigan. The objectives ... -
Mercury and selenium in wild mink (Neovison vison), evaluating concentrations molar ratio and associations with forestry intensity in Innlandet County Norway
(Master thesis, 2024)Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that is found to bioaccumulate and biomagnify in food webs across ecosystems. Monitoring of mercury and creating background levels for different areas is an important part of conservation and ... -
Mercury Concentrations in Cormorants: A Study on Bioavailability and the Impact of Forestry Intensity in Innlandet, Norway
(Master thesis, 2024)Mercury is a highly toxic compound and a significant environmental pollutant. MeHg is of particular interest because of its high bioavailability. This study analyses the mercury concentration of cormorants (Phalacrocorax ... -
Micro habitat selection by beef cattle on summer pasture in boreal forest, south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Grazing systems are diverse. With a low percentage of the land area being suitable for agriculture, forest grazing is an important part of livestock husbandry in Norway. While many studied focus on the effects of forest ... -
Micro-scale selection of winter dens by brown bear (Ursus arctos) males in Southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)Den selection is a component of habitat selection, which occurs on several spatial scales. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) in the northern latitudes hibernate in dens during winter, which is their way to survive the period of ... -
Micronized tire rubber contamination load in the three-spined sticklebackck (Gasterosteus aculeatus) intestine in the Lake Engervann, brackish water lagoon.
(Master thesis, 2022)Abstract Microplastics particles such as micronized tire rubber are present widely in the aquatic ecosystem and possess great threat to wide range of aquatic organisms. Many aquatic creatures swallow microplastics because ... -
Modeling of sampling designs for peary caribou survey in Bathurst Island complex Canada
(Master thesis, 2014-09-29)Sustainability of wildlife resources requires effective management strategies. Unbiased estimation of wildlife populations through efficient survey methodology is therefore crucial in formulating effective wildlife management ... -
Modelling Current and Future Distribution of Triturus cristatus and Lissotriton vulgaris using Maximum Entropy Approach in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Species distribution models deal with the occurrence or abundance of a species along with the environmental factors at a location to predict the present and future distribution of the species. Based on the occurrence records ... -
Modelling population dynamics of the African Buffalo Syncerus caffer using data on population estimates, harvest and rainfall from the Selous – Mikumi Ecosystem, Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2013)Knowledge on the population dynamics of African buffalo is a prerequisite for developing its successful harvest strategy. Acquiring such knowledge requires among others the use of population models which reveals important ... -
Monitoring reproduction in moose by use of unmanned aircraft system: - detectability, effectivity and behavioral responses
(Master thesis, 2022)Å forbedre metoder for blant annet tetthet- og reproduksjons studier er en del av forvaltningen og forskningens ansvar. Å utvikle og teste ny teknologi som kan forstyrre dyrene i mindre grad, men også være mer effektiv I ... -
Moose (Alces alces) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) at winter feeding stations : interspecific avoidance in space and time?
(Master thesis, 2012)A recent increase in the red deer (Cervus elaphus) population in Eastern Norway has raised concern among hunters and landowners that the red deer may outcompete and suppress the economically important moose (Alces alces). ... -
Moose (Alces alces) flight response when disturbed by off-track skiing
(Master thesis, 2019)Wildlife face high potential to be disturbed by humans due to habitat loss and increasing popularity of recreational activities. Animals respond to the human disturbance as the risk of getting predated was real. The responses ... -
Moose (Alces alces) foraging decisions and habitat use during winter, at five spatial scales
(Master thesis, 2014-09-29)1. Forage availability is a strong tool for predicting large herbivore distribution and habitat use throughout different spatial scales. Yet, no large scale study has been executed where real biomass availability of palatable ... -
Moose on the loose - Habitat selection of Scandinavian moose in relation to waterbodies
(Master thesis, 2024)Terrestrial mammals are in many ways connected to water, although studies on habitat selection within anthropogenic landscapes often overlook the importance of natural waterbodies. Moose (Alces alces) occur throughout large ... -
Moose Parasites in Relation to Supplementary Feeding
(Master thesis, 2011)English: In this study, I tested the effect of winter supplemental feeding of moose (Alces alces) on gastrointestinal parasite infection in two counties in Norway, by comparing faecal egg counts of moose which used and did ... -
Moose POV: Activity budgets in relation to hunting and wolf predation risk
(Master thesis, 2024)Induced fear by predation risk can alter prey behaviour and impact the prey’s energy balance, with possible consequences on the population level. Alongside environmental changes and human disturbance, Scandinavian moose ... -
Mortality Dynamics Across Time and Site Class Gradient
(Master thesis, 2022)Abstract Forest poses an important role by providing multiple ecological services such as regulating climate, recycling nutrients, and carbon-storing etc. These services are highly dependent on the existing forest dynamics ... -
Navigating the Red Fox’s Cognitive Map : How recursive use of resource locations influence movement patterns and the notion of a home range.
(Master thesis, 2018)The size and location of an animal’s home range is considered fundamental to the understanding of a species’ dispersion and spatio-ecological requirements. Recent studies suggest that memory and recursive movement strategies ... -
Non-native brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) in an urban fragmented stream : Migration, growth, survival, and size at maturation
(Master thesis, 2012)English: Urbanization is a serious threat to stream ecosystems. Culverts fragment habitats, and can function as migration barriers. If migratory individuals are prevented to move between important habitats, this could ...
