(Master thesis, 2013)Willow ptarmigan is a popular game species for recreational hunting purpose throughout its range and long term harvest statistics are available for many areas. For the State owned land in Sweden hunting report rates are ... -
Quantification of food waste disposal in developed and developing countries: A Meta-Analysis
(Master thesis, 2022)Matsvinn er et aktuelt problem, der avfall genereres gjennom alle ledd i verdikjeden, og dette skjer i så vel utviklede som utviklingsland. Økende bekymring for matsikkerhet og miljøpåvirkninger tilskrevet matsvinn på grunn ... -
Recovery from experimental disturbance in alpine vegetation communities in central Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)Human activity has increased in alpine environments during the last decades and is expected to continue to increase. Alpine habitats are highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance, such as trampling or motorized ... -
Resource-use of crucian carp (Carassius carassius) in lakes with different predation risk
(Master thesis, 2020)Predator fish and prey its prey can have considerable effect on fish communities and can affect the behavior of its prey. stable isotope of carbon (d13C) and nitrogen (d15N can provide as a powerful and useful tool for ... -
Rock Ptarmigans (Lagopus muta) last stand A study on habitat suitability in the southern mountains in Sweden
(Master thesis, 2024)Suitable habitat is a key factor in a species' distribution and is essential for management and conservation assessment. The rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) inhabits mountain ranges across the northern hemisphere but is ... -
“Same procedure as last year” - Fidelity to seasonal migration routes in a temperate ungulate
(Master thesis, 2024)Norge utvider sin infrastruktur over hele landet, og en konsekvens av dette er tap av habitat for viltlevende dyr. Dette kan true en strategi i dyrelivet, kalt migrasjon. Norsk hjort lever i ett land med store forskjeller ... -

(Master thesis, 2014-09-29)Sarcoptic mange, a parasitic disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, is epidemic in red foxes Vulpes vulpes and reported on wolves Canis lupus in Scandinavia. The small, inbred wolf population of Scandinavia might ... -
Scavenger community on wolf-killed ungulates in the boreal forest in south-east Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Åtselspising er en av flere fôringsstrategier for å utnytte matressurser, og en viktig økologisk prosess i nedbrytingen. Bruk av åter er vanlig i perioder med miljøstress, for eksempel ved mangel på byttedyrarter, og som ... -
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) phytochemistry predicts male capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) browsing during winter
(Master thesis, 2020)During winter, the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) faces harsh conditions with only heavily digestible food available. To cope with this, these birds consume large volumes to compensate for the low levels of digestible ... -
Seasonal variation of spirurian nematode Mastophorus muris in water voles (Arvicola amphibius) in southern Sweden
(Master thesis, 2015)I studied the spirurian nematode (Mastophorus muris) in water voles (Arvicola amphibius) in southern Sweden. Limited information is known about this nematode particularly in water voles. Trapping was done using topcats in ... -
Sexual segregation in foraging of greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) in a heterogeneous savanna, in Chobe National Park, Botswana
(Master thesis, 2012)Sexual segregation is common in ungulates and is generally related to differences in body size. Often males are larger than females, and the sexes live in separate groups outside the breeding season. I tested the season ... -
Sexual segregation in the African elephant (Loxodonta africana): a habitat and seasonal perspective
(Master thesis, 2015)Sexual segregation refers to when male and females of the same species live in separate groups when they are not mating. This behavior is displayed in species that are sexually dimorphic and the African elephant (Loxodonta ... -
Short term effects of capture on movements in free-ranging wolves (Canis lupus) in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2016)Remote monitoring of wild animals by radio-tags and bio-sensors is frequently applied in wildlife research, monitoring and management. These methods require capture and often anaesthesia of animals that in turn may affect ... -
Short-term effects of capture on movement of free-ranging Scandinavian brown bears
(Master thesis, 2020)Research of free-ranging wildlife often involves capture and chemical immobilization of animals. Such an invasive and stressful procedure may cause alterations in the animals’ physiology and behavior. Thus, evaluating the ... -
Spatial and temporal movement patterns of wolverine (Gulo gulo) females during the denning period in the boreal coniferous forest
(Master thesis, 2022)Kunnskap om hvordan individer beveger seg i tid og rom i ulike årstider er viktig fordi det påvirker både bestandsstrukturen og hvordan individene er fordelt i landskapet. Reproduksjon kan påvirke individers romlige og ... -
Spatial dynamics of Norwegian tetraonid populations : as reviled by hunting statistics
(Master thesis, 2009)Species in a given site, or populations of one species in different sites often fluctuate in synchrony, given that their affected similarly by factors such as spatially autocorrelated climate, predation or by dispersal ... -
Spatiotemporal patterns of area use by humans and wild reindeer in a Norwegian National Park
