Development of microsatellite panels for determining genetic structure in populations of pine marten (Martes martes)
(Master thesis, 2017)The population genetic structure of the Norwegian pine marten (Martes martes) is poorly understood. Genetic study of this species is challenging due to their elusive nature and limited available information. In the present ... -
Effect of altitude on woody vegetation along slopes of a volcanic, tropical mountain
(Master thesis, 2017)This study was initiated to investigate the effects of altitude on woody vegetation on the eastern slopes of Mount Meru, Tanzania. Changes in vegetation along altitudinal gradients are related to climate factors, soil ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
Using turfs to facilitate recovery in a low-alpine environment. - What matters?
(Master thesis, 2017)Establishment and survival of plants in low-alpine ecosystems depend strongly on local environmental conditions, as for example nutrient availability and especially temperature. Some of these conditions are rather unpredictable ... -
Where is the refrigerator? A spatial approach to wolverine (Gulo gulo) food hoarding behavior in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2017)Food hoarding helps animals to maintain their physical condition during times of food scarcity. Wolverines (Gulo gulo) inhabitat mostly environments of low productivity, and are known to hoard food for long-term periods, ...
