A seasonal feast : the use of moose slaughter remains by the boreal forest scavenger community in south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Scavenging by vertebrates is one of multiple foraging strategies to utilize food resources and a key ecological process in food web dynamics. It is used in periods of environmental stress such as shortage of prey, and as ... -
Diet composition and variation in winter of supplementarily fed moose
(Master thesis, 2013)Supplementary feeding of ungulates during winter is a common practice in Europe and North America. Amongst species that are fed with a diversionary purpose is the moose Alces alces. Winter supplementary feeding of moose ... -
Effects of different scarification intensities on bilberry abundance
(Master thesis, 2014-09-29)In the boreal forest bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) plays an important role for a large variety of insects, birds and mammals, and it is especially important for moose (Alces alces) in autumn and spring. Bilberry is commonly ... -
Evaluating potential drivers of four different types of moose browsing damage in a cross-border context
(Master thesis, 2022)Moose (Alces alces) in Scandinavia rely on commercially valuable Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) as a winter food source. Browsing impacts to forest resources are labeled as “damage” and have become especially important along ... -
Gastrointestinal parasites in moose (Alces alces); which ones and what consequences?
(Master thesis, 2014-09-29)Even though the moose in Norway represents such an important game species, this is one of the first studies of their gastrointestinal parasites. The moose population density in Hedmark county remains at a high level, and ... -
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 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 ... -
To run or stay : anti-hunter behaviour of female moose
(Master thesis, 2013)In Norway, hunting is the main mortality factor of moose (Alces alces), with hunters killing approximately ¼ of the fall population each year. During 2009 and 2010 I studied escape behaviour of GPS/VHF-marked female moose ... -
Wolf space use in a seasonally changing environment
(Master thesis, 2021)In this study, we investigate the space use of a recolonizing predator in Scandinavia in relation to the density of its main prey and other environmental variables. Animal space use is influenced by intrinsic factors, ...
