Population viability analysis of Swedish and Norwegian rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta populations
(Master thesis, 2011)Population viability analysis (PVA) is a method of projecting the likely future state of a population or populations of a species using quantitative methods. It is principally used to determine the population(s) risk of ... -
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 ... -
Effects of moose density and supplementary feeding on field layer vegetation
(Master thesis, 2011)English: Large mammalian herbivores have the potential to directly and indirectly affect the ecosystem they live in, such as plant structure and dynamics of vascular plants. The present study experimentally estimated the ... -
The influences of roads on wolf movement on the Scandinavian peninsula in summer
(Master thesis, 2010)Over 14,000 GPS wolf positions from 15 wolves (Canis lupus) in 9 territories across the Scandinavian Peninsula were used to assess the influences of roads on wolf movement within their territories in the summer. My results ... -
The effects of artificial water holes on the distribution of elephants and other mammalian herbivores in Savuti, Northern Botswana
(Master thesis, 2010)It has been argued that the wide-scale provision of artificial surface water in semi-arid savannas may result in homogenisation of foraging habitats, compromising biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. This study looks ... -
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 ... -
Winter distribution of eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in relation to prey distribution and anthropogenically altered landscape in south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2009)Gaupe er en av de store rovdyrene i Norge. Gaupas forflyttning kan skape forskjellige niva av nyskjerrighet, beundring, bekymring og frykt i vares samfunn, som kan føre til konflikter. Derfor kan det være viktig a ha ... -
Hunters' satisfaction as affected by ptarmigan density and hunting practice
(Master thesis, 2009)After the hunting season of 2006 I through questionnaires studied the individual satisfaction of 1 803 ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) hunters in 23 different areas with estimated ptarmigan densities. When asked, the hunters ... -
Attitudes of hunters and managers toward harvest regualtions of willow ptarmigan in Norway
(Master thesis, 2009)Kunnskap om jegernes holdninger til ulike forvaltningsrestriksjoner, slik som tidspunkt for jaktstart og dagskvoter er nyttig informasjon i forvaltningssammenheng. Her rapporterer jeg resultater fra en undersøkelse hvor ... -
The effect of rut and hunting activity on movement in female moose with and without calves
(Master thesis, 2009)Moose (Alces alces) in Norway are exposed to intensive hunting pressure each autumn. Besides the rut, already an energetically costly period of the year, we may expect disturbance to moose by hunters to trigger anti-predator ...
