Assessing the potential of camera traps for estimating activity pattern compared to collar-mounted activity sensors: a case study on Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx in south-eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The diel activity patterns of animals convey information about physiology, ecological niches and animal behaviour relevant for both applied conservation and more theoretical research. However, these patterns are challenging ... -
Carnivore exclosures to protect sheep affect the distribution of a wild cervid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)With the recent recovery of large carnivores in Europe, preventive measures to protect livestock are on the rise. Fences that exclude carnivores from grazing areas have been proven as effective, but they can be costly as ... -
Carnivore guild utilization of hunter-provided food sources in boreal forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Scavenging is an alternative foraging strategy to predation for many carnivore species, as they shift between predation and scavenging in response to changes in resource availability. The use of carrion may lead to ... -
Declining survival rates of red foxes Vulpes vulpes during the first outbreak of sarcoptic mange in Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Rapid declines in red fox Vulpes vulpes populations have followed outbreaks of epizootic mange caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. In Sweden, the first outbreak of sarcoptic mange started in 1977/1978 and affected the ... -
Does recursive use of resource locations shape a home range? Exploring the red fox's cognitive map.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A home range represents the outcome of the interplay between an environment, an animal’s understanding of that envi-ronment, and its subsequent movement decisions. Yet, recent studies suggest that recursive movement ... -
Effects of large carnivores, hunter harvest, and weather on the mortality of moose calves in a partially migratory population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Survival of juvenile ungulates represents an important demographic parameter that influences population dynamics within ecosystems. In many ecological systems, the mortality of juvenile ungulates is influenced by various ... -
Forestry and environmental conditions as determinants of pine marten Martes martes occurrence in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European pine marten Martes martes is often associated with late seral stage coniferous forest stands. Earlier research has indicated that this species may be nega tively influenced by clearcutting practices. However, ... -
Genetic admixture between Central European and Alpine wolf populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The recovery and expansion of formerly isolated wolf populations in Europe raise questions about the nature of their interactions and future consequences for population viability and conservation. Will fragmented populations ... -
How fences communicate interspecies codes of conduct in the landscape: toward bidirectional communication?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The fence provides two functions in wildlife management. First, it physically blocks, deters or impedes wild animals from access to protected areas or resources. Second, the fence signals impassability, danger, ... -
Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares (Lepus timidus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The direct effects of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well known for a long time. However, recently there has also been an increased focus on the indirect, non-lethal effects of hunting. When ... -
Monitoring GPS-collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ... -
Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011) -
Preferred harvest principles and - regulations amongst willow ptarmigan hunters in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Hunters ’ preferences for diff erent harvest principles and harvest regulations such as season length and harvest quotas provide important knowledge for wildlife management. We report results from a survey of 2788 willow ... -
The role of predation, forestry and productivity in moose harvest at different spatial levels of management units
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Management of ungulate populations to the desired density and/or demographic composition are challenged by contrasting aims of different stakeholders. For example, hunters may want to maximize hunting opportunities whereas ... -
Scared as a hare: Effects of capture and experimental disturbance on survival and movement behavior of European hares
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Capture and handling of wildlife is an important component of wildlife studies, and hunting can be a central tool for wildlife management. However, human-caused disturbance of animals can cause various negative effects on ... -
Spatial distribution of Svalbard rock ptarmigan based on a predictive multi-scale habitat model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
Survival of female capercaillie Tetrao urogallus in northern Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We studied survival and cause-specific mortality of radio-marked capercaillie Tetrao urogallus females relative to habitat type in northern Sweden during 2000-2004. Our high-mountain area (1,600 km2) consisted of the ... -
Will future wind power development in Scandinavia have an impact on wolves?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The global energy demand is growing, and the world is shifting towards using more renewable energy, like increased onshore wind power development. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very High Frequency (VHF) ...
