• Competition between apex predators? Brown bears decrease wolf kill rate on two continents 

      Tallian, Aimee; Ordiz, Andres; Metz, Matthew C.; Milleret, Cyril; Wikenros, Camilla; Smith, Douglas W.; Stahler, Daniel R.; Kindberg, Jonas; MacNulty, Daniel R.; Wabakken, Petter; Swenson, Jon; Sand, Håkan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Trophic interactions are a fundamental topic in ecology, but we know little about how competition between apex predators affects predation, the mechanism driving top-down forcing in ecosystems.We used long-term datasets ...
    • Genomic consequences of intensive inbreeding in an isolated wolf population 

      Kardos, Marty; Åkesson, Mikael; Fountain, Toby; Flagstad, Øystein; Liberg, Olof; Olason, Pall; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article, 2017)
      Inbreeding (mating between relatives) is a major concern for conservation as it decreases the fitness of offspring and can increase the extinction risk of populations. While pedigrees have traditionally been used to measure ...
    • Viability, motility, ATP content and fertilizing potential of sperm from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in milt stored before cryopreservation 

      Kommisrud, Elisabeth; Myromslien, Frøydis Deinboll; Stenseth, Else-Berit; Zeremichael, Teklu Tewoldebrhan; Hofman, Nadine; Grevle, Inger Synnøve; Sunde, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Artificial fertilization is increasingly used in aquaculture, mostly applying short-term cold stored milt. Large scale cryopreservation of milt could be valuable for increased flexibility and acceleration of breeding ...
