Age at first reproduction in wolves: Different patterns of density dependence for females and males
Wikenros, Camilla; Gicquel, Morgane; Zimmermann, Barbara; Flagstad, Øystein; Åkesson, Mikael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Age at first reproduction constitutes a key life-history trait in animals and is evolutionarily shaped by fitness benefits and costs of delayed versus early reproduction. The understanding of how intrinsic and extrinsic ... -
Estimating snow leopard density using fecal DNA in a large landscape in north-central Nepal
Chetri, Madhu; Odden, Morten; Sharma, Koustubh; Flagstad, Øystein; Wegge, Per (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Genetic signature of immigrants and their effect on genetic diversity in the recently established Scandinavian wolf population
Åkesson, Mikael; Flagstad, Øystein; Aspi, Jouni; Kojola, Ilpo; Liberg, Olof; Wabakken, Petter; Sand, Håkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Transboundary connectivity is a key component when conserving and managing animal species that require large areas to maintain viable population sizes. Wolves Canis lupus recolonized the Scandinavian Peninsula in the early ... -
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 ... -
Integrated population models poorly estimate the demographic contribution of immigration
Paquet, Matthieu; Knape, Jonas; Arlt, Debora; Forslund, Pär; Pärt, Tomas; Flagstad, Øystein; Jones, Carl; Nicoll, MAC; Norris, K; Pemberton, Josephine M.; Sand, Håkan; Svensson, Linn; Tatayah, Vikash; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Åkesson, Mikael; Low, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Estimating the contribution of demographic parameters to changes in population growth is essential for understanding why populations fluctuate. Integrated population models (IPMs) offer a possibility to estimate the ... -
Let’s stay together? Intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved in pair bond dissolution in a recolonizing wolf population
Milleret, Cyril; Wabakken, Petter; Liberg, Olof; Åkesson, Mikael; Flagstad, Øystein; Andreassen, Harry Peter; Sand, Håkan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)For socially monogamous species, breeder bond dissolution has important consequences for population dynamics, but the extent to which extrinsic or intrinsic population factors causes pair dissolution remain poorly understood, ... -
Predation of endangered Arctic foxes by Golden eagles: What do we know?
Jackson, Craig Ryan; Rød-Eriksen, Lars; Mattisson, Jenny; Flagstad, Øystein; Landa, Arild; Miller, Andrea; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Ulvund, Kristine R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Dedicated conservation efforts spanning the past two decades have saved the Fennoscandian Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population from local extinction, and ex-tensive resources continue to be invested in the species' ... -
Scavenging patterns of an inbred wolf population in a landscape with a pulse of human-provided carrion
Wikenros, Camilla; Di Bernardi, Cecilia; Zimmermann, Barbara; Åkesson, Mikael; Demski, Maike; Flagstad, Øystein; Mattisson, Jenny; Tallian, Aimee Grace; Wabakken, Petter; Sand, Håkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Scavenging is an important part of food acquisition for many carnivore species that switch between scavenging and predation. In landscapes with anthropogenic impact, humans provide food that scavenging species can utilize. ... -
Whole-genome resequencing of temporally stratified samples reveals substantial loss of haplotype diversity in the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population
Viluma, Agnese; Flagstad, Øystein; Åkesson, Mikael; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Ellegren, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genetic drift can dramatically change allele frequencies in small populations and lead to reduced levels of genetic diversity, including loss of segregating variants. However, there is a shortage of quantitative studies ... -
Wolf monitoring in Scandinavia: evaluating counts of packs and reproduction events
Åkesson, Mikael; Svensson, Linn; Flagstad, Øystein; Wabakken, Petter; Frank, Jens (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Large carnivores are elusive and use large areas, which causes monitoring to be challenging and costly. Moreover, management to reduce conflicts and simultaneously ensure long‐term population viability require precise ...
