• The return of large carnivores: Using hunter observation data to understand the role of predators on ungulate populations 

      Tallian, Aimee Grace; Ordiz Fernandez, Andres Avelino; Zimmermann, Barbara; Sand, Håkan; Wikenros, Camilla; Wabakken, Petter; Bergqvist, Göran; Kindberg, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Large carnivores play a key ecological role in nature, yet quantifying the effects of predation at large spatiotemporal scales remains challenging. Wolves and brown bears have recovered in Sweden, where they share the same ...
    • Rewilding by Wolf Recolonisation, Consequences for Ungulate Populations and Game Hunting 

      Rodríguez-Recio, Mariano; Wikenros, Camilla; Zimmermann, Barbara; Sand, Håkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The ongoing recolonizations of human-transformed environments in Europe by large carnivores like the wolf Canis lupus means that conservation conflicts could re-surface, among other reasons, due to predation on ungulate ...
    • 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. ...
    • Spatial and temporal cohesion of parents and offspring in a social large carnivore 

      Nordli, Kristoffer; Wabakken, Petter; Eriksen, Ane; Sand, Håkan; Wikenros, Camilla; Maartmann, Erling; Zimmermann, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Social organization in animals is a fundamental factor driving population dynamics and individual spatial distribution. Affiliation among kin is common in social groups, but kinship is no safeguard against intraspecific ...
    • A Standardized Method for Experimental Human Approach Trials on Wild Wolves 

      Eriksen, Ane; Versluijs, Erik; Fuchs, Boris; Zimmermann, Barbara; Wabakken, Petter; Ordiz, Andres; Sunde, Peter; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Gillich, Benjamin; Michler, Frank; Nordli, Kristoffer; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Gorini, Lucrezia; Rieger, Siegfried (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      As wolves recolonize areas of Europe ranging from moderate to high anthropogenic impact, fear of wolves is a recurring source of conflict. Shared tools for evaluating wolf responses to humans, and comparing such responses ...
    • Testing the influence of habitat experienced during the natal phase on habitat selection later in life in Scandinavian wolves 

      Milleret, Cyril; Ordiz, Andres; Sanz Perez, Ana; Uzal, Antonio; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Eriksen, Ane; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Åkesson, Mikael; Zimmermann, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
    • Ulven som rovdyr på klauvvilt i Skandinavia 

      Zimmermann, Barbara; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Eriksen, Ane; Strømseth, Tomas H.; Holen, Frode Gjerløv; Maartmann, Erling; Ahlqvist, Per; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Milleret, Cyril; Liberg, Olof; Pedersen, Hans Christian (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    • 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 habitat selection when sympatric or allopatric with brown bears in Scandinavia 

      Ordiz Fernandez, Andres Avelino; Uzal, Antonio; Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Sanz-Perez, Ana; Zimmermann, Barbara; Wikenros, Camilla; Wabakken, Petter; Kindberg, Jonas; Swenson, Jon; Sand, Håkan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Habitat selection of animals depends on factors such as food availability, landscape features, and intraand interspecific interactions. Individuals can show several behavioral responses to reduce competition for habitat, ...
    • Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data 

      Versluijs, Erik; Eriksen, Ane; Fuchs, Boris; Wikenros, Camilla; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Zimmermann, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Humans pose a major mortality risk to wolves. Hence, similar to how prey respond to predators, wolves can be expected to show anti-predator responses to humans. When exposed to a threat, animals may show a fight, flight, ...
    • Wolves at the door? Factors influencing the individual behavior of wolves in relation to anthropogenic features 

      Sanchez, David Carricondo; Zimmermann, Barbara; Wabakken, Petter; Eriksen, Ane; Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Ordiz, Andres; Sanz-Pérez, Ana; Wikenros, Camilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The recovery of large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes comes with challenges. In general, large carnivores avoid humans and their activities, and human avoidance favors coexistence, but individual variation in large ...
