(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that energy intake for ungulates is maximised when forage biomass is at intermediate levels. Nevertheless, metabolic allometry and different digestive systems suggest that ...
    • Mammal responses to predator scents across multiple study areas 

      Sunde, Peter; Böcker, Felix; Rauset, Geir Rune; Kjellander, Petter; Chrenkova, Monika; Skovdal, Trine Munck; Calkoen, Suzanne van Beeck; Mayer, Martin; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Antipredator behaviors allow prey to mitigate the impacts of their predators. We investigated antipredator responses of two herbivore species, roe deer and European hare, and one mesopredator, red fox, toward predation ...
    • Parasite Spillover from Domestic Sheep to Wild Reindeer—The Role of Salt Licks 

      Utaaker, Kjersti Selstad; Ytrehus, Bjørnar; Davey, Marie Louise; Fossøy, Frode; Davidson, Rebecca K.; Miller, Andrea; Robertsen, Per-Anders; Strand, Olav; Rauset, Geir Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01-25)
      Abstract: Attraction sites are important for environmental pathogen transmission and spillover. Yet, their role in wildlife disease dynamics is often poorly substantiated. Herein, we study the role of salt licks as potential ...
