• Behavioural Responses to Thermal Conditions Affect Seasonal Mass Change in a Heat-Sensitive Northern Ungulate 

      van Beest, Floris M.; Milner, Jos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Background Empirical tests that link temperature-mediated changes in behaviour (activity and resource selection) to individual fitness or condition are currently lacking for endotherms yet may be critical to understanding ...
    • Boom and bust of a moose population – a call for integrated forest management 

      Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris M.; Storaas, Torstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      There is increasing pressure to manage forests for multiple objectives, including ecosystem services and biodiversity, alongside timber production. However, few forests are currently co-managed for timber and ...
    • Evaluating expert-based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS-tracking data 

      Broekman, Maarten J. E.; Hilbers, Jelle P.; Huijbregts, Mark A. J.; Mueller, Thomas; Ali, Abdullah H.; Andrén, Henrik; Altmann, Jeanne; Aronsson, Malin; Attias, Nina; Bartlam-Brooks, Hattie L. A.; van Beest, Floris M.; Belant, Jerrold L.; Beyer, Dean E.; Bidner, Laura; Blaum, Niels; Boone, Randall B.; Boyce, Mark S.; Brown, Michael B.; Cagnacci, Francesca; Cerne, Rok; Chamaillé-Jammes, Simon; Dejid, Nandintsetseg; Dekker, Jasja; Desbiez, Arnaud L. J.; Díaz-Muñoz, Samuel L.; Fennessy, Julian; Fichtel, Claudia; Fischer, Christina; Fisher, Jason T.; Fischhof, Ilya; Ford, Adam T.; Fryxell, John M.; Gehr, Benedict; Goheen, Jacob B.; Hauptfleisch, Morgan; Hewison, A. J. Mark; Hering, Robert; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Isbell, Lynne A.; Janssen, René; Jeltsch, Florian; Kaczensky, Petra; Kappeler, Peter M.; Krofel, Miha; LaPoint, Scott; Latham, A. David M.; Linnell, John Durrus; Markham, A. Catherine; Mattisson, Jenny; Medici, Emilia Patricia; Van Moorter, Bram; Mysterud, Atle; Odden, John; Panzacchi, Manuela; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Strand, Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Aim: Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert- based informa-tion is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. ...
    • Improving broad scale forage mapping and habitat selection analyses with airborne laser scanning: the case of moose 

      Lone, Karen; van Beest, Floris M.; Mysterud, Atle; Gobakken, Terje; Milner, Jos M.; Ruud, Hans-Petter; Loe, Leif Egil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Determining the spatial distribution of large herbivores is a key challenge in ecology and management. However, our ability to accurately predict this is often hampered by inadequate data on available forage and structural ...
    • Long-term effects of supplementary feeding of moose on browsing impact at a landscape scale 

      Mathisen, Karen Marie; Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris M.; Skarpe, Christina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Supplementary feeding of wildlife is a common management practice, increasingly used to reduce or divert herbivore impact from sensitive habitats, forestry or agriculture. The landscape-scale spatial distribution of ...
    • On the interplay between hypothermia and reproduction in a high arctic ungulate 

      Schmidt, Niels M.; Grøndahl, Carsten; Evans, Alina; Desforges, Jean-Pierre; Blake, John; Hansen, Lars H.; Beumer, Larissa T.; Mosbacher, Jesper B.; Stelvig, Mikkel; Greunz, Eva M.; Chimienti, Marianna; van Beest, Floris M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For free-ranging animals living in seasonal environments, hypometabolism (lowered metabolic rate) and hypothermia (lowered body temperature) can be effective physiological strategies to conserve energy when forage resources ...
    • To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates 

      Milner, Jos M.; van Beest, Floris M.; Schmidt, Karoline T.; Brook, Ryan K.; Storaas, Torstein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Ungulate populations are important natural resources, associated with both costs and benefits. Conflicts have arisen between stakeholders who benefit from high ungulate numbers and those faced with the costs. Supplementary ...
