Behavioral and Physiological Responses of Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) to Dog Hunts and Human Encounters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Innovations in biologging have offered new possibilities to better understand animals in their natural environment. Biologgers can be used by researchers to measure the impact of human disturbances on wildlife and guide ... -
A biodiversity boost from the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Germany's oldest national park
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Beavers are important engineers in freshwater ecosystems and reintroduction programs have enabled the recovery of beaver populations in several ... -
A common statement on anthropogenic hybridization of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Preserving natural genetic diversity and ecological function of wild species is a central goal in conservation biology. As such, anthropogenic hybridization is considered a threat to wild populations, as it can lead to ... -
Deer Behavior Affects Density Estimates With Camera Traps, but Is Outwighted by Spatial Variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Density is a key trait of populations and an essential parameter in ecological research, wildlife conservation and management. Several models have been developed to estimate population density based on camera trapping data, ... -
Ecological Effects of Wolves in Anthropogenic Landscapes: The Potential for Trophic Cascades Is Context-Dependent
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In recent years, large predators have made a comeback across large parts of Europe. However, little is known about the impact that recolonizing predators may have on ecosystems with high degrees of anthropogenic influence. ... -
Extrinsic and intrinsic factors drive the timing of gestation and reproductive success of Scandinavian brown bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is altering the reproductive phenology of many organisms, but the factors that influence the timing of gestation in ursids are still poorly understood. Higher temperatures in spring are already causing an ... -
Large-Scale Sheep Losses to Wolves (Canis lupus) in Germany Are Related to the Expansion of the Wolf Population but Not to Increasing Wolf Numbers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recovery of predator populations triggers conflicts due to livestock depredation losses, particularly in Germany where the wolf (Canis lupus) population grows exponentially and livestock (especially sheep) losses raise ... -
Seasonal Hypometabolism in Female Moose
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)How animals respond to a changing environment is a key question in ecological research. Animals living at higher latitudes are exposed to pronounced seasonal differences in both climate and in resource availability. ... -
A Standardized Method for Experimental Human Approach Trials on Wild Wolves
(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 ... -
Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data
(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, ...
