Behavioural Responses to Thermal Conditions Affect Seasonal Mass Change in a Heat-Sensitive Northern Ungulate
(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 ... -
Big Cats in Our Backyards: Persistence of Large Carnivores in a Human Dominated Landscape in India
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Protected areas are extremely important for the long term viability of biodiversity in a densely populated country like India where land is a scarce resource. However, protected areas cover only 5% of the land area in ... -
Capture, Anesthesia, and Disturbance of Free-Ranging Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) during Hibernation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)We conducted thirteen immobilizations of previously collared hibernating two- to four-year-old brown bears (Ursus arctos) weighing 21–66 kg in central Sweden in winter 2010 and 2011 for comparative physiology research. ... -
Genetic Predictions of Prion Disease Susceptibility in Carnivore Species Based on Variability of the Prion Gene Coding Region
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Mammalian species vary widely in their apparent susceptibility to prion diseases. For example, several felid species developed prion disease (feline spongiform encephalopathy or FSE) during the bovine spongiform encephalopathy ... -
Geo-Spatial Aspects of Acceptance of Illegal Hunting of Large Carnivores in Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Human-carnivore conflicts are complex and are influenced by: the spatial distribution of the conflict species; the organisation and intensity of management measures such as zoning; historical experience with wildlife; ... -
Local and Regional Determinants of Colonisation- Extinction Dynamics of a Riparian Mainland-Island Root Vole Metapopulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The role of local habitat geometry (habitat area and isolation) in predicting species distribution has become an increasingly more important issue, because habitat loss and fragmentation cause species range contraction ...
