Olfactory cues of large carnivores modify red deer behavior and browsing intensity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study examined the effect of perceived predation risk imposed by lynx (Lynx lynx) and wolf (Canis lupus) on red deer (Cervus elaphus) foraging behavior under experimental conditions. We hypothesized that in response ... -
Genetic signature of immigrants and their effect on genetic diversity in the recently established Scandinavian wolf population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Transboundary connectivity is a key component when conserving and managing animal species that require large areas to maintain viable population sizes. Wolves Canis lupus recolonized the Scandinavian Peninsula in the early ... -
Spatio-temporal distribution of pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) along the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pufferfish represent a serious threat to the marine ecosystem in the Mediterranean Sea. To better understand the population dynamics of pufferfish and their relation with ecological parameters, six pufferfish species were ... -
Declining survival rates of red foxes Vulpes vulpes during the first outbreak of sarcoptic mange in Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Rapid declines in red fox Vulpes vulpes populations have followed outbreaks of epizootic mange caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. In Sweden, the first outbreak of sarcoptic mange started in 1977/1978 and affected the ... -
Integrated population models poorly estimate the demographic contribution of immigration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Estimating the contribution of demographic parameters to changes in population growth is essential for understanding why populations fluctuate. Integrated population models (IPMs) offer a possibility to estimate the ... -
Effects of Lake Productivity on Density and Size Structure of Pelagic Fish Estimated by Means of Echosounding in 17 Lakes in Southeast Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Density estimation of pelagic fish was performed by means of single beam echosounding in 17 lakes within a period of 34 years, from 1985 to 2018. Surveys were performed repeatedly (two to fourteen times) in five lakes. The ... -
Of wolves and bears: Seasonal drivers of interference and exploitation competition between apex predators
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Competition between apex predators can alter the strength of top-down forcing, yet we know little about the behavioral mechanisms that drive competition in multipredator ecosystems. Interactions between predators can be ... -
Assessing levels, trade-offs and synergies of landscape services in the Iranian province of Qazvin: towards sustainable landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Context Evidence-based knowledge is crucial for place-based knowledge production and learning towards sustainable landscapes through stewardship and integrated spatial planning. Objectives We focus on the landscape service ... -
DNA metabarcoding reveals the importance of gelatinous zooplankton in the diet of Pandalus borealis, a keystone species in the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Information about the dietary composition of a species is crucial to understanding their position and role in the food web. Increasingly, molecular approaches such as DNA metabarcoding are used in studying trophic ... -
Effects of forestry intensification and conservation on green infrastructures: A spatio-temporal evaluation in Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is a rivalry between policies on intensification of forest management to meet the demands of a growing bioeconomy, and policies on green infrastructure functionality. Evaluation of the net effects of different policy ... -
Activating Natural Killer Cell Receptors, Selectins, and Inhibitory Siglecs Recognize Ebolavirus Glycoprotein
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Expression of the extensively glycosylated Ebolavirus glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) induces physical alterations of surface molecules and plays a crucial role in viral pathogenicity. Here we investigate the interactions of EBOV-GP ... -
Trust in researchers and researchers' statements in large carnivore conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Human–wildlife interactions occur when humans and wildlife overlap in the same landscapes. Due to the growing human population, the number of interactions will continue to increase, and in some cases, develop further ... -
Roads constrain movement across behavioural processes in a partially migratory ungulate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Human disturbance alters animal movement globally and infrastructure, such as roads, can act as physical barriers that impact behavior across multiple spatial scales. In ungulates, roads can particularly hamper ... -
Spent mushroom substrates for ethanol production – Effect of chemical and structural factors on enzymatic saccharification and ethanolic fermentation of Lentinula edodes-pretreated hardwood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Spent mushroom substrates (SMS) from cultivation of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) on three hardwood species were investigated regarding their potential for cellulose saccharification and for ethanolic fermentation of the ... -
The smell of success: Reproductive success related to rub behavior in brown bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Several species of bears are known to rub deliberately against trees and other objects, but little is known about why bears rub. Patterns in rubbing behavior of male and female brown bears (Ursus arctos) suggest that scent ... -
Serological evidence of hepatitis e virus infection in semi-domesticated eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a common cause of viral hepatitis in humans. In developing countries, HEV-infections seem to be mainly associated with pigs, but other animal species may be involved in viral transmission. Recently, ... -
Diverse Locations and a Long History: Historical Context for Urban Leopards (Panthera pardus) in the Early Anthropocene From Seoul, Korea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)While the urban landscapes of the early Anthropocene may appear hostile to large carnivores, humans and leopards (Panthera pardus) are known to co-inhabit major urban centres like Mumbai (India), Nairobi (Kenya) and ... -
Frontiers of protected areas versus forest exploitation: Assessing habitat network functionality in 16 case study regions globally
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Exploitation of natural forests forms expanding frontiers. Simultaneously, protected area frontiers aim at maintaining functional habitat networks. To assess net effects of these frontiers, we examined 16 case study areas ... -
