    • Litter loss triggers estrus in a nonsocial seasonal breeder 

      Steyaert, Sam; Swenson, Jon; Zedrosser, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Sexually selected infanticide (SSI) is often presumed to be rare among seasonal breeders, because it would require a near immediate return to estrus after the loss of an entire litter during the mating season. We evaluated ...

      Cattet, Marc; Macbeth, Bryan J.; Janz, David M.; Zedrosser, Andreas; Swenson, Jon; Dumond, Mathieu; Stenhouse, Gordon B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The measurement of cortisol in hair is becoming important in studying the role of stress in the life history, health and ecology of wild mammals. The hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is generally believed to be a reliable ...

    • Rådyrets (Capreolus capreolus) økologi i urbane områder, Moss og Råde kommune, Viken fylkeskommune. 

      Hagen, Emely Maria Hegna (Master thesis, 2023)
      Økende befolkning og urbanisering fører til habitat tap-, og fragmentering. Dette kan ramme hjortevilt som blir tvunget til å finne nye hjemmeområder. Økt mattilgang og lav predasjonsrate gjør urbane områder attraktive. ...

    • The role of familial conflict in home range settlement and fitness of a solitary mammal 

      Hansen, Jennifer Eve; Hertel, Anne Gabriela; Frank, Shane C.; Kindberg, Jonas; Zedrosser, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Familial conflict, including parent–offspring conflict (POC) and sibling competition (SC), occurs when an individual maximizes its access to a limiting resource at the expense of a related individual. The role of familial ...

    • Scent-sniffing dogs can discriminate between native Eurasian and invasive North American beavers 

      Rosell, Frank; Cross, Hannah; Johnsen, Christin Beate; Sundell, Janne; Zedrosser, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The invasion of a species can cause population reduction or extinction of a similar native species due to replacement competition. There is a potential risk that the native Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) may eventually be ...

    • Seasonal and annual variation in the diet of brown bears Ursus arctos in the boreal forest of southcentral Sweden 

      Stenset, Nina Emilie; Lutnæs, Paul Antoni Nilsen; Bjarnadóttir, Valgerður; Dahle, Bjørn Steinar; Fossum, Kristin Høivik; Jigsved, Patrick; Johansen, Thomas; Neumann, Wiebke; Opseth, Ole; Rønning, Oddmund; Steyaert, Sam; Zedrosser, Andreas; Brunberg, Sven; Swenson, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Understanding a species' feeding ecology is essential for successful management and conservation, because food abundance can influence body mass, survival, reproductive success, movements, and habitat use. We describe ...

    • Seasonal and diel movement patterns of brown bears in a population in southeastern Europe 

      Bogdanović, Neda; Hertel, Anne G.; Zedrosser, Andreas; Paunović, Milan; Plećaš, Milan; Ćirović, Duško (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Most animals concentrate their movement into certain hours of the day depending on drivers such as photoperiod, ambient temperature, inter- or intraspecific competition, and predation risk. The main activity periods of ...

    • Sex discrimination via anal gland secretion in a territorial monogamous mammal 

      Cross, Hannah; Zedrosser, Andreas; Nevin, Owen; Rosell, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-07-12)
      Monogamy in mammals is relatively unusual, only occurring in 3-5% and to an even lesser degree in rodents. Monogamy exists in two forms, facultative which evolved due to female dispersion and obligate when male care is ...

    • Temporal effects of hunting on foraging behavior of an apex predator: Do bears forego foraging when risk is high? 

      Hertel, Anne Gabriela; Zedrosser, Andreas; Mysterud, Atle; Støen, Ole-Gunnar; Steyaert, Sam; Swenson, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Avoiding predators most often entails a food cost. For the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos), the hunting season coincides with the period of hyperphagia. Hunting mortality risk is not uniformly distributed throughout ...

      Rosenkilde, Benedikte Elvine; Lian, Sandra Berge (Master thesis, 2024)
      Anthropogenic disturbances can alter wildlife movement, potentially causing changes in behavior, increased stress, reduced fitness, and, in severe cases, death. This study focuses on how non-intrusive field research ...

      Gosselin, Jacinthe; Zedrosser, Andreas; Swenson, Jon; Pelletier, Fanie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      There is increasing evidence of indirect effects of hunting on populations. In species with sexually selected infanticide (SSI), hunting may decrease juvenile survival by increasing male turnover. We aimed to evaluate the ...
