Behavioral correlates of supplementary feeding of wildlife: Can general conclusions be drawn?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-12)Supplementary feeding is a common, but controversial, tool in wildlife management, because it can benefit both humans and wildlife (e.g., increased wildlife densities), but has certain downsides (e.g., increased disease ... -
Dietary analysis of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Sweden 2015-2018
(Master thesis, 2019)Understanding dietary variation is crucial for a better understanding of a species’ ecology as well as for its effective management and conservation. Here I investigate the dietary variation of brown bears (Ursus arctos) ... -
Identification of five brown bear (Ursus arctos) behaviors using tri-axial accelerometers
(Master thesis, 2016-01-18)Bio-logging as a technique for studying animal behavior is a growing field, and small devices, such as tri-axial accelerometers, reveal a more complex picture of an animal's behavior and ecology. This is particularly ... -
Naïve dairy cattle do not produce less milk in response to brown bear (Ursus arctos) fecal odor
(Master thesis, 2017)Predators can have direct effects on prey by killing individuals, but may also have indirect effects caused by fear. Indirect effects may represent costs that can affect the individual fitness of prey by reducing growth, ... -
The effects of harvest on the sociospatial and genetic structure of a solitary-living large carnivore, the brown bear Ursus arctos
(Doctoral dissertations at the University College of Southeast Norway;28, Doctoral thesis, 2017-10-20)Understanding the effects of harvest is integral for sustainable wildlife management and conservation. And yet, the focus of managers has predominantly been on the direct mortality of harvest, often ignoring the indirect ... -
The relative importance of direct and indirect effects of hunting mortality on the population dynamics of brown bears
(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 ...
