Diving behavior in a free-living, semi-aquatic herbivore, the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber
Graf, Patricia Maria; Wilson, Rory Paul; Sanchez, Lea Cohen; Hackländer, Klaus; Rosell, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Semi-aquatic mammals have secondarily returned to the aquatic environment, although they spend a major part of their life operating in air. Moving both on land, as well as in, and under water is challenging because such ... -
Do Scandinavian brown bears approach settlements to obtain high-quality food?
Elfström, Marcus; Davey, Marie Louise; Zedrosser, Andreas; Müller, Martin; De Barba, Marta; Støen, Ole-Gunnar; Miquel, Christian; Taberlet, Pierre; Hackländer, Klaus; Swenson, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Large carnivores that approach human settlements are usually considered a threat to human property and safety. The prevailing paradigm, that such ‘problem’ animals approach settlements in search of food, ignores their ... -
Faecal spectroscopy: a practical tool to assess diet quality in an opportunistic omnivore
Steyaert, Sam; Hütter, Franziska J.; Elfström, Marcus; Zedrosser, Andreas; Hackländer, Klaus; Le, Minh Hung; Windisch, Wilhelm M.; Swenson, Jon; Isaksson, Tomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Faecal indices of dietary quality can provide useful knowledge about the general ecology of a species, but only if the measurements are accurate and the results are interpreted with caution. In this article, we evaluated ... -
Forests buffer the climate-induced decline of body mass in a mountain herbivore
Reiner, Rudolf; Zedrosser, Andreas; Zeiler, Hubert; Hackländer, Klaus; Corlatti, Luca (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate change is known to affect key life-history traits, such as body mass, reproduction, and survival in many species. Animal populations inhabiting mountain habitats are adapted to extreme seasonal environmental ... -
Infanticide as a male reproductive strategy has a nutritive risk effect in brown bears
Steyaert, Sam; Reusch, Christine; Brunberg, Sven; Swenson, Jon; Hackländer, Klaus; Zedrosser, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-02)Behavioural strategies to reduce predation risk can incur costs, which are often referred to as risk effects.
