Challenges of managing a European brown bear population; lessons from Sweden, 1943–2013
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Adaptive management’, which has been defined as the repeated iteration between management action, scientific assessment and revised management action, leading to a strengthened foundation for management, is required by ... -
Do ingredient and nutrient intake reveal individual dietary specialization in an omnivorous carnivore, the brown bear?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Generalist populations often harbor individual dietary specialists. Whether using a narrower set of resources than the population (= specialization) affects specialists' nutrient intake remains underexplored. We evaluated ... -
Ecological implications from spatial patterns in human-caused brown bear mortality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Humans are important agents of wildlife mortality, and understanding such mortality is paramount for effective population management and conservation. However, the spatial mechanisms behind wildlife mortality are often ... -
Faecal spectroscopy: a practical tool to assess diet quality in an opportunistic omnivore
(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 ... -
Gut retention time in captive brown bears Ursus arctos
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Knowing animals’ gut retention time (GRT) for important food items is critical when using non-invasive studies based on faecal remains, e.g. when analysing nutritive quality of food, or relating diet or behaviour to ... -
Invasive North American beaver Castor canadensis in Eurasia: a review of potential consequences and a strategy for eradication
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12)Seven North American beavers Castor canadensis (Cc) were introduced into Finland in 1937 to supplement an ongoing reintroduction of the nearly extinct Eurasian beaver C. fiber (Cf). At that time, many zoologists recognised ... -
Seasonal and annual variation in the diet of brown bears Ursus arctos in the boreal forest of southcentral Sweden
(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 ...
