Responses of foraging Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to predator odours
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)The ability of Eurasian beavers Castor fiber to recognise different predator odours has received little research, nor has the use of predator odours to deter Eurasian beavers from damaging agricultural crops, fruit and ... -
Responses to Maximal Strength Training in Different Age and Gender Groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the potential impact of age, gender, baseline strength, and selected candidate polymorphisms on maximal strength training (MST) adaptations. Methods: A total of 49 subjects ... -
Retention and loss of PIT tags and surgically implanted devices in the Eurasian beaver
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Passive integrated transponder devices (PIT tags) are a valuable tool for individual identification of animals. Similarly, the surgical implantation of transmitters and bio-loggers can provide useful data on ... -
Ribotype diversity of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from two salmon processing plants in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)The purpose of this study was to use automated ribotyping procedure to track Listeria monocytogenes transmission in the cold smoked fish production chain and to characterize L. monocytogenes subtypes associated with the ... -

Scent-marking in the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) as a means of territory defense
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)Beaver (Castor spp.) normally scent mark by depositing castoreum and/or anal gland secretion on scent mounds close to the water's edge. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that the Eurasian beaver (C. ... -
Scent-sniffing dogs can discriminate between native Eurasian and invasive North American beavers
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Seasonal variation of mercury and δ15N in fish from Lake Heddalsvatn, southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Seasonal variations of mercury (Hg) concentration in muscle tissue of northern pike (Esox lucius L), European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L) and European perch (Perca fluviatilis L) have been investigated in Lake ... -
Seasonal Variations in the Use of Profundal Habitat among Freshwater Fishes in Lake Norsjø, Southern Norway, and Subsequent Effects on Fish Mercury Concentrations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This study is based on monthly sampling of fish from grates mounted at an industrial water intake, located at a depth of 50 m in Lake Norsjø (Southern Norway) during the year 2014, to investigate seasonal variations in the ... -
Selective foraging on woody plant species by the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Telemark, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Beavers Castor spp. are generalist herbivores, feeding on the bark, shoots and leaves of woody plants, terrestrial herbs and forbs, ferns and aquatic vegetation. As central-place foragers, beavers move out from water to ... -
Serological screening for tick-borne encephalitis virus in eight Norwegian herds of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is found in Ixodes ricinus ticks throughout the area where viable tick populations exist. In Norway, TBEV is found in I. ricinus from the south coast until Brønnøy municipality in ... -
Serum cytokine profiles and metabolic tumor burden in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing palliative thoracic radiation therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: Radiation therapy effectively kills cancer cells and elicits local effects in the irradiated tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics of cytokines in the serum of patients with lung cancer ... -
Sex and age composition of spring-hunted Eurasian beaver in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)In Norway, Sweden and Finland most Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) harvested are shot in April and May. As beaver cannot be sexed or effectively aged under spring hunting conditions, hunters normally shoot the first animal ... -
Sex discrimination via anal gland secretion in a territorial monogamous mammal
(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 ... -
Sex-biased dispersal in a northern ungulate population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)In most mammals dispersal is male-biased and in many polygynous ungulates female philopatry and matrilineal grouping involve small-scale genetic structure. We have through sex-related differences in microsatellite allele ...
