Socio-ecological features other than sex affect habitat selection in the socially obligate monogamous Eurasian beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-11)Habitat selection is a context-dependent mechanism, in which both the internal state as well as external factors affect the behavior and decisions of an individual. This is well known for polygamous mammals, which are ... -
Superoxide dismutase polymorphisms in wild populations of herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae)
(Journal article, 2003)Polymorphism of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was investigated in leaves of herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae). The plants were collected during the summer and autumn of 2001 from different natural locations in ... -
The beaver's reconquest of Eurasia: status, population development, and management of a conservation success
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)Overhunting reduced Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) populations to c. 1200 animals, in eight isolated populations, around the end of the 19th century. Protection, natural spread and reintroductions led to a powerful recovery ... -
The function of scent marking in beaver (Castor fiber) territorial defence
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2001)This thesis examines how scent marking in Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) functions in territorial defence. Beavers usually deposit scent (castoreum and/or anal gland secretion (AGS)) onto small piles of mud and debris, and ... -
The importance of chemical communication studies to mammalian conservation biology: A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-14)The relevance of chemical communication to mammalian conservation is not often the focus of scientific investigation. Our review identifies and discusses ten key areas in which the study of chemical communication aids ... -
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 ... -
The Use of Acceleration to Code for Animal Behaviours; A Case Study in Free-Ranging Eurasian Beavers Castor fiber
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-28)Recent technological innovations have led to the development of miniature, accelerometercontaining electronic loggers which can be attached to free-living animals. Accelerometers provide information on both body posture ...
