Effect of latitude and mountain height on the timberline (Betula pubescens ssp. czerpanovii) elevation along the central Scandinavian mountain range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Previously published isoline maps of Fennoscandian timberlines show that their highest elevations lie in the high mountain areas in central south Norway and from there the limits decrease in all directions. These maps are ... -
Effectiveness of predator odors as gray squirrel repellents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)The ability of gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) to discriminate between different predator odors and the use of predator odors to deter gray squirrels from foraging on plants have not been previously investigated. To ... -
Efficacy of cartridge type and projectile design in the harvest of beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)In Norway, Sweden, and Finland most beavers (Castor spp.) harvested are shot with center-fire rifles. Shooting entails problems not encountered in trapping including pelt damage from bullet holes (body shots are common) ... -

Environmental factors influencing mercury speciation in Subarctic and Boreal lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Environmental drivers of total mercury (TotHg) concentrations, methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations, and MeHg fractions (a proxy for methylation potential, expressed as %MeHg) were assessed in a synoptic study of 51 lakes ... -
Errors associated with moose-hunter counts of occupied beaver Castor fiber lodges in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)In Norway, Sweden and Finland moose Alces alces hunting teams are often employed to survey occupied beaver (Castor fiber and C. canadensis) lodges while hunting. Results may be used to estimate population density or trend, ... -
Estimation of lichen biomass with emphasis on reindeer winter pastures at Hardangervidda, S Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Quantification of lichen abundance is important for management of reindeer populations. We measured dry lichen biomass in 876 micro plots (16.5 cm - 16.5 cm) systematically sampled within 219 vegetation plots (2 m - 2 m) ... -

Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) behavioral response to simulated territorial intruders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) live in family groups that defend territories against other conspecifics. Part of this territorial defence involves constructing scent mounds near the stream bank within territories and ... -
European beaver, Castor fiber, pinned by a felled tree
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1996)The death of an adult European Beaver (Castor fiber) caused by a felled tree in Southeast Norway is reported. The trunk fell on the beaver's tail pinning it to the ground. -
Experimental infection of lambs with tick-borne encephalitis virus and co-infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic pathogen which may cause tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in humans and animals. More than 10,000 cases of TBE are reported annually in Europe and Asia. However, the knowledge ... -
Extra-territorial movements differ between territory holders and subordinates in a large, monogamous rodent
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Territorial animals carry out extra-territorial movements (forays) to obtain pre-dispersal information or to increase reproductive success via extra-pair copulation. However, little is known about other purposes and spatial ... -
Factors affecting scent-marking behavior in Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1997)We tested the hypothesis that a main function of territory marking in Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is defense of the territory. The results showed that. (1) beaver colonies with close neighbors scent-mark more often than ... -
Factors determining parasite abundance in European perch, Perca fluviatilis, European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, in an oligotrophic lake, southern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Temporal and spatial variations in macroparasite status were investigated in European perch, Perca fluviatilis, European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus in Lake Norsjø (Southern Norway), ... -
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 ... -
Fear the reaper: ungulate carcasses may generate an ephemeral landscape of fear for rodents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Animal carcasses provide an ephemeral pulse of nutrients for scavengers that use them. Carcass sites can increase species interactions and/or ephemeral, localized landscapes of fear for prey within the vicinity. Few studies ... -
