Couch potatoes do better: Delayed dispersal and territory size affect the duration of territory occupancy in a monogamous mammal
Mayer, Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Rosell, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In territorial, socially monogamous species, the establishment and defense of a terri - tory are an important strategy to maximize individual fitness, but the factors responsi - ble for the duration of territory occupancy ... -
Extra-territorial movements differ between territory holders and subordinates in a large, monogamous rodent
Mayer, Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Rosell, Frank (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 ... -
Fear the reaper: ungulate carcasses may generate an ephemeral landscape of fear for rodents
Frank, Shane C.; Blaalid, Rakel; Mayer, Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Steyaert, Sam (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 ... -
The impact of bio-logging on body weight change of the Eurasian beaver
Robstad, Christian Andre; Lodberg-Holm, Hanna Kavli; Mayer, Martin; Rosell, Frank Narve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bio-logging is a common method to collect ecological data on wild animals, but might also induce stress, reduce body condition, and alter behavior. Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) are a semi-aquatic and nocturnal species ... -
Performance of GPS units for deployment on semiaquatic animals
Justicia, Lia Schlippe; Rosell, Frank; Mayer, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is widely used in wildlife research to study animal movement and habitat use. In order to evaluate the quality and reliability of GPS data, the factors influencing the performance ... -
Retention and loss of PIT tags and surgically implanted devices in the Eurasian beaver
Mayer, Martin; Lian, Marianne; Fuchs, Boris; Robstad, Christian; Evans, Alina; Perrin, Kathryn; Greunz, Eva M.; Laske, Timothy G.; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Rosell, Frank Narve (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 ... -
Water body type and group size affect the flight initiation distance of European waterbirds
Mayer, Martin; Natusch, Daniel J D; Frank, Shane C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Human encroachment on nature grows constantly, increasing human-wildlife interactions. Flight initiation distance (FID, the distance at which animals flee from an approaching threat) is often used to measure antipredator ...
