Genetic diversity, gene flow, and landscape resistance in a pond-breeding amphibian in agricultural and natural forested landscapes in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Genetic diversity is a key part of biodiversity, threatened by human activities that lead to loss of gene flow and reduction of effective population sizes. Gene flow is a result of both landscape connectivity and demographic ... -
Harvest is associated with the disruption of social and finescale genetic structure among matrilines of a solitary large carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Harvest can disrupt wildlife populations by removing adults with naturally high survival. This can reshape sociospatial structure, genetic composition, fitness, and potentially affect evolution. Genetic tools can detect ... -
Heritability of head size in a hunted large carnivore, the brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Wild animal populations experience selection pressures from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The availability of extensive pedigrees is increasing along with our ability to quantify the heritability and evolvability ... -
The interplay between hunting rate, hunting selectivity, and reproductive strategies shapes population dynamics of a large carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Harvest, through its intensity and regulation, often results in selection on female reproductive traits. Changes in female traits can have demographic consequences, as they are fundamental in shaping population dynamics. ...
