    • Do bank voles (Myodes glareolus) trapped in live and lethal traps show differences in tick burden? 

      De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas; Korslund, Lars; Steifetten, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In studies assessing tick abundance, the use of live traps to capture and euthanize rodent hosts is a commonly used method to determine their burden. However, captive animals can experience debilitating or fatal capture ...

    • Experimental infection of lambs with tick-borne encephalitis virus and co-infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum. 

      Paulsen, Katrine Mørk; Granquist, Erik Georg; Okstad, Wenche; Andreassen, Åshild Kristine; Stuen, Snorre; Vikse, Rose; Stiasny, Karin (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • Long-term responses of Icelandic Arctic foxes to changes in marine and terrestrial ecosystems 

      Berthelot, Fanny Marie Lou; Unnsteinsdóttir, Ester R.; Ellgutter, Jennifer Alejandrina Carbonell; Ehrich, Susanna Dorothee (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The long-term dynamics of predator populations may be driven by fluctuations in resource availability and reflect ecosystem changes such as those induced by climate change. The Icelandic Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population ...

    • Phylogeography, genetic diversity, and connectivity of brown bear populations in Central Asia 

      Tumendemberel, Odbayar; Zedrosser, Andreas; Proctor, Michael F.; Reynolds, Harry V.; Adams, Jennifer R.; Sullivan, Jack M.; Jacobs, Sarah J.; Khorloojav, Tumennasan; Tserenbataa, Tuya; Batmunkh, Mijiddorj; Swenson, Jon; Waits, Lisette P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Knowledge of genetic diversity and population structure is critical for conservation and management planning at the population level within a species’ range. Many brown bear populations in Central Asia are small and ...

    • Tick-borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from migratory birds in southern Norway 

      Pedersen, Benedikte Nevjen; Jenkins, Andrew; Kjelland, Vivian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Birds are important hosts for the first life stages of the Ixodes ricinus tick and they can transport their parasites over long distances. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi ...

    • 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 ...
