Consequences of reduced sampling intensity for estimating population size of wolves in Scandinavia with spatial capture-recapture models
Milleret, Cyril; Dupont, Pierre; Åkesson, Mikael; Svensson, Linn; Brøseth, Henrik; Bischof, Richard (MINA fagrapport;65, Report, 2020)Every winter, the Scandinavian wolf population is surveyed using non-invasive genetic sampling (NGS) and snow-tracking to assess its annual status and trends. During 2017/18, search intensity and the proportion of samples ... -
Estimates of wolf density, abundance, and population dynamics in Scandinavia, 2012 - 2021
Milleret, Cyril; Dupont, Pierre; Åkesson, Mikael; Brøseth, Henrik; Kindberg, Jonas; Bischof, Richard (MINA fagrapport;72, Report, 2021)Background The Scandinavian wolf (Canis lupus) population is being monitored annually using non-invasive genetic sampling (NGS) and recovery of dead individuals. DNA extracted from faeces, urine, hair, and tissue is used ... -
Estimating and forecasting spatial population dynamics of apex predators using transnational genetic monitoring
Bischof, Richard; Milleret, Cyril Pierre; Dupont, Pierre; Chipperfield, Joseph; Tourani, Mahdieh; Ordiz Fernandez, Andres Avelino; de Valpine, Perry; Turek, Daniel; Royle, J. Andrew; Gimenez, Olivier; Flagstad, Øystein; Åkesson, Mikael; Svensson, Linn; Brøseth, Henrik; Kindberg, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ongoing recovery of terrestrial large carnivores in North America and Europe is accompanied by intense controversy. On the one hand, reestablishment of large carnivores entails a recovery of their most important ... -
Estimating the size of the Scandinavian wolf population with spatial capture-recapture and conversion factors
Bischof, Richard; Milleret, Cyril; Dupont, Pierre; Chipperfield, Joseph; Åkesson, Mikael; Brøseth, Henrik; Kindberg, Jonas (MINA fagrapport;57, Report, 2019)Monitoring of wolves (Canis lupus) in Scandinavia is a coordinated effort between Swedish and Norwegian management authorities. Since 2012/13, the size of the Scandinavian wolf population is being estimated indirectly by ... -
No place like home? A test of the natal habitat-biased dispersal hypothesis in Scandinavian wolves
Sanz Perez, Ana; Ordiz Fernandez, Andres Avelino; Sand, Håkan; Swenson, Jon; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Zimmermann, Barbara; Åkesson, Mikael; Milleret, Cyril Pierre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Natal dispersal is an important mechanism for the viability of populations. The influence of local conditions or experience gained in the natal habitat could improve fitness if dispersing individuals settle in an area with ... -
Testing the influence of habitat experienced during the natal phase on habitat selection later in life in Scandinavian wolves
Milleret, Cyril; Ordiz, Andres; Sanz Perez, Ana; Uzal, Antonio; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Eriksen, Ane; Sand, Håkan; Wabakken, Petter; Wikenros, Camilla; Åkesson, Mikael; Zimmermann, Barbara (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) occurs when characteristics of the natal habitat influence the future habitat selection of an animal. However, the influence of NHPI after the dispersal phase has received remarkably ...
