Annual change in forest grouse in southern Norway: variation explained by temperatures, bilberry seed production and the lunar nodal phase cycle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Forage quality is rarely the focus of studies on grouse performance. The plant stress hypothesis predicts that the protein digestibility of a focal food plant for grouse in Norway, the bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus should ... -
Challenges of managing a European brown bear population; lessons from Sweden, 1943–2013
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Adaptive management’, which has been defined as the repeated iteration between management action, scientific assessment and revised management action, leading to a strengthened foundation for management, is required by ... -

Ecological implications from spatial patterns in human-caused brown bear mortality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Humans are important agents of wildlife mortality, and understanding such mortality is paramount for effective population management and conservation. However, the spatial mechanisms behind wildlife mortality are often ... -
Effects of large carnivores, hunter harvest, and weather on the mortality of moose calves in a partially migratory population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Endozoochory by brown bears stimulates germination in bilberry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The understory vegetation of the Eurasian boreal forest is dominated by several ericaceous species (e.g. bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus). These species invest large amounts of energy in their sexual reproduction by producing ... -

Gut retention time in captive brown bears Ursus arctos
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Knowing animals’ gut retention time (GRT) for important food items is critical when using non-invasive studies based on faecal remains, e.g. when analysing nutritive quality of food, or relating diet or behaviour to ... -

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, ... -

Seasonal and annual variation in the diet of brown bears Ursus arctos in the boreal forest of southcentral Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Understanding a species' feeding ecology is essential for successful management and conservation, because food abundance can influence body mass, survival, reproductive success, movements, and habitat use. We describe ... -
Snow leopard Panthera uncia predation on livestock and wild prey in a mountain valley in northern Nepal: implications for conservation management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The globally endangered snow leopard Panthera uncia is sparsely distributed throughout the rugged mountains in Asia. Its habit of preying on livestock poses a main challenge to management. In the remote Phu valley in ... -
