Assemblage structure of fruitfeeding nymphalids (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in floodplain and upland forest at Cocha Cashu, Peru
(Master thesis, 2016-08-08)The Amazon is widely recognised as the most biodiverse area in the world. Within the Amazon, large tracts of forest are flooded each year, resulting in two dominant forest types – terra firme, unflooded forest and várzea, ... -
Assessing accuracy of using unmanned aerial system in forest inventory
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Few studies have used unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in forest inventory, and few studies have compared airborne laser scanning (ALS) and UASs. In the present study, a UAS was used in a forest inventory. Based on the UAS ... -
Assessing diet and prey handling in golden eagles Aquila chrysaetos by video monitoring at nest
(Master thesis, 2012-09-17)The diet and handling of prey in breeding golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) was studied by video monitoring one nest in southern Norway in a year of peak vole (Cricetidae) population and low willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) ... -
Assessing prey delivery and handling in Tengmalm's owl (Aegolius funereus) by video surveillance at nest
(Master thesis, 2014-09-24)Prey delivery and handling at four Tengmalm's owl (Aegolius funereus) nests was assessed by video monitoring in an increase year for the vole population. A total of 179 prey items was recorded delivered at the nest, and ... -
Assessing snow leopard (Uncia uncia) by sign surveys and camera trapping in Northern Pakistan
(Master thesis, 2012)The snow leopard (Uncia uncial) is an elusive carnivore often used as an indicator of human health or a flagship species in conservation programs. Like many other carnivores snow leopard is also an endangered species and ... -
Assessing territoriality in wolverines (Gulo gulo) using non-invasive genetic sampling
(Master thesis, 2014-09-17)Monitoring rare and elusive animals, such as large carnivores, is difficult and expensive. Non-invasive genetic sampling (NGS) has become a popular monitoring method, since it allows for spatial and genetic studies of rare ... -
Assessment of some variables affecting demersal assemblages of the Angolan coast.
(Master thesis, 2015-07-03)The globe is facing major problems with anthropogenic impacts such as human induced climate changes, a growing human population and a growing food and hunger problem. Since fish is of such a commercial importance, studies ... -
