Assessing the effect of environmental variables on microhabitat selection and distribution for seven amphibian species in Colombia using in-situ and MaxEnt approaches
Alba Contreras, Luis Guillermo (Master thesis, 2018)Colombia is recognized as one of the most biologically diverse places in the world with a high level of endemism. In addition, it is the country with the highest number of amphibian species, but also the highest number of ... -
Biomass and carbon loss from selective logging and associated collateral damage in Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
Aannestad, Malin Sahlin (Master thesis, 2020)Tropical forests are pivotal in global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. Even though the value of tropical forests has been shown multiple times, they are still experiencing multiple pressures, threatening ... -
Birds on camera : assessing avifaunal detections by camera traps in the Amazon
Austad, Anne-Marie (Master thesis, 2021)Camera traps have become an increasingly useful tool for biodiversity surveys in tropical forests, but most of these studies focus on larger-bodied terrestrial vertebrates, particularly mammals. To date few camera trap ... -
Home ranges of domestic cats (Felis catus) in south-eastern Norway
Bachmann, Bettina (Master thesis, 2020)Small GPS units were used to track pet cats in south-eastern Norway from august 2019 to November 2019, in order to obtain home range size estimates. In total, 111 (51 females and 60 males) cats were tracked using their ... -

Personality differences among domestic cats (Felis catus) in Norway and how they affect home range size
Kisen, Astrid (Master thesis, 2021)Research on animal personalities has greatly increased in the last few decades, revealing it as an influential contribution to survival and space utilisation. Domestic cats pose a risk to wildlife through disease transmission ... -
Phylogenetic diversity and evolutionary distinctiveness of Amazonian floodplain forest birds
Anantha Krishnan, Sinduja (Master thesis, 2022)The Amazon basin contains one-fifth of all free-flowing fresh water on the planet and is home to the largest tropical rainforest on Earth. However, the region is not homogenous and is interspersed with several different ... -
Space use and preferred places among domestic cats in Ås, south-eastern Norway
Prestmoen, Lillian (Master thesis, 2022)Cats are popular pets and are usually allowed to roam free when owners let them out of the house. The home range size of cats has been well studied, but we know very little about how cats use the space within their home ... -
Spatio-temporal ecology of Amazonian freshwater turtles
Hinderaker, Sven Emil (Master thesis, 2021)Amazonian freshwater turtles are a key component of the Amazonian waterscape and an important resource for riverine communities. However, extensive exploitation combined with habitat alteration and climate change has ... -
Temperature shapes the daily temporal distribution of Neotropical mammals
