Intrinsic and environmental drivers of pairwise cohesion in wild <i>Canis</i> social groups Open
Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, sha…

The role of predation, forestry and productivity in moose harvest at different spatial levels of management units Open
Management of ungulate populations to the desired density and/or demographic composition are challenged by contrasting aims of different stakeholders. For example, hunters may want to maximize hunting opportunities whereas commercial fores…

Will future wind power development in Scandinavia have an impact on wolves? Open
The global energy demand is growing, and the world is shifting towards using more renewable energy, like increased onshore wind power development. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very High Frequency (VHF) location data from adu…

Carnivore guild utilization of hunter‐provided food sources in boreal forest Open
Scavenging is an alternative foraging strategy to predation for many carnivore species, as they shift between predation and scavenging in response to changes in resource availability. The use of carrion may lead to interspecific competitio…
View article: Carcass provisioning and intra-guild risk avoidance between two sympatric large carnivores
Carcass provisioning and intra-guild risk avoidance between two sympatric large carnivores Open
Apex carnivores that rely primarily on predation play a central but complex role within scavenging ecology by potentially suppressing intra-guild competitors, but also facilitating them by providing a reliable supply of carrion. We investi…

Effects of large carnivores, hunter harvest, and weather on the mortality of moose calves in a partially migratory population Open
Survival of juvenile ungulates represents an important demographic parameter that influences population dynamics within ecosystems. In many ecological systems, the mortality of juvenile ungulates is influenced by various factors, including…

Home range sizes of red deer in relation to habitat composition: a review and implications for management in Sweden Open
Knowledge about deer spatial use is essential for damage mitigation, conservation, and harvest management. We assess annual and seasonal home range sizes in relation to habitat composition for red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) in Sweden, using G…

Scavenging patterns of an inbred wolf population in a landscape with a pulse of human‐provided carrion Open
Scavenging is an important part of food acquisition for many carnivore species that switch between scavenging and predation. In landscapes with anthropogenic impact, humans provide food that scavenging species can utilize. We quantified th…

Effects of large carnivores, hunter harvest, and climate on the mortality of moose calves in a partially migratory population Open
Survival among juvenile ungulates is an important demographic trait affecting population dynamics. In many systems, juvenile ungulates experience mortality from large carnivores, hunter harvest and climate-related factors. These mortality …

Experimental feeding validates nanofluidic array technology for <span>DNA</span> detection of ungulate prey in wolf scats Open
The study of carnivores' diet is a key component to enhance knowledge on the ecology of predators and their effect on prey populations. Although molecular approaches to detect prey DNA in carnivore scats are improving, the validation of th…

Contrasting risk patterns from humans and a large carnivore influence the habitat selection of shared prey Open
Spatial patterns of human hunting and predation risk are mediated by the physical landscape, with human hunting risk often associated with habitat features contrasting those linked to risk from large carnivores. Risk patterns from hunters …

Spatial and temporal cohesion of parents and offspring in a social large carnivore Open
Social organization in animals is a fundamental factor driving population dynamics and individual spatial distribution. Affiliation among kin is common in social groups, but kinship is no safeguard against intraspecific competition. Within…

Environmental and anthropogenic features mediate risk from human hunters and wolves for moose Open
Landscape characteristics, seasonal changes in the environment, and daylight conditions influence space use and detection of prey and predators, resulting in spatiotemporal patterns of predation risk for the prey. When predators have diffe…

Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data Open
Humans pose a major mortality risk to wolves. Hence, similar to how prey respond to predators, wolves can be expected to show anti-predator responses to humans. When exposed to a threat, animals may show a fight, flight, freeze or hide res…

Rewilding by Wolf Recolonisation, Consequences for Ungulate Populations and Game Hunting Open
The ongoing recolonisations of human-transformed environments in Europe by large carnivores like the wolf Canis lupus means that conservation conflicts could re-surface, among other reasons, due to predation on ungulate game species. We es…

Whole-genome resequencing of temporally stratified samples reveals substantial loss of haplotype diversity in the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population Open
Genetic drift can dramatically change allele frequencies in small populations and lead to reduced levels of genetic diversity, including loss of segregating variants. However, there is a shortage of quantitative studies of how genetic dive…

Functional traits driving species role in the structure of terrestrial vertebrate scavenger networks Open
Species assemblages often have a non‐random nested organization, which in vertebrate scavenger (carrion‐consuming) assemblages is thought to be driven by facilitation in competitive environments. However, not all scavenger species play the…
