Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest Open
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tracto…

Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares ( <i>Lepus timidus</i> ) Open
The direct effects of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well known for a long time. However, recently there has also been an increased focus on the indirect, non‐lethal effects of hunting. When approached by a possibl…

Scottish mountain hares do not respond behaviorally to camouflage mismatch Open
Climate change has resulted in a myriad of stressors to wild organisms. Phenotypic plasticity, including behavioral plasticity, is hypothesized to play a key role in allowing animals to cope with rapid climate change and mitigate its negat…

Altitude, latitude and climate zone as determinants of mountain hare (<i>Lepus timidus</i>) coat colour change Open
Local adaptation to annually changing environments has evolved in numerous species. Seasonal coat colour change is an adaptation that has evolved in multiple mammal and bird species occupying areas that experience seasonal snow cover. It h…

Small rodent monitoring at Birkebeiner Road, Norway Open
Northern small mammal populations are renowned for their multi-annual population cycles. Population cycles are multi-faceted and have extensive impacts on the rest of the ecosystem. In 2011, we started a student-based research activity to …

Altitude, latitude, and climate zone as determinants of mountain hare (Lepus timidus) coat colour change Open
We utilized images from camera traps that were deployed by the SCANDCAM project (viltkamera.nina.no), originally designed to monitor Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx). Camera traps were deployed in multiple study areas in an extensive gri…

Exploitative Competition between Mountain Hare and Moose—Qualitative Effects on Hare Winter Forage? Open
Mountain hares (Lepus timidus) in Scandinavia are classified as Near Threatened in the Norwegian and Swedish Redlists. This is due to a possible population decline witnessed during the last decades in Scandinavia. Competition between large…

Economic Gain vs. Ecological Pain—Environmental Sustainability in Economies Based on Renewable Biological Resources Open
There are two main international strategies concerning how to ensure a sustainable environment: one is to develop a globally bio-based economy, or bioeconomy, to meet the increased demand of goods and products to maintain our well-being an…

Impacts of wolves on rural economies from recreational small game hunting Open
Centralized management of large carnivore populations in rural and remote landscapes used by local people often leads to conflicts between the objectives of wildlife conservation and rural development. We tested the hypothesis that the pre…

Efficient application of a browsing repellent: Can associational effects within and between plants be exploited? Open
Browsing can reduce forest productivity, particularly when the apical shoots of trees are damaged. Repellents are used widely to reduce browsing, but application is costly. To improve efficiency, it may be possible to take advantage of ass…

Ulv og utmarksressurser: Økonomiske konsekvenser av ulv på inntekter fra småviltjakt Open
Sentralisert forvaltning av store rovdyr fører ofte til konflikter med lokale interesser og bruk av skogslandskapet. Jakt og jakthunder er viktige både økonomisk og kulturelt. Tilstedeværelse av ulv kan føre til at jegere med hund velger å…

Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snow cover and predator abundance Open
In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background coloration. Here, we …
