J.; Mueller, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06-08)
      COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we compared movements and road avoidance of ...
    • Coprophagy in moose: A first observation 

      Spitzer, Robert; Åström, Cecilia; Felton, Annika M.; Eriksson, Monica; Meisingset, Erling L.; Solberg, Erling Johan; Rolandsen, Christer Moe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01-06)
      Coprophagy, the eating of feces, has been documented in a wide range of species but appears to be rare or difficult to detect in deer (Cervidae). Here, we report the first observation of coprophagy in moose Alces alces, ...
    • Elgen i Stabbursdalen i Finnmark - Areabruk, trekk og leveområder 

      Meisingset, Erling L.; Brekkum, Øystein; Solberg, Erling Johan; Rødven, Rolf (NIBIO Rapport, Research report, 2024)
      Denne rapporten oppsummerer resultatene fra analyser av elgens forflytnings- og trekkmønster og leveområder for 12 GPS merka elger i Stabbursdalen nasjonalpark i Porsanger kommune i 2018. Ut fra GPS-elgenes posisjoner ble ...
    • Estimating and managing broad risk of chronic wasting disease spillover among cervid species 

      Mysterud, Atle; Solberg, Erling Johan; Meisingset, Erling L.; Panzacchi, Manuela; Rauset, Geir Rune; Strand, Olav; Van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Rivrud, Inger Maren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09-10)
      The management of infectious wildlife diseases often involves tackling pathogens that infect multiple host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that can infect most cervid species. CWD was detected in ...
    • Monitoring deer food and browsing in forests: Coherence and discrepancies between national and local inventories 

      Wam, Hilde Karine; Solberg, Erling Johan; Eriksen, Rune; Granhus, Aksel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)
      Field-based monitoring of deer food availability and browsing on recruiting forest trees is a necessary but labour-intensive task. We explored how such estimates from a low-resolution multipurpose national forest inventory ...
    • Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape 

      Bjørneraas, Kari; Solberg, Erling Johan; Herfindal, Ivar; Van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Tremblay, Jean-Pierre; Skarpe, Christina; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Eriksen, Rune; Astrup, Rasmus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Habitat alteration by humans may change the supply of food and cover for wild ungulates, but few studies have examined how these resources are utilised over time by individuals of different sex and reproductive status. We ...
    • Moose in our neighborhood: Does perceived hunting risk have cascading effects on tree performance in vicinity of roads and houses? 

      Mehlhoop, Anne Catriona; Van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Hagen, Dagmar; Granhus, Aksel; Eriksen, Rune; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Solberg, Erling Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-03)
      Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans ...
