Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape
(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?
(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 ... -
Moose selecting for specific nutritional composition of birch places limits on food acceptability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-20)Despite decades of intense research, it remains largely unsolved which nutritional factors underpin food selection by large herbivores in the wild. We measured nutritional composition of birch foliage (Betula pubescens) ... -
