1. How Hunters’ Harvest Rate Varies in Response to Population Densities of Fallow Deer (Dama dama), Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), and Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : For many species, population size data is difficult to obtain or even unavailable. Therefore, estimations or indirect abundance measures of populations are crucial for ungulate management. Hunting has an important role in wildlife management, and is a partnership between state, landowners, and hunting communities. READ MORE

2. The road and landscape features affecting the occurrence of ungulate-vehicle hotspots in Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : European ungulate populations are increasing both in number and distributional range, resulting in more ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVC). These UVC cause socio-economic losses and are a growing problem in Sweden. Since 2010, drivers in Sweden are legally obliged to report UVC-accidents to the police. READ MORE

Anti-predator behaviour is innate behaviours shown by prey species in situations where there is an increased risk of predation. This can be caused by the presence of the actual predator or by implied presence by acoustic, olfactory or visual cues. READ MORE

4. The effect of wildlife fences on ungulate vehicle collisions
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Many of Sweden’s roads are fitted with wildlife fences to decrease the risk of ungulate vehicle collisions (UVCs). Nevertheless has it been observed that at the ends of these fences, the number of collisions actually increases. In this thesis, I examined if collision probability decreased with an increasing dis-tance from the fence end. READ MORE
