  1. 26. Identifying blackspots of wildlife collisions on the Swedish railroad

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Sofia Willebrand; [2017]
    Keywords : blackspots; train-wildlife collisions; roe deer; moose;

    Abstract : The number of wildlife collisions on the Swedish railroads is increasing at a rate unmatched by the development of wildlife populations and expansion of the railroad traffic. It is therefore essential to identify areas where the yearly risk of collisions is great (blackspots), to be able to allocate mitigating efforts in areas where they are most essential and effective.

    Keywords : moose; browsing intensity; wolf; spatial scales; distance to forest edge; tree height and tree density;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to test whether behaviorally mediated effects of gray wolf (Canis lupus) presence were visible in terms of browsing intensity by moose (Alces alces) on tree saplings in recently planted clear-cut areas in Sweden. The study involved two different spatial scales; the clear-cut scale and tree scale. READ MORE
