  1. 1. Behavioral response of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) to acoustic stimuli

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Johanna Börs; [2023]
    Keywords : reindeer; Rangifer tarandus; acoustic stimuli; behavioral response; flight response; induced fear;

    Abstract : Scare systems based on acoustic stimuli have been tested on several ungulates in recent years. The aim has been to investigate whether the method can be useful in situations where the animals must quickly be displaced from a specific site, for example, to prevent wildlife accidents. READ MORE

  3. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Permitting Processes in the European Union : An examination of Danish, German, Scottish and Swedish offshore permitting processes and case study of acoustic impact on marine mammals

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Truce Major Jack; [2022]
    Keywords : Permitting process; wind power; offshore wind power; acoustic impact; environmental impact assessment; marine mammals; physical planning; ecology; offshore; EIA; environmental management; juridiska förutsättningar; permit; tillstånd; tillståndsprocess; vindkraft; miljöledning; ekologi; energisystem; miljövetenskap; påverkan; bedömning; marin däggdjur;

    Abstract : The permitting process is an integral part of the successful expansion of offshore wind and renewable energy in the European Union. Many permit process studies, to date, have focused on limited methods and criteria and have been a comparison of two countries. READ MORE

  4. 3. Sonar Sea : The acoustic experience of the Baltic Sea dynamics

    University essay from Konstfack/Inredningsarkitektur & Möbeldesign

    Keywords : spatial design; the Baltic Sea; water; dynamics; atmosphere; sound; acoustic ecology; field recordings; nature; sensory experience; flow; performative space; art; science; companion species; installation; rumslig gestaltning; Östersjön; vatten; dynamik; atmosfär; ljud; akustisk ekologi; natur; sinnesupplevelse; konst; vetenskap; installation;

    Abstract : This thesis project aims to discuss the conditions and importance of water as a dynamic body in our environment, as water is affecting life on Earth on all levels. By focusing on the Baltic Sea, a sensitive body of water, I am exploring the acoustic characters of the sea dynamics through sound recordings at three bays in the Stockholm Archipelago. READ MORE

  5. 4. Should I stay or should I go : an experimental study on reactivity and habituation to acoustic stimuli in free-ranging ungulates

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Elina Bertne; [2021]
    Keywords : sound reactivity; novel sound; habituation; inter-individual variation; personality; roe deer;

    Abstract : Negative consequences of anthropogenic sound on wildlife is a well-established phenomenon and have received substantial attention in scientific literature. This evokes questions of what type of sounds perceived as disturbing or aversive to animals. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluating the behavioural response of moose (Alces alces) to acoustic stimuli

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Denice Lodnert; [2021]
    Keywords : Alces alces; behaviour; acoustic stimuli; behavioural response; acoustic deterrent; wildlife management;

    Abstract : Fear in animals is a motivational state that cause the animals to change their behaviour. 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
