  1. 6. Tick-borne diseases in roe deer - seroprevalence, possible cut-off and effects on health

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Matilda Friberg Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Anaplasma phagocytophilum; Borrelia burgdorferi s.l; tick-borne encephalitis virus; roe deer; Capreolus capreolus; tick-borne pathogens;

    Abstract : Understanding the interaction between roe deer and pathogens could potentially help us improve the health in both roe deer and humans.

  3. 7. Day or night? Testing thermal imaging technology for estimating ungulate population densities in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Julia Nowak; [2023]
    Keywords : monitoring; ungulates; thermal imaging; population density; distance sampling; Dama dama;

    Abstract : To be able to make a proper judgement and choose the best management or conservation solution when working with populations of wild ungulates or any other wildlife, it is important to obtain good estimates of population densities. Inventing or improving wild animal monitoring methods is a key to protect what may be endangered or to avoid human-wildlife conflicts. READ MORE

  4. 8. Wild boar and roe deer in conflict? : an analysis of interspecific interactions under different wild boar densities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Nina Eileen Long; [2023]
    Keywords : feeding displacement; generalized additive models; interference competition; wild boar; roe deer;

    Abstract : Roe deer and wild boar are both highly successful species of cervid found across much of Europe, and while similarities exist between them, to what extent do wild boar impact the daily activity pattern of roe deer at feeding sites? While a few studies explore interspecific interactions between ungulate species in Sweden, only a little research has been done on how wild boar and roe deer interact. This study aims to minimize the gap in knowledge surrounding these two species and the way they interact. READ MORE

  5. 9. Werewolves to Are-wolves? Characterising key factors affecting public acceptance of a hypothetical Experimental Wolf Reintroduction in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Marta Lamorgese; [2023]
    Keywords : Ecosystem Restoration; Rewilding; Large Predator Reintroduction; Wolf Reintroduction; Public Participation; Social Acceptance; Ex-ante Policy Evaluation; Local Stakeholders Engagement; Integrated Landscape Management; Attitude Formation; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The newest Scottish government Biodiversity Strategy prioritises control of overabundant deer populations. Ecological theory and real-life instances suggest an unorthodox deer management solution: wolf reintroduction (WR). Theoretically, wolves would prey on deer, thus alleviate grazing pressure on Scottish vegetation and help landscapes thrive. READ MORE

  6. 10. SPATIO-TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF THE WOLF AND ITS PREY IN A MEDITERRANEAN AREA

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Giovanni Fini; [2022-08-29]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Starting from the 1970s, populations of top predators such as the wolf Canis lupushave been expanding across Europe thanks to the protective legislation andthe creation of many protected areas, the increased abundance of wild ungulates and other factors. The return of these animals can trigger significant consequences from the ecological as well as management points of view. READ MORE
