    Keywords : Borrelia Burgdorferi sensu lato; DNA; external oligonucleotides; infection probability; prevalence; rodents; ungulates;

    Abstract : On a global scale, zoonotic vector-borne diseases pose an increasing threat towards human health. In Europe, the haemotophagous ectoparasite sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) acts as a pathogen vector for diseases like tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease with increasing annual incidences during the last decades.

    Abstract : Rådjuret (Capreolus capreolus) är ett av de mest spridda hjortdjuren och återfinns i nästan hela Europa. I Sverige är rådjuret ett av det mest jagade vilten. Lamningen sker i slutet av maj och i juni med en topp mellan 25:e maj och 7:e juni. Mortaliteten hos kiden är hög under den första levnadsmånaden. READ MORE

  4. 23. Comparison of three different indirect methods to evaluate ungulate population densities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Sabine Pfeffer; [2016]
    Keywords : wildlife ecology; density estimates; camera trapping - random encounter model; dung pellet group counts;

    Abstract : Reliable species population estimates are important for population conservation and management. Information about population sizes is needed to introduce certain preservation and regulation approaches. Several different methods, both performed in the field and analytical, can be used to estimate species densities. READ MORE

  5. 24. Does type of habitat affect tick-burden in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) neonates?

During two years and in two study areas, 105 fawns (57 fawns in Bogesund and 48 fawns in Grimsö) have been captured by hand and equipped with a radio-transmitter. READ MORE

  6. 25. Disentangling risk in a multi-predator landscape : roe deer respond to differing patterns of risk to lynx, wolves and humans through shifts in their habitat selection

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Andrew Lewis; [2015]
    Keywords : Canis lupus; Capreolus capreolus; indirect effects; landscape of fear; Lynx lynx; multi-predator systems; predation risk; Scandinavia; spatial risk patterns; ungulates;

    Abstract : Predation risk is known to evoke behavioural responses in prey animals, and prey are often faced with a trade-off between lowering their risk to predation and acquiring resources. This situation becomes more complex in a multi-predator landscape, especially if those predators employ different hunting strategies, and induce different spatial patterns of risk. READ MORE
