1. Sharing space with a larger relative : examining interspecific effects of fallow deer on roe deer performance
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : Interspecific competition of some form is a part of life for most species across the world. For some species it can be part of their evolutionary history over many thousands of years, while for others it is a more recent experience, as is the case of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and fallow deer (Dama dama), in Scandinavia.

2. Day or night? Testing thermal imaging technology for estimating ungulate population densities in southern Sweden
University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreAbstract : 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

3. Wild boar and roe deer in conflict? : an analysis of interspecific interactions under different wild boar densities
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : 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

4. Scots pine for fika : the role of local moose density in determining browsing damages to pine across commercial forests in Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : By browsing on young Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), moose (Alces alces) can cause significant damage to commercial forests. The National Forest Agency monitors browsing damage and moose faecal pellet groups annually on pre-defined plots throughout Sweden. READ MORE

5. Förekomst av rådjur och dovhjort i förhållande till varandra : möjliga effekter av födokonkurrens
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Competition in ecosystems can occur in different ways and it is especially important to understand the competition due to well-functioning game management in order to predict what will happen to the competitive situation if something change in the ecosystem. Competition between herbivores can limit certain ecosystem services or lead to a reduction in the biodiversity. READ MORE
