    Author : Rebecka Relfsson; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : African savanna elephant; elephant highways; interspecies interactions; predation avoidance; predator-prey interaction; temporal activity;

    Abstract : African savanna elephants (Loxondonta africana) are the world’s largest land-mammal and are considered a keystone species. The effect they have on vegetation and their environment is well known, but their effect on other animal species is less studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

    Keywords : fishing; climate change; temperature; predator; consumer; resource; stage-specific; food webs; ontogenetic assymetry; biomass overcompensation; emergent Allee effects; limit cycles;

    Abstract : Predicting the effects of fishing in a warmer environment caused by climate change requires knowledge of what trophic level is fished on, the physiological effects of temperature on fish, and how these two affect ecological interactions. Both temperature and fishing are known to affect the stability of food webs in several ways. READ MORE
