  1. 11. Slaughter weight in relation to calving date : can area quality compensate for being born late?

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

    Author : Sanna-Maja Breiman Wistbacka; [2020]
    Keywords : moose; slaughter weight; birth timing; area quality;

    Abstract : The interaction between wildlife and environmental properties such as climate, water and forage availability and competition is a fundamental part when studying wildlife. In ungulates, mortality rates and reproductive success are closely linked to body condition. READ MORE

  3. 12. Gynnas talgoxens häckningsframgång av gallring i barrskogen? : en experimentell studie om anpassad skogsgallring

    Author : Angelia Ellvin; [2020]
    Keywords : talgoxe; häckningsframgång; boreal skog; gallring; undervegetation;

    Abstract : Skogsbruket orsakar strukturella förändringar som hotar biologisk mångfald världen över, men industrin är samtidigt nödvändig för samhället. Speciellt undervegetationen försvinner ofta vid låggallring (CT), som är den dominerande gallringsmetoden i bl.a. Skandinavien, Baltikum och Ryssland. READ MORE
