  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Wild boar feeding site effects on targeted and non-targeted species

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Emma Engvall; [2022]
    Keywords : artificial feeding; baiting; establishment; rooting; diversity; species richness;

    Abstract : Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is an ungulate species that is increasing in Europe and Sweden, and with that causing conflicts and problems in agriculture. Wild boar are omnivores and are often rooting in the ground to find food items. READ MORE

  4. 3. How Hunters’ Harvest Rate Varies in Response to Population Densities of Fallow Deer (Dama dama), Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), and Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Felicia Skorsdal; [2022]
    Keywords : Bayesian statistics; Capreolus capreolus; Dama dama; Hunters’ harvest rate; Ungulate management; Spatiotemporal analysis; Sus scrofa;

    Abstract : For many species, population size data is difficult to obtain or even unavailable. Therefore, estimations or indirect abundance measures of populations are crucial for ungulate management. Hunting has an important role in wildlife management, and is a partnership between state, landowners, and hunting communities. READ MORE

  5. 4. Can hunter’s local ecological knowledge be used in management of multi-ungulate systems? : a combination of local ecological knowledge and scientific knowledge to add a finer resolution to current management strategies

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

    Author : Sandra Pettersson; [2021]
    Keywords : local ecological knowledge; LEK; scientific knowledge; SK; wildlife management; ungulate management; multi-ungulate systems;

    Abstract : Management and conservation of wildlife populations are generally based on scientific knowledge (SK) and monitoring to establish reliable information. The information gathered and presented from SK is interpreted by individuals who can have different ways of interpreting the same type of information. READ MORE

  6. 5. The road and landscape features affecting the occurrence of ungulate-vehicle hotspots in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Bwalya Chibwe; [2021]
    Keywords : ungulate-vehicle collisions; landscape analysis; hotspots; moose; roe deer; fallow deer; reindeer; wild boar;

    Abstract : European ungulate populations are increasing both in number and distributional range, resulting in more ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVC). These UVC cause socio-economic losses and are a growing problem in Sweden. Since 2010, drivers in Sweden are legally obliged to report UVC-accidents to the police. READ MORE
