  1. 21. Using camera traps to identify the influence of seasonal climate variations on the passage rates of a multi-species ungulate community in Öster Malma, Sweden

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

    Author : Nicholas Varley; [2019]
    Keywords : ungulates; passage rates; temperature; snow depth; camera trap;

    Abstract : Future climate change projections have consistently shown that globally we are heading for hotter summers, milder winters and less precipitation. Climate changes such as increasing temperatures will have an impact on the behaviour and distribution of both flora and fauna with shifts in their ranges in accordance with their climate boundaries.

  3. 22. Using camera traps to compare the habitat choice of different deer species in hunting versus non-hunting season

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

    Author : Laura Juvany Canovas; [2019]
    Keywords : ungulates; camera trapping; occupancy modelling;

    Abstract : A general increase in ungulate populations calls for a better understanding of their habitat use and movement at small spatial scales. This understanding is necessary for the development of useful management actions to solve possible human-wildlife conflicts. One proposed management action is to use the indirect effects of hunting.

  4. 23. The relative importance of beavers (Castor fiber) and browsers on the recruitment of broad-leaved trees in riparian areas

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Matilda Karlsson; [2019]
    Keywords : beaver; Castor fiber; ungulates; herbivory; broad-leaved; riparian; conservation management;

    Abstract : Managed forest landscapes in Sweden are dominated by boreal coniferous forest and are deficient in broad-leaved trees. Both beavers (Castor fiber) and ungulate browsers prefer broad-leaved trees to conifers, and the interaction between multiple herbivores may have a considerable impact on the recruitment of deciduous trees in riparian areas.

  5. 24. Variations in nutritional content of key ungulate browse species in Sweden

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

    Author : Leonardo Capoani; [2019]
    Keywords : ungulate diet; cervids; nutrition; browsing; Sweden; NIR; NDF; protein;

    Abstract : Understanding variations in the nutritional content of key ungulate browse species is not an easy task. Overall, my study focused to understand seasonal variations in nutritional values, available to wild browsers, found in the main tree and shrub species present in Scandinavia. READ MORE

  6. 25. Effects on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) in the sapling stage from ungulate browsing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Markus Velin; [2019]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Ecosystem services from forestry are highly valuable and may be limited by ungulate browsing. Thus, I investigated the impact and seasonality of browsing on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) using seasonal exclosures. READ MORE
