  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. 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

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. Direct and indirect effects of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) herbivory on an island population of Chequered blue butterfly (Scolitantides orion).

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexandra Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Scolitantides orion; Chequered blue butterfly; oviposition; oviposition behaviour; Indirect and direct effects; herbivory;

    Abstract : Herbivory by ungulates is a known agent of disturbance in many ecological systems around the globe. At high abundances and through a selective foraging behaviour herbivory may inflict significant direct and indirect effects on local plant and animal communities. READ MORE

  6. 10. Factors determining agricultural damage from foraging ungulates : an experimental study using exclosures in oat- and grass fields

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

    Author : Markus Velin; [2021]
    Keywords : ungulates; foraging; biomass loss; NDVI; drones;

    Abstract : Ungulates foraging on and damaging agricultural crops are a common phenomenon worldwide, which create conflicts between stakeholders with different economic interests. Further, the spatiotemporal distribution of food and the quality of food is often referred to as the “foodscape”. READ MORE
