1. Ticking off the ungulate box : the role of different ungulate species in the transmission of tick-borne pathogens
Sammanfattning : Ungulates play a central role in the life cycle of Ixodes ricinus, an important vector of tick-borne pathogens, and several ungulate species are increasingly common across Europe. I investigated the role of these different species in the spread of I. ricinus-borne pathogens. LÄS MER
2. Trophic resource use and partitioning in multispecies ungulate communities
Sammanfattning : Over the past decades, ungulates across the northern hemisphere have been expanding in range and numbers. This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared resources with humans, e.g., timber trees. LÄS MER
3. Drivers of ungulate behavior in the context of human-wildlife conflicts : The effects of food, fear and temperature on ungulate landscape use and impacts
Sammanfattning : Ungulates inhabiting managed landscapes generate important ecosystem services. However, their landscape use may cause negative impacts on human land uses. Expanding ungulate populations in Europe lead to increased human-wildlife conflict, but is also perceived as positive by stakeholders that favor high ungulate numbers. LÄS MER
4. The use of highway crossings to maintain landscape connectivity for moose and roe deer
Sammanfattning : Increasingly wildlife managers and land managers are challenged to maintain the viability and connectivity among large mammal populations. Thus, it is important that effective highway crossings are identified and optimized with respect to construction cost, facilitation of ungulate movements, and ability to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. LÄS MER
5. Interactions between ungulates and forest insects
Sammanfattning : In forest ecosystems ungulates and insect herbivores often co-occur and utilise the same host trees. Herbivores that share a host plant can indirectly affect each other through plant induced responses. Such changes may affect plant growth, interactions with other species, and population dynamics.
