Exploitative Competition between Mountain Hare and Moose—Qualitative Effects on Hare Winter Forage?

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Mountain hares (Lepus timidus) in Scandinavia are classified as Near Threatened in the Norwegian and Swedish Redlists. This is due to a possible population decline witnessed during the last decades in Scandinavia. Competition between large herbivores and

Impact of protection methods and abiotic factors on Nothofagus pumilio seedlings mortality in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2023
National parks (NP) are the last refugia of forests dominated by the Nothofagus species in Chile. However, frequent, careless human-caused fires are destroying these forests even within the national parks. After large-scale fires, N.

Estimating damage caused by wild animals to crops by comparing yields

open access: yesJournal für Kulturpflanzen, 2021
Growing populations of large herbivores have caused significant damage to crops in recent years. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of reliable methods for determining the extent of the damage and for the subsequent calculation of the compensation ...

Moose in our neighborhood: Does perceived hunting risk have cascading effects on tree performance in vicinity of roads and houses?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans have caused moose and other ...

Deer Exclusion Changes Vegetation Structure and Hunting Guilds of Spiders, but Not Multitrophic Understory Biodiversity

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Ungulate herbivores modify plant community compositions, which can modulate biodiversity at higher trophic levels. However, these cascading effects on herbivorous and predatory arthropods in forest ecosystems remain poorly understood.

Roe deer browsing effects on growth development of Turkey oak and chestnut coppices.

open access: yesAnnals of Silvicultural Research, 2010
Over the last three decades wild ungulates populations in Italy increased to values ranging from 300% to 600%. As a consequence, in Italy as well as in other European countries, situations with high ungulate density and, then, negative effects on the ...

Supporting the active learning of collaborative database browsing techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We describe the implications of a study of database browsing behaviour for the development of a system to support more effective browsing. In particular we consider the importance of collaborative working, both in learning browsing skills and in co ...
