Living under the scope: behavior affects survival in a heavily harvested and long‐lived ungulate
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The spatiotemporal behavior of game species may play a critical role in their survival throughout the hunting season. Where humans are the most dominant predators, avoidance of landscape features that allow hunter access to hunting grounds can be key to increasing survival.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...
