Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.

Staying sheltered: geographical variation in nestbox use by a nocturnal raptor outside the breeding season

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Tree cavities and nestboxes are crucial resources for cavity‐nesting birds. While cavities are essential for reproduction, their importance outside the breeding season remains poorly understood, with most existing evidence focusing on nestbox use by small birds to reduce heat loss during winter.

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Recovery of Abies alba and Picea abies saplings to browsing and frost damage depends on seed source

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The density of wild ungulates has increased in the last century, and browsing has become a major driver of forest succession in the northern hemisphere.

Picea pungens 'Iseli Foxtail': 'Iseli Foxtail' Colorado Spruce

open access: yesEDIS, 2014
Colorado Spruce has a horizontal branching habit and grows taller than 75 feet in its native habitat, but is normally seen at 30 to 50 feet in landscapes. This cultivar is probably about the same size as the species.

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Picea orientalis: Oriental Spruce

open access: yesEDIS, 2006
Soaring to 120 feet in its native habitat, Oriental Spruce is more often seen at 25 to 40 feet in the landscape, growing slowly into a dense pyramidal silhouette which casts dense shade beneath.

The relative abundance of crop and natural food influences crop consumption by brown bears

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many mammalian species now inhabit anthropogenic landscapes, and human–wildlife conflicts, particularly pertaining to crop damage, have become a significant issue. To develop more effective measures to limit crop damage caused by wildlife, it is crucial to identify how natural and anthropogenic food availability affect crop use by wildlife in the ...
