Cameras do not always take a full picture: wolf activity patterns revealed by accelerometers versus road‐positioned camera traps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Molecular evidence for Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Israel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Sequences from the Anaplasma phagocytophilum 16S rRNA gene were detected in 5 ticks representing 3 species (Hyalomma marginatum, Rhipicephalus turanicus, and Boophilus kohlsi) collected from roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in Mount Carmel, Israel.

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Comparing life expectancy of three deer species between captive and wild populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Life in zoological gardens provides a number of benefits to captive animals, resulting in an artificial reduction of the "struggle for life” compared to their free-ranging counterparts.

Amino‐Acid Sequences of Red‐Deer and Roe‐Deer Pancreatic Ribonucleases [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1973
Pancreatic ribonucleases from red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreoluus) have been isolated and the amino acid sequences of both enzymes have been determined. Red deer ribonuclease exists only in a carbohydrate‐free form. Roe deer ribonuclease has been isolated both in a carbohydrate‐free form and in a glycosidated form.

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Prey Selection of Scandinavian Wolves: Single Large or Several Small? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Research on large predator-prey interactions are often limited to the predators' primary prey, with the potential for prey switching in systems with multiple ungulate species rarely investigated.

Dating the Cryptococcus gattii Dispersal to the North American Pacific Northwest. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The emergence of Cryptococcus gattii, previously regarded as a predominantly tropical pathogen, in the temperate climate of the North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) in 1999 prompted several questions.

Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares (Lepus timidus)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The direct effects of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well known for a long time. However, recently there has also been an increased focus on the indirect, non‐lethal effects of hunting. When approached by a possible threat such as a predator, the prey releases various stress hormones into the bloodstream.

Prevalence and co-infection with tick-borne Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia spp. in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in Southern Norway

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia spp. are causative agents of tick-borne infections that are increasingly considered as a threat to animal and public health.
