1. 1. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Maximilian Dörr; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Moose; Alces alces; habitat selection; tourism; human disturbance; activity; movement; speed; seasons; Covid-19; pandemic;

   Sammanfattning : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. LÄS MER

3. 2. The Plight of the Pangolin: Key patterns enabling the illegal wildlife trade of pangolins in Namibia - A multi-perspective case study

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management

   Författare :Sophie Berstermann; Carina Martens; [2023]
   Nyckelord :pangolin; illegal wildlife trade; wildlife trafficking; conservation; Namibia; poaching; communities; power; political ecology; social-ecological system; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth and is believed to be on the brink of extinction. However, in many affected countries including Namibia, research and conservation efforts do not match their endangered status. LÄS MER

4. 3. Behavioral response of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) to acoustic stimuli

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Författare :Johanna Börs; [2023]
   Nyckelord :reindeer; Rangifer tarandus; acoustic stimuli; behavioral response; flight response; induced fear;

   Sammanfattning : Scare systems based on acoustic stimuli have been tested on several ungulates in recent years. The aim has been to investigate whether the method can be useful in situations where the animals must quickly be displaced from a specific site, for example, to prevent wildlife accidents. LÄS MER

5. 4. Hawk-kite as a scaring method for avian pests in Kenyan rice fields

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Författare :Linnea Hollsten; [2023]
   Nyckelord :bird; crop; damage mitigation; pest control; repellent;

   Sammanfattning : The human population is increasing globally, and so are the human-wildlife interactions and conservation conflicts. One source of conservation conflict is the crop damage caused by wildlife. Crop damage is negatively affecting farmers, but also the wildlife due to lethal methods used to reduce the damage. LÄS MER

7. 5. The ecological impact of artificial light at night in landscape architecture : strategies and guidelines for street lights for the benefit of biodiversity and local wildlife

   Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Författare :Zozan Altun; [2023]
   Nyckelord :light pollution; artificial light at night; ecology; biodiversity; local wildlife; landscape architecture; guidelines; strategies;

   Sammanfattning : Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly common form of light pollution that contributes to biodiversity loss, loss of dark habitats, disrupting populations both on an individual- and population level by invading biodiversity hot spots. Recent studies show that artificial light is increasing at a rate of approximately 6% annually over Earth’s surface, and 88% of Europe and 47% of the United States experience light pollution on a nightly basis.
