1. Användning av GPS-halsband på renar i renskötsel
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and ManagementSammanfattning : Under början av 2000-talet började GPS-halsband användas på renar i renskötseln, sedan har användningen ökat och idag förekommer det hos nästintill alla samebyar. GPS-halsband används främst av renskötarna för att kunna följa renhjorden på avstånd, upptäcka eventuella kalvningsplatser samt populära flyttleder som hjorden och renskötarna använder. LÄS MER
2. Den shifting behaviour of female wolverines (Gulo gulo) in Northern Sweden
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : Many species of mammals make use of “den sites” for multiple purposes. Wolverine (Gulo gulo) females give birth to and rear their cubs in den sites during the denning season (February to June, hereafter denning season). LÄS MER
3. Preliminary findings of puma (Puma concolor) diet and livestock depredation in the Brazilian Caatinga
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : The puma (Puma concolor) has the largest distribution of any mammal in the Americas, but has disappeared from large areas of its former range. Half of the puma’s current distribution lies within Brazil where it is listed as Vulnerable. One major threat to the puma is human-induced mortality due to depredation on livestock. LÄS MER
4. Habitat preferences and shelter seeking behaviour of extensively kept Gotland Ponies
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and ManagementSammanfattning : The constant decline of permanent pastures in Sweden has a negative impact on biodiversity. A multidisciplinary project is investigating if the endangered native Gotland pony could be used to keep and restore the biodiversity of permanent pastures and forests, on a minimal labour input, without compromising the ponies’ welfare.

5. Activity patterns of snow leopards (Panthera uncia) at their kill sites
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is an elusive felid, native to the mountains in central Asia. Basic knowledge about the snow leopards’ ecology has long been lacking but is advancing with the help of the GPS-technology. GPS cluster analysis can provide insight in the diet and prey selection of elusive predators, such as the snow leopard. LÄS MER
