  1. 1. Micro habitat selection of herbivores in response to perceived predation risk and forage quality in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi game reserve

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

    Författare :Edvin Rapp; [2017]
    Nyckelord :habitat selection; trade-off; predation risk; forage quality; Hluhluwe-iMfolozi;

    Sammanfattning : Predators can affect prey in many ways both through direct predation and by altering their prey’s behavior and spatial distribution. Habitat selection for prey animals is therefore a trade-off between resource availability and predation risk. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The repulsive shrub : impact of an invasive shrub on habitat selection by African large herbivores

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

    Författare :David Rozen-Rechels; [2015]
    Nyckelord :invasive plants; large herbivores; savanna; habitat selection; clearing;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive plants, growing and spreading outside of their native range, can severely modify ecosystems. Herbivory has often been seen as a potential control of invasions, but has rarely been considered as a potential impacted trophic level. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interaktionsbeteenden hos vårtsvin (Phacochoerus africanus) mot människor i Kenya

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Författare :Linnea Forslind; [2015]
    Nyckelord :warthog; vårtsvin; interactions; behaviour; Kenya; interaktioner; beteende; Phacochoerus africanus;

    Sammanfattning : Vårtsvin (Phacochoerus africanus) har en komplex beteenderepertoar. De vuxna individerna lever naturligt i matriarkala grupper och populationens dynamik påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Vårtsvin kommer i kontakt med människor eftersom de föredrar mark som har blivit påverkad av människor, exempelvis gräsmattor eller rancher. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The secret role of elephants : mediators of habitat scale and within-habitat scale predation risk

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

    Författare :Ursa Flezar; [2014]
    Nyckelord :elephant impact; predation risk; coarse woody debris; immediate risk; Hluhluwe-iMfolozipark;

    Sammanfattning : Elephants have long been recognized as important mediators of savannah vegetation structure. With their activities, like feeding on woody plants they may increase visibility of a habitat and produce coarse woody debris within that habitat. LÄS MER
