• Chewing lice Trichodectes pinguis pinguis in Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos) 

      Esteruelas, Nuria Fandos; Malmsten, Jonas; Bröjer, Caroline; Grandi, Giulio; Lindström, Anders; Brown, Paul; Swenson, Jon; Evans, Alina; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In April 2014 and 2015, we noted localized alopecia (neck, forelimbs, and chest) and hyperpigmentation on two adult brown bears (Ursus arctos) captured in central-south Sweden for ecological studies under the Scandinavian ...
    • Genetics of brown bears in northern Europe 

      Kopatz, Alexander (Chapter, 2023)
      From the dawn of wildlife genetics, brown bears in Scandinavia have been studied using molecular genetic methods and hence have been substantial in the development of these methods, which are now the gold standard in ...
    • Hypothyroidism in hibernating brown bears 

      Frøbert, Anne Mette; Nielsen, Claus G.; Brohus, Malene; Kindberg, Jonas; Fröbert, Ole; Overgaard, Michael T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Brown bears hibernate throughout half of the year as a survival strategy to reduce energy consumption during prolonged periods with scarcity of food and water. Thyroid hormones are the major endocrine regulators of basal ...
    • Landscape relatedness: detecting contemporary fine-scalespatial structure in wild populations 

      Norman, Anita J.; Stronen, Astrid V.; Fuglstad, Geir-Arne; Ruiz-Gonzalez, Aritz; Kindberg, Jonas; Street, Nathaniel R.; Spong, Göran (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Context Methods for detecting contemporary, finescale population genetic structure in continuous populations are scarce. Yet such methods are vital for ecological and conservation studies, particularly under a changing ...
    • Lead exposure in brown bears is linked to environmental levels and the distribution of moose kills 

      Brown, Ludovick; Fuchs, Boris; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Kindberg, Jonas; Rodushkin, Ilia; Zedrosser, Andreas; Pelletier, Fanie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Lead (Pb) is heterogeneously distributed in the environment and multiple sources like Pb ammunition and fossil fuel combustion can increase the risk of exposure in wildlife. Brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Sweden have higher ...
    • Leukocyte coping capacity as a tool to assess capture- and handling-induced stress in Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos) 

      Esteruelas, Nuria Fandos; Huber, Nikolaus; Evans, Alina; Zedrosser, Andreas; Cattet, Marc; Palomares, Francisco; Angel, Martine; Swenson, Jon; Arnemo, Jon Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are often captured and handled for research and management purposes. Although the techniques used are potentially stressful for the animals and might have detrimental and long-lasting consequences, ...
    • Proximity-sensors on GPS collars reveal fine-scale predator–prey behavior during a predation event: A case study from Scandinavia 

      Tallian, Aimee Grace; Mattisson, Jenny; Stenbacka, Fredrik; Neumann, Wiebke; Johansson, Anders; Støen, Ole-Gunnar; Kindberg, Jonas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Although the advent of high-resolution GPS tracking technology has helped increase our understanding of individual and multispecies behavior in wildlife systems, detecting and recording direct interactions between free-ranging ...
    • Restoration of transborder connectivity for Fennoscandian brown bears (Ursus arctos) 

      Kopatz, Alexander; Kleven, Oddmund; Kojola, Ilpo; Aspi, Jouni; Norman, Anita J.; Spong, Göran; Gyllenstrand, Niclas; Dalén, Love; Fløystad, Ida; Hagen, Snorre; Kindberg, Jonas; Flagstad, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Knowledge about the connectivity among natural populations is essential to identify management units for effective conservation actions. Conservation-minded management has led to the recovery of large carnivore populations ...
