Newest publication of our soon-to-be PhD, Anne Randi Græsli is out! In this paper she used a combination of body temperature and activity data to detect parturition in free-ranging pregnant moose sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #ecophysiology #moose #biologging

Interested in moose? Our PhD student Anne Randi Græsli will defend her PhD, titled "Ecophysiology of moose. Basic physiology and responses to stressors" Friday in two weeks (December 9th)! The whole defense is public and also on zoom, starting at 11:15! inn.no/english/resear…

Our latest Laboratory & Wildlife Newsletter is out! Check it out: mailchi.mp/star-oddi/wild…

One of our PhD students published her first paper in Frontiers! Congrats Lucie! She looked at how environmental and maternal factors drive the timing of gestation and reproductive success in Scandinavian brown bears! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #wildlife #brownbear #ecophysiology

Congratulations Dr. Dr. Græsli!!! #moose #PhD #ecophysiology

Check out one of our newest publications in Viruses MDPI! This is the first thorough investigation among Icelandic wild reindeer on virus infections. Parapoxvirus, a zoonotic virus present in sheep, was found in two apparently healthy reindeer. mdpi.com/1999-4915/15/2… #onehealth

Nematodirus battus, a pathogenic sheep parasite, reveals all! Salt licks are likely hotspots for pathogen transmission between wild reindeer and sheep in the Norwegian mountains Pathogens MDPI mdpi.com/2076-0817/12/2… @HiInnlandet Nord universitet NINA naturforskning Veterinærinstituttet

Meat from game harvested with lead ammunition poses a risk for consumers: #leadpoisoning #leadammunition #hunting link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Consumption of slaughter remains discarded by moose hunters is a likely significant pathway of Pb exposure and this exposure is additive to environmental Pb exposure in female brown bears in Sweden. STOTEN #leadpoisoning #leadammunition sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What can we learn from hibernating bears? We found that bears and humans induce thromboprotective mechanisms under longterm immobilization.⁦Science Magazine⁩. Great team work! ⁦Matthias Mann Lab⁩,⁦Ole Fröbert⁩ ⁦⁦DLR_de⁩ ⁦NASA⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New paper out in collaboration with the moose research group at SLU Wild Research in European Journal of Wildlife Research (EJWR), using a multi-sensor approach to assess short-term thermal and behavioural responses of moose to helicopter-based chemical immobilisations. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

.@ArnemoJonM has teamed up with #scientists worldwide to draw attention to the fact that #hunting ammunition remains a significant source of lead exposure in humans and #wildlife. @HiInnlandet bit.ly/3Ouzq1C

New paper on brown bears in Frontiers in Zoology! Here we show that the bears' body temperature, heart rate and hibernation length is related to body mass. Check it out: frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… BMC #brownbear #ecophysiology

Some of us are attending and presenting at the International Symposium of Wildlife Capture and Chemical Immobilization these days in the beautiful Parco Maiella. Great opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss the state of the art on how to capture wild animals!

In the following study, the short- and long-term consequences of capture and surgery on brown bear behaviour and physiology was evaluated ➡️ doi.org/10.1017/awf.20…
