DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3287
Abstract: Abstract Livestock grazing affects over 60% of the world's agricultural lands and can influence rangeland ecosystem services and the quantity and quality of wildlife habitat, resulting in changes in biodiversity. Concomitantly, livestock grazing has the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4163
Abstract: Abstract Studying demographic history of species provides insight into how the past has shaped the current levels of overall biodiversity and genetic composition of species, but also how these species may react to future perturbations.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8744
Abstract: Abstract Over the last 20 years, ecological restoration of degraded habitats has become common in conservation practice. Mountain hares (Lepus timidus scoticus) were surveyed during 2017–2021 using 830 km of line transects in the Peak… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.725
Abstract: Wind energy development is an emerging source of anthropogenic disturbance that could affect greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) populations. Our objective was to determine the response of male sage-grouse attending leks (lek counts) to wind… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12686-020-01180-6
Abstract: Rapid anthropogenic climate change and progressing habitat degradation are considered top threats to biodiversity. The employment of demanding umbrella species as indicators for ecosystem health is a popular and cost-effective strategy that facilitates continuous monitoring… read more here.

Effects of hunting on genetic diversity, inbreeding and dispersal in Finnish black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Evolutionary Applications"
DOI: 10.1111/eva.13521
Abstract: Intensive hunting activities such as commercial fishing and trophy hunting can have profound influences on natural populations. However, less intensive recreational hunting can also have subtle effects on animal behaviour, habitat use and movement, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0221404
Abstract: Human-wildlife conflicts often centre on economic loss caused by wildlife. Yet despite being a major issue for land-managers, estimating total prey losses to predation can be difficult. Estimating impacts of protected wildlife on economically important… read more here.
