      • Mar 2016 - Jun 2016

      During these four months of my internship I worked on three different projects. Two of these will be continued after the internship, where I will write a manuscript for publication in a scientific journal for each of these two projects. 1. In the first four weeks I designed and coordinated the data collection for a research project focusing on the foraging behaviour in large herbivores as revealed by eDNA in the Bavarian Forest National Park. 2. In the second project I am identifying which environmental variables influence the browsing intensity throughout Bavaria, Germany. (Started during my internship and currently continued by writing a manuscript) 3. In the third project I am evaluating the current status of wildlife management within protected areas across Europe in relation to naturalness concept.

      Topic: Moose (Alces alces) browsing patterns in recently planted clear-cut areas in relation to predation risk of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) in Sweden. The aim of this study was to test whether behaviorally mediated effects of gray wolf (Canis lupus) presence were visible in terms of browsing intensity by moose (Alces alces) on tree saplings in recently planted clear-cut areas in Sweden. The study involved two different spatial scales; the clear-cut scale and tree scale. This study suggests that moose foraging and thus its browsing intensity was more influenced by tree density and tree height than predation risk by wolves. However an interesting correlation is found. As a result, this study is currently continued and written in relation to human dominated landscapes. I am currently still writing this together with Dr. Joris Cromsigt, Dr. Håkan Sand, Dr. Dries Kuijper,Dr. Navinder Singh and Dr. Sip van Wieren. Show less
