Jakt är vanligaste dödsorsaken för älg i vargrevir

En ny studie från Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Universitetet i Innlandet visar att jakt är den främsta orsaken till älgdöd i skandinaviska vargrevir. Forskare inom projektet Skandulv har analyserat data från 20 vargrevir mellan 2001 och 2022.

En studie utförd av forskare vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) och Universitetet i Innlandet har undersökt dödsorsaker för älg i vargrevir i Skandinavien. Resultaten, som sammanfattas på SLU:s webbplats, bygger på data från 20 vargrevir under perioden 2001 till 2022.

Analysen visar att jakt är den vanligaste orsaken till att älgar dör i dessa områden. Projektet Skandulv, som involverar forskare från båda länderna, har granskat informationen för att förstå älgpopulationens dynamik i närvaro av vargar.

Enligt studien avslutas flest älgars liv genom jägarnas insatser, trots vargens närvaro i reviren. Detta understryker jakttryckets betydelse för älgstammarna i regionen.

Studien ger insikter i hur mänsklig aktivitet påverkar viltet i skandinaviska ekosystem.

The incident, reported around 10 AM, involved the vehicle veering off in a sharp curve down a steep slope (or possibly into a tree/stream per varying reports), prompting a major emergency response and police investigation.

A study in Yellowstone National Park reveals that wolves frequently take over kills made by cougars, leading to tense interactions between the two predators. Cougars adapt by shifting their hunting focus to smaller deer to avoid encounters with wolf packs. The research, based on nine years of GPS tracking, highlights how these apex predators coexist amid changing prey availability.

On Prince of Wales Island in Alaska, gray wolves have begun hunting sea otters, a behavior that scientists are racing to understand. Led by University of Rhode Island Ph.D. candidate Patrick Bailey, the research explores how these predators capture marine prey and the broader ecological implications. This shift could link land and ocean food webs in unexpected ways.
