• Decomposing demographic contributions to the effective population size with moose as a case study 

      Lee, Aline Magdalena; Svalheim Markussen, Stine; Engen, Steinar; Solberg, Erling Johan; Haanes, Hallvard; Røed, Knut H.; Herfindal, Ivar; Heim, Morten; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Levels of random genetic drift are influenced by demographic factors, such as mating system, sex ratio and age structure. The effective population size (Ne) is a useful measure for quantifying genetic drift. Evaluating ...
    • Effects of inbreeding on fitness-related traits in a small isolated moose population 

      Haanes, Hallvard; Markussen, Stine Svalheim; Herfindal, Ivar; Røed, Knut H.; Solberg, Erling Johan; Heim, Morten; Midthjell, Liv; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Inbreeding can affect fitness-related traits at different life history stages and may interact with environmental variation to induce even larger effects. We used genetic parentage assignment based on 22 microsatellite ...
    • Elgens genetiske struktur i Norge 

      Solberg, Erling Johan; Røed, Knut H.; Flagstad, Øystein; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Heim, Morten; Andersen, Reidar; Rolandsen, Christer Moe (NINA Rapport;467, Research report, 2009)
      Elgen er en viktig naturressurs i Norge med stor økonomisk og rekreasjonsmessig betydning. Til tross for dette vet vi lite om elgens genetiske variasjon, og således evnen den norske elgen har til å takle forandringer i ...
    • Reconstructing the history of a fragmented and heavily exploited red deer population using ancient and contemporary DNA 

      Rosvold, Jørgen; Røed, Knut H.; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Andersen, Reidar; Stenøien, Hans K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Background Red deer (Cervus elaphus) have been an important human resource for millennia, experiencing intensive human influence through habitat alterations, hunting and translocation of animals. In this study we ...
    • Sex-biased dispersal in a northern ungulate population 

      Haanes, Hallvard; Røed, Knut H.; Rosef, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      In most mammals dispersal is male-biased and in many polygynous ungulates female philopatry and matrilineal grouping involve small-scale genetic structure. We have through sex-related differences in microsatellite allele ...
