A life after Research? First Release of Harp Seals (Phoca groenlandica) after Temporary Captivity for Scientific Purposes
Blanchet, Marie-Anne; Acquarone, Mario; Biuw, Martin; Larsen, Roger B.; Nordøy, Erling Sverre; Folkow, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-08)Three wild-caught female harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) from the Greenland Sea stock were brought into temporary captivity in connection with a controlled validation study on energetics. The two pups and one adult were kept in two indoor and outdoor experimental facilities approved by the Norwegian Animal Research Authority. They were trained daily using operant conditioning to participate ... -
The Nasal Geometry of the Reindeer Gives Energy-Efficient Respiration
Magnanelli, Elisa; Wilhelmsen, Øivind; Acquarone, Mario; Folkow, Lars; Kjelstrup, Signe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-14)Reindeer in the arctic region live under very harsh conditions and may face temperatures below 233 K. Therefore, efficient conservation of body heat and water is important for their survival. Alongside their insulating fur, the reindeer nasal mechanism for heat and mass exchange during respiration plays a fundamental role. We present a dynamic model to describe the heat and mass transport that takes ...
