• Drones as a tool to monitor human impacts and vegetation changes in parks and protected areas 

      Ancin-Murguzur, Francisco Javier; Munoz, Lorena; Monz, Christopher; Hausner, Vera H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-04)
      Increased visitation to protected areas could have adverse impacts on the conservation values in the protected areas, and therefore effective visitor monitoring methods are needed to meet the complex management challenges that arise. Collecting data on human impacts is highly time consuming, thus requiring more effective tools that allow for high-quality and long-term measurements. In this study, ...
    • How well can near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) measure sediment organic matter in multiple lakes? 

      Ancin-Murguzur, Francisco Javier; Brown, Antony G.; Clarke, Charlotte; Sjøgren, Per; Svendsen, John Inge; Alsos, Inger Greve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)
      Loss-on-ignition (LOI) is the most widely used measure of organic matter in lake sediments, a variable related to both climate and land-use change. The main drawback for conventional measurement methods is the processing time and hence high labor costs associated with high-resolution analyses. On the other hand, broad-based near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a time and cost efficient ...
    • A Multi-Pathogen Screening of Captive Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Germany Based on Serological and Molecular Assays 

      Sanchez Romano, Javier; Grund, Lisa; Obiegala, Anna; Nymo, Ingebjørg Helena; Ancin-Murguzur, Francisco Javier; Li, Hong; Król, Nina; Pfeffer, Martin; Tryland, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-20)
      Captive reindeer in German zoos and wildlife parks live outside their natural geographic range and are exposed to a variety of viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens, some host-specific and some which they are not exposed to in their native habitat. Reindeer blood samples and ticks collected in 2013 from 123 reindeer at 16 different zoological facilities were available from a previous study. The ...
