    • Prolonged chemical restraint of walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) with etorphine supplemented with medetomidine 

      Griffiths, David; Born, Erik W.; Acquarone, Mario (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Physiological studies involving the use of isotopic water required chemical restraint of free- ranging walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) for several hours. In August 2000, six male walrus (total body mass: 1050–1550 kg) were immobilized in East Greenland by remote delivery of 8.0–9.8 mg of etorphine and subsequently restrained for up to 6.75 h by administration of medetomidine. The effects of etorphine ...

      Resilience expresses the capacity of a social-ecological system to adapt to, absorb, or withstand perturbations and other stressors so that the system remains. Reindeer nomadic husbandry is a coupled social-ecological system that sustains resilience by interacting with the animals and environment: either the herders adjust their actions to animal behavior or change this behavior in ways that suit ...
