TLDR
In this paper, a costbenefit analysis of moose harvesting in Scandinavia is presented within the framework of an age structured model with four categories of animals (calves, yearlings, adult females, and adult males).Citations

To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates
TL;DR: This work quantified the empirical evidence for whether the intended effects of feeding are met and whether any potential unintended consequences of feeding occur and under what conditions and found clear evidence that supplementary feeding enhanced reproduction and population growth under certain conditions.

Mapping value plurality towards ecosystem services in the case of Norwegian wildlife management: A Q analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the Q method was used to analyse the perceived and actual trade-offs related to Norwegian wildlife management, a source of prominent conflict in Norway, identifying and classifying distinct arguments in the wildlife management debate following the ecosystem services (ES) framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing moose harvests by the seat of your pants
TL;DR: A on-the-fly "seat of your pants" alternative to independent monitoring is management based solely on the kill of moose by hunters, which is usually sufficient to alert the manager to declines in moose abundance that warrant adjustments to harvest strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem services in Swedish forests
Karin Hansen,Mikael Malmaeus +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify, describe, quantify, and monetarily valuate the most important ecosystem services in Swedish forests, based on the CICES framework and the Cascade-model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economics of wildlife management—an overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make an explorative overview on two main research topics in economics of wildlife management: determination of population sizes and policy design, and point out a large and comprehensive research on each of these issues, in particular on the estimation of values and costs of wildlife.

Matrix population models : construction, analysis, and interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, the age-classified matrix model was used to analyze the life-cycle graph sensitivity analysis and evolutionary demography statistical inference time-varying and stochastic models.

Economics of harvesting age-structured fish populations.
TL;DR: Under specific conditions such as nonselective gear, optimal harvesting is proved to be a stationary cycle that represents pulse fishing that implies the existence of optimal sustainable harvesting depends on age-structured information.

Optimum Age-Specific Harvesting in a Nonlinear Population Model
TL;DR: In this article, the age-specific harvesting policy for maximizing equilibrium yield in a discrete-time, self-regenerating, age-structured population model is determined, assuming that survival of animals in their first year of life is density-dependent, while survival, growth and fertility at other ages are density-independent.

TL;DR: Managers facing the new challenges presented by recolonizing populations of large predators such as wolves should reduce the size of harvest quotas in order to avoid decreases in prey populations, and the general relationship between the harvesting strategy and yield maximization is not affected by wolf predation.
