Ane Eriksen

Ane Eriksen is an Associate Professor at the University of Inland Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology and the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management. Her research focuses on large carnivore ecology, predator-prey dynamics, and wildlife conservation in boreal ecosystems.

Key research interests include wolf behavior, moose population dynamics, and the impacts of human activities on wildlife. She leads projects like CarniForeGraze and Elg i Endring, exploring grazing practices in carnivore habitats and moose migration patterns. Collaborations involve SKANDULV (Scandinavian Wolf Research) and GRENSEVILT (cross-border wildlife management).

Her work integrates GPS tracking, accelerometer data, and ecological modeling to address conservation challenges. Recent studies investigate wind power development impacts on wolves, drone-based wildlife monitoring, and carnivore guild behavior around hunter-provided food sources.

Publications span topics like wolf territory density effects on moose quotas, predator-prey interactions in boreal forests, and endangered species conservation strategies. Eriksen's interdisciplinary approach bridges ecology, technology, and policy to advance sustainable wildlife management.
