Habitat characteristics associated with wolverine den sites in Norwegian multiple‐use landscapes
Abstract Successful wolverine ( G ulo gulo ) reproduction, and thereby population viability especially in multiple‐use landscapes, is likely to be enhanced by availability of suitable den sites. We investigated which topographic features were selected for reproductive den sites by female wolverines...
