Abstract

The date of the first observation of regionally common migratory birds within the Grimsö Wildlife Research Area (GWRA) has been recorded annually since 1985. Species observations (visual and/or auditory) are noted on a central list by any staff member. Observations are not made during a dedicated survey but can be made during field work, commuting, free time etc., but must occur within GWRA. The survey runs continuously, but data is compiled yearly.

Description - Other

Grimsö Wildlife Research Station, located in central Sweden’s Bergslagen region, focuses on applied ecology for wildlife and natural resource management. The 13,000-hectare research area is dominated by intensively managed spruce and pine forest, interspersed with lakes, streams, and wetlands, and lies along the Limes Norrlandicus meaning that the climate is a mix of hemi-boreal and boreal. The station, established in 1974, has been affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences since 1992, and has approximately 40 staff members. Equipped with facilities like a genetic laboratory and game handling facility, it supports various wildlife survey techniques and offers assistance in planning and fieldwork. The station conducts extensive wildlife monitoring, with time series beginning in the 1970s, covering topics such as population dynamics, reproduction, and life history traits of moose, roe deer, red fox, voles, and starlings, along with tick surveys, phenology data, and weather data. Grimsö Wildlife Research Station serves as a hub for wildlife research and plays a crucial role in scientific research supporting Sweden's wildlife management through genetic studies, animal behavior, and human-wildlife conflict research.
