https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue Search results en This dataset contains anonymised, analysis-ready movement and behavioural data from GPS-collared female moose (Alces alces) monitored during the calving season in central Sweden between 2020 and 2025. The dataset was compiled to investigate how female moose respond behaviourally to the survival or loss of their calves following confirmed predation by brown bears (Ursus arctos). The study specifically examined whether calf loss influenced maternal movement rates, space use, behavioural states, and recovery following predation events. Female moose were equipped with GPS collars programmed to record locations at 30-minute intervals. Parturition dates were identified from abrupt reductions in female movement and subsequently verified through field observations. Following confirmation of birth, calf survival was monitored throughout the calving season. Suspected mortality events detected from changes in maternal movement behaviour triggered additional field investigations. Each row in the dataset represents a GPS-based observation of a female moose at a particular date and time. Variables therefore describe the movement behaviour, spatial ecology, and reproductive status of the mother at that observation, together with information about calf survival and predation events. To protect study animals and comply with ethical and conservation requirements, original GPS coordinates, timestamps, geographic locations, and animal identifiers have been removed or anonymised. Anonymous identifiers are provided for each monitored female. The repository includes: An anonymised analysis-ready dataset. A data dictionary describing all variables and units. An R script documenting the processing steps used to derive movement metrics, behavioural states, home-range estimates, and model-specific datasets from the original telemetry data. All analyses were conducted using R software.
