| description | The hunting dogs have increased in Sweden during the last thirty years, in total number of dogs and in number of hunting dog breeds. There has been a shift in the breed composition, new hunting methods and new game species that have resulted in more hunting opportunities which have brought new breeds of hunting dogs to Sweden. By studying forty-eight breeds of hunting dogs and seven game species in Sweden the results show significant relationships between the hunting dog breeds and the game species populations. The most interesting result is the rapid increase of wild boar population in southern Sweden, where they show a strong synergistic pattern with the hunting dog breeds. The results also show that the increase of the ungulate populations increases the abundance of blood tracking hounds. For future wildlife management, assumptions of an increasing game population are needed to be managed to prevent damage on agriculture, forestry and traffic accident. One suggested method to prevent those damages is to hunt, of which the hunting dog breeds are in highest importance for efficiency. |

Under de senaste trettio åren har jakthundarna i Sverige ökat i det totala antalet jakthundar och i antal jakthundsraser. Det har genomgåtts en förändring i användandet från de traditionella jakthundsraserna till nya raser från Europa och Nordamerika. Nya jaktbara viltarter och jaktmetoder har tagit plats i den svenska jakten, vilket också har medfört fler jakthundsraser. Efter att ha studerat fyrtioåtta jakthundsraser och sju viltarter kopplade till dessa, har prediktionerna testats och gett signifikanta resultat att jakthundarnas antal är styrda av viltarterna. Mest intressant är den starka samvariationen i Söder- och Mellansverige mellan populationen av vildsvin och jakthundarna. Resultatet visar även att de stora populationerna av klövvilt samvarierar med en ökning av antalet eftersökshundar. För en framtida viltförvaltning, med utmaningar att reducera skador i lant- och skogbruket och trafikskador, orsakande av en ökande viltstam, kommer jakten vara en användbar metod i vilket jakthundarnas kompetens kommer att vara ovärderlig. 2015-10-12 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/8552/7/aronsson_l_151015.pdf Aronsson, Linnea, 2015.
