Published articles

Here you can read articles where Kolmården's animals or staff have been involved.

These articles are peer reviewed, except if it says "not peer reviewed" after the article name.

Some projects last for a shorter period of time, but many last for many years. It may therefore take some time before results or any publications from the projects we participated in are published.
