Thick‑billed Murres in breeding pairs migrate and overwinter far apart but in similar photic environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Scheduling between mates in species with long-term pair bonds can be essential for positive fitness. The annual cycle in photoperiod is the primary environmental cue used by many animals to synchronize behavior and physiology ... -
Differences in foraging range between white-tailed tropicbirds breeding on inner and outer Seychelles islands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The foraging ecology and distribution of Phaethontiformes, an order of tropical seabirds, remains generally poorly understood, despite being essential to inform their conservation. Here, we tracked, for the first time, the ... -
Why do avian responses to change in Arctic green-up vary?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Global climate change has altered the timing of seasonal events (i.e., phenology) for a diverse range of biota. Within and among species, however, the degree to which alterations in phenology match climate variability ... -
Expanding the spatial scale in DNA-based monitoring schemes: ascertainment bias in transnational assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Harmonising methodology between countries is crucial in transborder population monitoring. However, immediate application of alleged, established DNA-based methods across the extended area can entail drawbacks and may lead ... -
Mysis segerstralei, an unexpected but important prey for resident Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in a Svalbard lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Mysis segerstralei is distributed over a wide geographic area and in habitats with a variety of salinity conditions, including marine and brackish waters around Svalbard. The species has seldom been found in freshwater ... -
A complete homogenization of water temperatures duringwidespread flooding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Thermal regimes can vary substantially across small geographic distances in rivers,and the factors responsible for creating a diverse thermal landscape can operate onmultiple spatial and temporal extents. This short ... -
Estimating mortality of small passerine birds colliding with wind turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As demand for renewable energy is rising, wind power development is rapidly growing worldwide. In its wake, conficts arise over land use changes converting pristine nature into industrial power plants and its associated ... -
Variations in inter-specific and sex-related niche partitioning in pelagic boobies during their annual cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Animals that co-occur in a region (sympatry) may share the same environment (syntopy), and niche differentiation is expected among closely related species competing for resources. The masked booby (Sula dactylatra) and ... -
Using scale-derived estimates of body size in analyses of Atlantic salmon life-history variation: a cautionary note
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Measurements of individual body length at different life stages are critical in understanding fish ecology and evolution. Such data can be obtained via back-calculation from measurements of fish scales or by using the size ... -
Using qPCR to Identify Potential Effects of Thermal Conditions during Embryogenesis on Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number in Juvenile Brown Trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Changes in the number, structure, and function of mitochondria during the early life stages of animals can play an important role for an organism’s metabolic rate, growth, and health. Previous studies have shown that ... -
Additions to the knowledge of Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Norway, with descriptions of two new species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Two genera of Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) are for the first time recorded from Norway: Dusmetia Mercet, 1921 and Prionomastix Mayr, 1876. Six new species records for the country are presented, including two newly ... -
Behaviour of anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a hydropower regulated freshwater system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Many Norwegian rivers and lakes are regulated for hydropower, which afects freshwater ecosystems and anadromous fish species, such as sea trout (Salmo trutta). Lakes are an important feature of many anadromous river systems. ... -
Increased nationwide use of green spaces in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In recent years, there has been growing concern about the decline in human green space use and nature-based recreation in Western countries. While some evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased recreational ... -
The role of seasonal migration in spatial population synchrony
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Spatially synchronized population dynamics are common in nature, and understanding their causes is key for predicting species persistence. A main driver of synchrony between populations of the same species is shared ... -
Selection of a diversionary field and other habitats by large grazing birds in a landscape managed for agriculture and wetland biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Several populations of cranes, geese, and swans are thriving and increasing in modern agricultural landscapes. Abundant populations are causing conservation conflicts, as they may affect agricultural production and ... -
Frameworks for regulating local natural resource use in northern Sweden and northern Norway – A legislative review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Northern Europe is often seen as having a specific relation to nature. In this manuscript, the policy and regulatory frameworks in Norway and Sweden are compared when it comes to the scope for local use that is provided ... -
Integration of a Frost Mortality Scheme Into the Demographic Vegetation Model FATES
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Frost is damaging to plants when air temperature drops below their tolerance threshold. The set of mechanisms used by cold-tolerant plants to withstand freezing is called “hardening” and typically take place in autumn to ... -
