Viruses on the menu: The appendicularian Oikopleura dioica efficiently removes viruses from seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Appendicularians are planktonic marine tunicates with elaborate filter-feeding houses that can efficiently trap particles as small as 0.2 lm. While marine viruses are seldom considered outside their role in disease ... -
Voice activity detection in eco-acoustic data enables privacy protection and is a proxy for human disturbance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Eco-acoustic monitoring is increasingly being used to map biodiversity across large scales, yet little thought is given to the privacy concerns and potential scientific value of inadvertently recorded human speech. ... -
Vole and lemming activity observed from space
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Predicting the impacts of present global warming requires an understanding of the factors controlling plant biomass and production. The extent to which they are controlled by bottom-up drivers such as climate, nutrient and ... -
Vulnerability and resilience of the carbon exchange of a subarctic peatland to an extreme winter event
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Extreme winter events that damage vegetation are considered an important climatic cause of arctic browning—a reversal of the greening trend of the region—and possibly reduce the carbon uptake of northern ecosystems. ... -
Walking as urban outdoor recreation: public health for everyone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study aims to investigate whether the frequency of neighbourhood walks (both for recreation and for transport) is associated with various indicators of demographic and socio-economic position, indicators of selfreported ... -
Walking on the Dark Side: Anthropogenic Factors Limit Suitable Habitat for Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in a Large Natural Area Covering Belarus and Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is re-colonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but ... -
Warranty for a better world? The politics of environmental knowledge in bioeconomic sustainability certificates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Sustainability certificates are increasingly used as tools for shaping bioeconomic production processes and trade. However, their specific effects are subjected to debate. A multitude of certificate schemes and standards ... -
Wealth of nomads – an exploratory analysis of livestock inequality in the Saami reindeer husbandry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The evolution of political complexity is a perennial issue in humanities and social sciences. While social inequality is pervasive in contemporary human societies, there is a view that livestock, as the primary source of ... -
What is the effect of giving the grazers access to additional nutrient sources on biodiversity in semi-natural pastures? A systematic review protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sensors, such as accelerometers, in tracking devices allow for detailed bio-logging to understand animal behaviour, even in remote places where direct observation is difcult. To study breeding in birds remotely, one needs ... -
What’s the catch with lumpsuckers? A North Atlantic study of seabird bycatch in lumpsucker gillnet fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Worldwide, incidental bycatch in fisheries is a conservation threat to many seabird species. Although knowledge on bycatch of seabirds has increased in the last decade, most stems from longline fisheries and the impacts ... -
When context matters: Spatial prediction models of environmental conditions can identify target areas for wild bee habitat management interventions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Prioritizing where to implement management interventions is critical because managers have limited Budgets and the effect of habitat enhancement depends on site-specific environmental conditions. Field experiments can ... -
When is it acceptable to kill a strictly protected carnivore? Exploring the legal constraints on wildlife management within Europe’s Bern Convention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)As wolf populations expand across Europe, many countries face challenges in finding ways to address the concerns of some elements among the rural stakeholders who are being asked to share their landscapes with wolves for ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Spatial planning have to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders’ wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ... -
Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we head to?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. ... -
Where do the treeless tundra areas of northern highlands fit in the global biome system: toward an ecologically natural subdivision of the tundra biome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)According to some treatises, arctic and alpine sub-biomes are ecologically similar, whereas others find them highly dissimilar. Most peculiarly, large areas of northern tundra highlands fall outside of the two recent ... -
Who are legitimate stakeholders? National and local perceptions of environmental change in the Lofoten islands, Norway
(Journal article, 2019)Debates on future resource policy in northern regions raises the question of who are the legitimate stakeholders to include in policy deliberations? The Lofoten archipelago in Northern Norway is a world-class nature tourism ... -
Whole-genome resequencing confirms reproductive isolation between sympatric demes of brown trout (Salmo trutta) detected with allozymes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The sympatric existence of genetically distinguishable populations of the same species remains a puzzle in ecology. Coexisting salmonid fish populations are known from over 100 freshwater lakes. Most studies of sympatric ... -
Whole-genome resequencing of temporally stratified samples reveals substantial loss of haplotype diversity in the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genetic drift can dramatically change allele frequencies in small populations and lead to reduced levels of genetic diversity, including loss of segregating variants. However, there is a shortage of quantitative studies ... -
Whose Hydropower? From Conflictual Management into an Era of Reconciling Environmental Concerns; A Retake of Hydropower Governance towards Win-Win Solutions?
