Bottom-up rather than top-down mechanisms determine mesocarnivore interactions in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Interactions among coexisting mesocarnivores can be influenced by different factors such as the presence of large carnivores, land-use, environmental productivity,or human disturbance. Disentangling the relative importance ... -
Global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by recreational anglers: considerations for developing more resilient and sustainable fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The global COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many jurisdictions implementing orders restricting the movements of people to inhibit virus transmission, with recreational angling often either not permitted or access to fsheries ... -
Modifying and parameterizing the individual-based model inSTREAM for Atlantic salmon and brown trout in the regulated Gullspång River, Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We modified, parameterized, and applied the individual-based model inSTREAM version 6.1 for lake-migrating populations of landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (S. trutta) in a residual flow stretch of ... -
Habitat functionality: Integrating environmental and geographic space in niche modeling for conservation planning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Niche modeling is typically used to assess the effects of anthropogenic landuse and climate change on species distributions and to inform spatial conser-vation planning. These models focus on the suitability of local biotic ... -
Marked differences in foraging area use and susceptibility to predation between two closely-related tropical seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological theory predicts that closely-related species must occupy diferent niches to coexist. How marine top predators achieve this during breeding, when they often gather in large multi-species colonies and are constrained ... -
Evaluating MODIS snow products using an extensive wildlife camera network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Snow covers a maximum of 47 million km2 of Earth’s northern hemisphere each winter and is an important component of the planet’s energy balance, hydrology cycles, and ecosystems. Monitoring regional and global snow cover ... -
Living with wolves: A worldwide systematic review of attitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This systematic review of peer reviewed articles on attitudes towards gray wolves (Canis lupus), shows that attitudes are mainly measured either by mean values of attitudes or by proportional differences in attitudes. ... -
How do resource distribution and taxonomy affect the use of dual foraging in seabirds? A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In many seabird species, parents feeding young switch between short and long foraging excursions in a strategy known as “dual foraging.” To investigate whether habitat quality near breeding colonies drives the use of dual ... -
The recovery of crustacean zooplankton from acidification depends on lake type
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Acidification has harmed freshwater ecosystems in Northern Europe since the early 1900s. Stricter regulations aimed at decreasing acidic emissions have improved surface-water chemistry since the late 1980s but the recovery ... -
Risikoforståelse i dagens Norge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Etter flere tiår med fred og velstand i Norge øker usikkerheten i mange sektorer isamfunnet. Dagens situasjon med krig i Europa, en nylig pandemi og økendepriser på de fleste forbruksvarer øker befolkningens oppmerksomhet ... -
Limited evidence for genetic differentiation or adaptation in two amphibian species across replicated rural–urban gradients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Urbanization leads to complex environmental changes and poses multiple challenges to organisms. Amphibians are highly susceptible to the effects of urbanization, with land use conversion, habitat destruction, and degradation ... -
Assessment of the Attractiveness and Passage Efficiency of Different Fish Passage Solutions at a Hydropower Plant by Combining Fine Scale 2D-Telemetry and Hydraulic Numerical Modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Mitigation measures for downstream-migrating Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar L.) are commonly insufficiently attractive to enable safe entrance and passage with no delay. Combining 2D telemetry with hydrodynamic modelling ... -
Restoring freshwater habitat mosaics to promote resilience of vulnerable salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Phenotypic diversity and abundance drive salmon resilience in the face of increasing environmental variability. But what happens when human activities fundamentally alter the habitat complexity that drives this diversity? ... -
Optimal approach for upstream fish passage design: One-size-fits-all or made-to-order?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Nearly 60,000 large dams (higher than 15 m) occur worldwide in addition to an estimated16 million smaller impoundments with individual surface areas larger than 100 m2.Theresulting habitat fragmentation threatens global ... -
Otolith microchemistry combined with genetics reveal patterns of straying and population connectivity in anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Salmonids are well known for their natal homing behaviour, meaning they return to breed in the same area where they originated. However, not all individuals return to their natal breeding grounds—a behavioural trait known ... -
Attitudes toward Wind Power in Norway–Solution or Problem in Renewable Energy Development?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wind power has become an increasingly important source of renewable energy in Norway. Current demand and production capacity have exceeded expectations stipulated in energy policies a few years back. Wind power affects ... -
Limits to the accurate and generalizable use of soundscapes to monitor biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although eco-acoustic monitoring has the potential to deliver biodiversity insight on vast scales, existing analytical approaches behave unpredictably across studies. We collated 8,023 audio recordings with paired manual ... -
Introgression of non-native mitochondrial haplotypes from farmed to wild Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Farmed salmon escape and interbreed with wild Atlantic salmon on a large scale. We studied introgression of mitochondrial haplotypes from farmed Atlantic salmon originating from the Eastern Atlantic phylogenetic group to ... -
Global Spore Sampling Project: A global, standardized dataset of airborne fungal DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise for re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, ... -
Global warming is projected to lead to increased freshwater growth potential and changes in pace of life in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global warming has been implicated in widespread demographic changes in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar populations, but projections of life-history responses to future climate change are lacking. Here, we first exploit multiple ...
