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 ... -
Recreational anglers in Norway report widespread dislike of invasive pink salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pink salmon have returned to Norwegian rivers at high abundance in recent odd-numbered years (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023), presenting potential threats to native biodiversity and ecosystem services, including major sport fishing ... -
Review on erosion phenomenon, maintenance, and financial calculation of lifetime as an asset for Pelton turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Prevention of greenhouse emissionsis the top priority for all countries, which urges them to switch to renewable energy as much as possible. Hydropower is one of the renewables that have high flexibility and at the same ... -
Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and ... -
Multi-colony tracking of two pelagic seabirds with contrasting flight capability illustrates how windscapes shape migratory movements at an ocean-basin scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Migration is a common trait among many animals allowing the exploitation of spatiotemporally variable resources. It often implies high energetic costs to cover large distances, for example between breeding and wintering ... -
The cost of research: Lasting effects of capture, surgery and muscle biopsy on brown bear (Ursus arctos) movement and physiology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Animal models are a key component of translational medicine, helping transfer scientific findings into practical applications for human health. A fundamental principle of research ethics involves weighing the benefits of ... -
Wild Mountain reindeer Rangifer tarandus tarandus winter foraging: snow-free areas a key resource for feeding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In a landscape with patchily distributed forage resources, an animal’s distribution may reflect the distribution of the resources if the population is forage-limited in time or space. This may be particularly explicit in ... -
Optimal timing of return migration in Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In many populations of Atlantic salmon, individuals return to rivers months or even a year prior to spawning. This premature arrival in fresh water by far exceeds the time needed for upstream migrations to spawning areas. ... -
Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ... -
Wildlife Camera Monitoring Revealed the Northern Goshawk as a Predator on Gyrfalcon Nestlings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Accipiter gentilis; Falco rusticolus; intraguild predation; nestling; nocturnal foraging; predation. -
Beetles provide directed dispersal of viable spores of a keystone wood decay fungus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wood decay fungi are considered to be dispersed by wind, but dispersal by animals may also be important, and more so in managed forests where dead wood is scarce. We investigated whether beetles could disperse spores of ... -
Positioning aquatic animals with acoustic transmitters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Geolocating aquatic animals with acoustic tags has been ongoing for decades, relying on the detection of acoustic signals at multiple receivers with known positions to calculate a 2D or 3D position, and ultimately ... -
Hibernation and plasma lipids in free-ranging brown bears-implications for diabetes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Brown bears (Ursus arctos) prepare for winter by overeating and increasing adipose stores, before hibernating for up to six months without eating, drinking, and with minimal movement. In spring, the bears exit the den ... -
Shifting seasonality of annual growth through ontogeny for red deer at northern latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Large mammals at northern latitudes show annual cycles of body mass gain insummer and body mass loss in winter. The amplitude and seasonal timing of these cycles may vary through ontogeny depending on trade-offs toward ... -
ECKOchain: A FAIR blockchain-based database for long-term ecological data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Open data practices in ecology are increasingly accepted, yet primary long-term ecological data remain hard to find. Barriers preventing open long-term ecological data include social and economic constructs such as a ... -
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Twenty-fve years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being, addressing the global biodiversity crisis still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values ... -
Novel large-scale mapping highlights poor state of sea trout populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. The state of sea trout in 1251 Norwegian watercourses was assessed based on a scoring system for human pressures, abundance data, and local knowledge. 2. Over 16,000 km of rivers and lakes were available to sea trout ... -
The evolving story of catadromy in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anguillid eels were once considered to be the classic example of catadromy. However, alternative life cycles have been reported, including skipping the freshwater phase and habitat shifting between fresh, brackish, and ... -
Value asymmetries in Norwegian forest governance: The role of institutions and power dynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We draw on institutional and ecological economics to understand the role of social preferences, institutional arrangements, and power dynamics in mobilizing or restraining ecosystem services and values in Norwegian forest ... -
Insurance value of biodiversity in the Anthropocene is the full resilience value
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recently two distinctly different conceptualisations of insurance value of biodiversity/ ecosystems have been developed. The ecosystem framing addresses the full resilience value without singling out subjective risk ...
