Classifying grass-dominated habitats from remotely sensed data: The influence of spectral resolution, acquisition time and the vegetation classification system on accuracy and thematic resolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Detailed maps of vegetation facilitate spatial conservation planning. Such information can be difficult to map from remotely sensed data with the detail (thematic resolution) required for ecological applications. For ... -
Climate and density-dependence cause changes in adult sex ratio in a large Arctic herbivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Peeters, B., V. Veiberg, A. Ø. Pedersen, A. Stien, R. J. Irvine, R. Aanes, B.-E. Sæther, O. Strand, and B. B. Hansen. 2017. Climate and density dependence cause changes in adult sex ratio in a large Arctic herbivore. ... -
Climate and ecosystem services. The potential of Norwegian ecosystems for climate mitigation and adaptation
(NINA Rapport;791, Research report, 2012)The concept of ecosystem services encompasses the many benefits that society receives from nature and that are often taken for granted. The conceptual framework highlights the connection between ecosystems and its components, ... -
Climate and land‑cover change alter bumblebee species richness and community composition in subalpine areas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate and land-use change are recognised as the two main drivers of the ongoing reorganisation of Earth’s biodiversity, but understanding precisely their role in shaping species’ distributions and communities remains ... -
Climate change and the increasing impact of polar bears on bird populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The Arctic is becoming warmer at a high rate, and contractions in the extent of sea ice are currently changing the habitats of marine top-predators dependent on ice. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) depend on sea ice for ... -
Climate change in the Baltic Sea region: a summary
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Based on the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports of this thematic issue in Earth System Dynamics and recent peer-reviewed literature, current knowledge of the effects of global warming on past and future changes in climate of ... -
Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snowcover and predator abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background ... -
Climate influence on plant–pollinator interactions in the keystone species Vaccinium myrtillus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is altering the world's ecosystems through direct effects of climate warming and precipitation changes but also indirectly through changes in biotic interactions. For instance, climate-driven changes in plant ... -
Climate-driven biophysical changes in feeding and breeding environments explain the decline of southernmost European Atlantic salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The consistency of the global declining trend of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations suggests that climate-driven reduced survival and growth at sea are the main driving factors. The southernmost populations have ... -
Climatic and biotic extreme events moderate long-term responses of above- and belowground sub-Arctic heathland communities to climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Climate change impacts are not uniform across the Arctic region because interacting factors causes large variations in local ecosystem change. Extreme climatic events and population cycles of herbivores occur simultaneously ... -
Climatic forcing and individual heterogeneity in a resident mountain bird: legacy data reveal effects on reproductive strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Optimization of clutch size and timing of reproduction have substantial effects on lifetime reproductive success in vertebrates, and both individual quality and environmental variation may impact life history strategies. ... -
Climatic variation influences annual survival of an island-breeding tropical shorebird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global biodiversity loss is a major environmental concern. The wildlife on islands are particularly vulnerable to threats posed by alien predators, habitat loss and overexploitation. Effective conservation management of ... -
Close to open—Factors that hinder and promote open science in ecology research and education
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Open Science (OS) movement is rapidly gaining traction among policy-makers, research funders, scientific journals and individual scientists. Despite these tendencies, the pace of implementing OS throughout the scientific ... -
Closing the gap between science and management of cold-water refuges in rivers and streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Human activities and climate change threaten coldwater organisms in freshwater eco-systems by causing rivers and streams to warm, increasing the intensity and frequency of warm temperature events, and reducing thermal ... -
Co-adaptation is key to coexisting with large carnivores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)There is a pressing need to integrate large carnivore species into multi-use landscapes outside protected areas. However, an unclear understanding of coexistence hinders the realization of this goal. Here, we provide a ... -
Co-developing guidance for conservation: An example for seabirds in the North-East Atlantic in the face of climate change impacts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conservation guidance—an authoritative source of information and recommendations explicitly supporting decision-making and action regarding nature conservation—represents an important tool to communicate evidence-based ... -
Coastal migration patterns of the four largest Barents Sea Atlantic salmon stocks inferred using genetic stock identification methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Combining detailed temporal and spatial catch data, including catch per unit effort, with a high-resolution microsatellite genetic baseline facilitated the development of stock-specific coastal migration models for the ... -
The Coexistence Potential of Different Wildlife Conservation Frameworks in a Historical Perspective
