Not just for programmers: How GitHub can accelerate collaborative and reproducible research in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology are increasingly dependent on computational code to conduct research. Hence, the use of efficient methods to share, reproduce, and collaborate on code as well as document ... -
‘Not the Wolf Itself’: Distinguishing Hunters’ Criticisms of Wolves from Procedures for Making Wolf Management Decisions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Swedish hunters sometimes appeal to an inviolate ‘right to exist’ for wolves, apparently rejecting NIMBY. Nevertheless, the conditions existence hunters impose on wolves in practice fundamentally contradict their use of ... -
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 ... -
Novel microsatellite markers for Dalechampia scandens (Euphorbiaceae) and closely related taxa:application to studying a species complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Novel tools and methods for designing and wrangling multifunctional, machine‑readable evidence synthesis databases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)One of the most important steps in the process of conducting a systematic review or map is data extraction and the production of a database of coding, metadata and study data. There are many ways to structure these data, ... -
Numerical responses of saproxylic beetles to rapid increases in dead wood availability following geometrid moth outbreaks in sub-arctic mountain birch forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Saproxylic insects play an important part in decomposing dead wood in healthy forest ecosystems, but little is known about their role in the aftermath of large-scale forest mortality caused by pest insect outbreaks. We ... -
Nutritional state variations in a tropical seabird throughout its breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Individual body condition is frequently used to explain differences in foraging and breeding ecology in seabirds. However, little is known about the covariations of body mass with the nutritional state of animals as measured ... -
Nyfunn av hvit skogfrue Cephalanthera longifolia i Tysnes, Hordaland, samt litt om artens økologi og skjøtselsbehov
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Cephalanthera longifolia is redlisted as near threatened (NT) in the Norwegian Red list (2015), and is one oftotally 13 protected orchids in Norway. In South-Western Norway only a few localities with only a few plants of ... -
Observed and projected changes in urbanization and nature conservation in a typical fast growing city of Ethiopia, Jimma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Urbanization poses a signifcant threat to biodiversity, particularly in developing nations characterized by high rural–urban migration and inadequate urban planning that fails to consider nature conservation. Insufcient ... -
Occupancy versus colonization–extinction models for projecting population trends at different spatial scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding spatiotemporal population trends and their drivers is a key aim in population ecology. We further need to be able to predict how the dynamics and sizes of populations are affected in the long term by changing ... -
Occupancy-based monitoring of ungulate prey species in Thailand indicates population stability, but limited recovery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Longitudinal studies of wildlife are urgently needed in South-East Asia to understand population responses to the high poaching pressure that characterizes this region. We monitored population trends and habitat use of ... -
Occurrence and seasonality of Gyrodactylus salaris and G. salmonis (Monogenea) on Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) in the Fustvatnet lake, Northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Gyrodactylus spp. (Monogenea) were found on 16.9% (233 out of 1376) Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), sampled from September 2010 to October 2011 in the Fustvatnet lake, Northern Norway. Two species were identified: ... -
Occurrence of the European eel in lakes in the northern part of its distribution area is limited to low-altitude coastal areas, likely due to topographical conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)With the decline of the European eel, protection measures in all parts of the eel’s distribution area may be increasingly important. Norway has a vast coastline (58°–71°N), but the distribution of eel has been largely ... -
Ocean climate and egg investment in the black-legged kittiwake Rissa tridactyla
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Birds allocate substantial resources to their eggs during the laying period, resources also needed for other concurrent costly processes such as mate acquisition, nest building and site defence. Egg and clutch sizes may ... -
Ocean currents as a potential dispersal pathway for Antarctica’s most persistent non-native terrestrial insect
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The non-native midge Eretmoptera murphyi is Antarctica’s most persistent non-native insect and is known to impact the terrestrial ecosystems. It inhabits by considerably increasing litter turnover and availability of soil ... -

Ocean-wide drivers of migration strategies and their influence on population breeding performance in a declining seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Which factors shape animals’ migration movements across large geographical scales, how different migratory strategies emerge between populations, and how these may affect population dynamics are central questions in ... -
Offshore oil rigs – a breeding refuge for Norwegian Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In recent decades, the population of Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla has declined substantially in most parts of the North Atlantic. Concurrently, there has been an increased urbanisation of the species, with ... -
On fitness and partial migration in a large herbivore – migratory moose have higher reproductive performance than residents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Partially migratory populations comprise both resident and migratory individuals. Th ese tactics may coexist if their demographic contribution to future generations (i.e. fitness) are equal or vary temporally with environmental ... -
On the relevance of animal behavior to the management and conservation of fishes and fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There are many syntheses on the role of animal behavior in understanding and mitigating conservation threats for wildlife. That body of work has inspired the development of a new discipline called conservation behavior. ...
