Responses to climate change can vary across functional groups and trophic levels, leading to a temporal decoupling of trophic interactions or “phenological mismatches.” Despite a growing number of single-species studies ...

According to classic theory, species’ population dynamics and distributions are less influenced by species interactions under harsh climatic conditions compared to under more benign climatic conditions. In alpine and boreal ...

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) and the Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet) have developed a common methodology and standardized guidelines for the monitoring of arctic foxes in ...

Integrated models of the ecology of migratory species require tracking of individual migratory organisms throughout the annual cycle. Here, we report the first information on the movement patterns of nine Upland Sandpipers ...

The breeding population of peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) in Norway was almost exterminated by the early 1970’s. Long-term monitoring of breeding pairs has been conducted since 1976 up to present. Peregrine falcons ...

Intensification of livestock production has reduced heterogeneity in vegetative structure in managed grasslands, which has been linked to widespread declines in grassland songbird populations throughout North America. ...

To identify priorities for management of seabirds during the breeding season, it is important to understand the ecological mechanisms driving chick growth and survival. In this study, we examined the effects of diet and ...

Protected area networks help species respond to climate warming. However, the contribu-tion of a site’s environmental and conservation-relevant characteristics to these responsesis not well understood. We investigated how ...

For millennia grasslands have provided a myriad of ecosystem services and have been coupled with human resource use. The loss of 46% of grasslands worldwide necessitates the need for conservation that is spatially, temporally, ...
