The measure and mismeasure of reciprocity in heterostylous flowers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The goal of biological measurement is to capture underlying biological phenomena in numericalform. The reciprocity index applied to heterostylous flowers is meant to measure the degree of correspondence between fertile ... -
The Network of Knowledge approach: improving the science and society dialogue on biodiversity and ecosystem services in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The absence of a good interface between scientific and other knowledge holders and decision-makers in the area of biodiversity and ecosystem services has been recognised for a long time. Despite recent advancements, e.g. ... -
The Phe362Tyr mutation conveying resistance to organophosphates occurs in high frequencies in salmon lice collected from wild salmon and trout
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The parasitic salmon louse, and its resistance to chemical delousing agents, represents one of the largest challenges to the salmon aquaculture industry. We genotyped lice sampled from wild salmon and sea trout throughout ... -
The phenomenon of walking: diverse and dynamic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Everyday walking is a far-reaching activity with the potential to increase health and wellbeing in the general public. From a phenomenological perspective, walking can be seen as a function of being-in-the-world, where the ... -
The potential influence of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brown trout Salmo trutta on density and breeding of the white-throated dipper Cinclus cinclus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Interactions between birds and fish are often overlooked in aquatic ecosystems. We studied the influence of Atlantic salmon and brown trout on the breeding population size and reproductive output of the white-throated ... -
The range of the mange: Spatiotemporal patterns of sarcoptic mange in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) as revealed by camera trapping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Sarcoptic mange is a widely distributed disease that affects numerous mammalian species. We used camera traps to investigate the apparent prevalence and spatiotemporal dynamics of sarcoptic mange in a red fox population ... -
The reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber to Wales: an ecological feasibility study
(NINA Rapport;457, Research report, 2009)This report discusses the biological feasibility of the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber to Wales. Beavers are one of the most extensively reintroduced species of the Euro- pean fauna, and a great deal ... -

The relative importance of direct and indirect effects of hunting mortality on the population dynamics of brown bears
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)There is increasing evidence of indirect effects of hunting on populations. In species with sexually selected infanticide (SSI), hunting may decrease juvenile survival by increasing male turnover.We aimed to evaluate the ... -
The Response of Heterotrophic Prokaryote and Viral Communities to Labile Organic Carbon Inputs Is Controlled by the Predator Food Chain Structure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Factors controlling the community composition ofmarine heterotrophic prokaryotes include organic-C, mineral nutrients, predation, and viral lysis. Two mesocosm experiments, performed at an Arctic location and bottom-upmanipulated ... -
The risk of individual fish being captured multiple times in a catch and release fishery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The proportion of angled Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. being caught and released has increased. If individuals are repeatedly captured, this may have fish welfare consequences. Of 995 Atlantic salmon tagged during catch ... -
The risks of learning: confounding detection anddemographic trend when using count-based indices forpopulation monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Theory recognizes that a treatment of the detection process is required to avoid producing biased estimates of population rate of change. Still, one of three monitoring programmes on animal or plant populations is focused ... -
The role of a dominant predator in shapingbiodiversity over space and time in a marineecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)1. Exploitation of living marine resources has resulted in major changes to populations of targeted species and functional groups of large-bodied species in the ocean. However, the effects of overfishing and collapse of ... -
