Arctic greening from warming promotes declines in caribou populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Themigratory tundra caribou herds in North America follow decadal population cycles, and browsing from abundant caribou could be expected to counteract the current climate-driven expansion of shrubs in the circumpolar ... -
Area use and movement patterns of wild and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon before and during spawning in a large Norwegian river
(Journal article, 2016)We compared the within-river movements and distribution of wild and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar before and during spawning in the Namsen river system of Central Norway. A total of 74 wild and 43 escaped ... -
Arealkrav i jærlandskapet: En studie av medias fremstilling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Jærlandskapet er under press fra mange ulike interesser og noen av de tydeligste ‘kampene’ som utkjempes i dette landskapet er knyttet til jordvern, utbygging/infrastruktur-tiltak og etablering av vindkraftanlegg. Hvordan ... -
Arthropod distribution in a tropical rainforest: tackling a four dimensional puzzle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in tropical rainforests represents a first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth. To date moststudies have focused on narrow ... -
An artificial intelligence approach to remotely assess pale lichen biomass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Although generally given little attention in vegetation studies, ground-dwelling (terricolous) lichens are major contributors to overall carbon and nitrogen cycling, albedo, biodiversity and biomass in many high-latitude ... -
AS WE SEE IT Reared fish, farmed escapees and wild fish stocks-a triangle of pathogen transmission of concern to Mediterranean aquaculture management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Although aquaculture in the Mediterranean is a relatively young industry, finfish dis eases have been reported to cause considerable problems and mortalities among the farmed stocks. In general, the farming activity and ... -
Assessing climatic and spatial variables influencing zooplankton richness for space-for-time predictions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. The macroecological drivers of freshwater diversity are accredited geographical, spatial and climatic variables, but also to productivity, ecosystem age and landscape history. Locally diversity is also influenced ... -
Assessing ecosystem services from multifunctional trees in pastures using Bayesian belief networks
(Journal article, 2016) -
Assessing incidental bycatch of seabirds in Norwegian coastal commercial fisheries: Empirical and methodological lessons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)With diminishing seabird populations and little knowledge on incidental bycatch in fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic, this study aimed to screen seabird bycatch in Norwegian coastal fisheries in 2009. The purpose was ... -
Assessing sea floor functional biodiversity and vulnerability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The marine benthos has been largely studied through the use of response traits that characterise species vulnerability to disturbance. More limited has been the specific use of effect traits that represent other species ... -
Assessing the effect of mitigation efforts to improve vegetation recovery inpowerline construction sites across Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Land-use related to technical infrastructure puts great pressure on nature and landscapes globally. We used a screening approach to evaluate vegetation development in 295 construction sites related to upkeeping of the ... -
Assessing the effect of sample bias correction in species distribution models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Open-source biodiversity databases contain a large number of species occurrence records but are often spatially biased; which affects the reliability of species distribution models based on these records. Sample bias ... -
Assessing the effectiveness of the Ramsar Convention in preserving wintering waterbirds in the Mediterranean
(Journal article, 2020)lthough biological conservation is based on international agreements, its effectiveness depends on how countries implement such recommendations as effective conservation tools. The Ramsar Convention is the oldest international ... -
Assessing the effects of climate on host-parasite interactions: a comparative study of European birds and their parasites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Climate change potentially has important effects on distribution, abundance, transmission and virulence of parasites in wild populations of animals. Methodology/Principal Finding: Here we analyzed paired ... -
Assessing the resilient provision of ecosystem services by social-ecological systems: introduction and theory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Assessing the Use of Artificial Hibernacula by the Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) and Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) in Cold Climate in Southeast Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Construction of artificial overwintering habitats, hibernacula, or newt hotels, is an important mitigation measure for newt populations in urban and agricultural areas. We have monitored the use of four artificial hotels ... -
Assessing the usefulness of citizen science data for habitat suitability modelling: Opportunistic reporting versus sampling based on a systematic protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim: To evaluate the potential of models based on opportunistic reporting (OR) compared to models based on data from a systematic protocol (SP) for modelling species distributions. We compared model performance for eight ... -
An assessment of relative habitat use as a metric for species’ habitat association and degree of specialization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In order to understand species’ sensitivity to habitat change, we must correctly determine if a species is associated with a habitat or not, and if it is associated, its degree of specialization for that habitat. However, ... -
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ... -
