    • Close to open—Factors that hinder and promote open science in ecology research and education 

      Strømme, Christian Bianchi; Lane, A. Kelly; Halbritter, Aud Helen; Law, Elizabeth; Nater, Chloé Rebecca; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Boutouli, Grace D.; Egelkraut, Dagmar Dorothea; Telford, Richard James; Vandvik, Vigdis; Cotner, Sehoya Harris (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 ...

    • Elevated plasma phospholipid n-3 docosapentaenoic acid concentrations during hibernation 

      Strandvik, Birgitta; Qureshi, Abdul Rashid; Painer, Johanna; Backman-Johansson, Carolina; Engvall, Martin; Fröbert, Ole; Kindberg, Jonas; Stenvinkel, Peter; Giroud, Sylvain (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Factors for initiating hibernation are unknown, but the condition shares some metabolic similarities with consciousness/sleep, which has been associated with n-3 fatty acids in humans. We investigated plasma phospholipid ...

    • Evaluating competition for forage plants between honey bees and wild bees in Denmark 

      Rasmussen, Claus; Dupont, Yoko L.; Madsen, Henning Bang; Bogusch, Petr; Goulson, Dave; Herbertsson, Lina; Maia, Kate Pereira; Nielsen, Anders; Olesen, Jens M.; Potts, Simon G.; Roberts, Stuart P. M.; Sydenham, Markus A. K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      A recurrent concern in nature conservation is the potential competition for forage plants between wild bees and managed honey bees. Specifically, that the highly sophisticated system of recruitment and large perennial ...

    • Hibernation and plasma lipids in free-ranging brown bears-implications for diabetes 

      Tekin, Hasim; Frøbert, Ole; Græsli, Anne Randi; Kindberg, Jonas; Bilgin, Mesut; Buschard, Karsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Brown bears (Ursus arctos) prepare for winter by overeating and increasing adipose stores, before hibernating for up to six months without eating, drinking, and with minimal movement. In spring, the bears exit the den ...

    • Identifying individual polar bears at safe distances: A test with captive animals 

      Prop, Jouke; Staverløkk, Arnstein; Moe, Børge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The need to recognise individuals in population and behavioural studies has stimulated the development of various identification methods. A commonly used method is to employ natural markers to distinguish individuals. In ...

    • Isotope analysis combined with DNA barcoding provide new insights into the dietary niche of khulan in the Mongolian Gobi 

      Šturm, Martina Burnik; Smith, Steve; Ganbaatar, Oyunsaikhan; Buuveibaatar, Bayarbaatar; Balint, Boglarka; Payne, John C.; Voigt, Christian C.; Kaczensky, Petra (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      With increasing livestock numbers, competition and avoidance are increasingly shaping resource availability for wild ungulates. Shifts in the dietary niche of wild ungulates are likely and can be expected to negatively ...

    • Large-scale spatial variation of chronic stress signals in moose 

      Spong, Göran; Gould, Nicholas P.; Sahlén, Ellinor; Cromsigt, Joris P.G.M.; Kindberg, Jonas; DePerno, Christopher S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The physiological effects of short-term stress responses typically lead to increased individual survival as it prepares the body for fight or flight through catabolic reactions in the body. These physiological effects trade ...

    • Resource utilization by the Kori bustard in the Serengeti ecosystem 

      Mmassy, Emmanuel Clamsen; May, Roel; Jackson, Craig; Kleven, Oddmund; Nygård, Torgeir; Bevanger, Kjetil; Røskaft, Eivin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      This study aimed to understand the movement behaviour and utilization distributions of Kori bustards in space and time in the Serengeti ecosystem. A total of 14 individuals were tracked with the aid of GPS (Geographical ...
