175 years of adaptation: North Scandinavian Sámi reindeer herding between government policies and winter climate variability (1835–2010)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Unmanaged wild reindeer populations tend to follow cyclical behaviour, and domesticatedreindeer populations often show cyclical behaviour, too. In this contribution, we intendto use the long-term development of two areas ... -
3D modelling of non-uniform and turbulent flow in vertical slot fishways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Global stocks of freshwater fish have been on the decline for decades, driven in part by the obstruction of their migration routes by anthropogenic barriers. To mitigate such impacts, fishways have been developed to ... -
A catch-22 conflict: Access to semi-domestic reindeer modulatesEurasian lynx depredation on domestic sheep
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Conserving large carnivores in multi-use landscape is a global challenge. In northern Norway the presence of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) conflicts greatly with the current ways of keeping free-grazing, unguarded livestock ... -
A continent-wide search for Antarctic petrel breeding sites with satellite remote sensing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Antarctic petrel (Thalassoica antarctica) has been identified as a key species for monitoring the status and health of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic ecosystems. Breeding colonies of the Antarctic petrel are often ... -
«A good sport and a real gentleman?» - hvordan det 400 år gamle britiske sportsfiskeidealet påvirker normer i dagens norske sportsfiske
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Sportsfisket i snever betydning har sin moderne opprinnelse som et overklassefenomen i England for mer enn 400 år siden. Sportsfiske slik vi bruker det er et fritidsfenomen, hvor målet ikke er å få mest fisk, men den beste ... -
A method that accounts for differential detectability in mixed samples of long-term infections with applications to the case of Chronic Wasting Disease in cervids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Surveillance of wildlife diseases is logistically difficult, and imperfect detection is a recurrent challenge for disease estimation. Using citizen science can increase sample sizes, but it is associated with a cost in ... -
A Migratory Divide Among Red-Necked Phalaropes in the Western Palearctic Reveals Contrasting Migration and Wintering Movement Strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Non-breeding movement strategies of migratory birds may be expected to be flexibly adjusted to the distribution and quality of habitat, but few studies compare movement strategies among populations using distinct migration ... -
A new valuation school: Integrating diverse values of nature in resource and land use decisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We are increasingly confronted with severe social and economic impacts of environmental degradation all over the world. From a valuation perspective, environmental problems and conflicts originate from trade-offs between ... -
A preliminary overview of the corticioid Atractiellomycetes (Pucciniomycotina, Basidiomycetes)
(Journal article, 2018)The taxonomy of the corticioid fungi from the class Atractiellomycetes (Pucciniomycotina, Basidiomycetes) currently addressed to the genus Helicogloea, is revised based on morphological and nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS and ... -
A probabilistic algorithm to process geolocation data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: The use of light level loggers (geolocators) to understand movements and distributions in terrestrial and marine vertebrates, particularly during the non-breeding period, has increased dramatically in recent ... -
A review of acoustic telemetry in Europe and the need for a regional aquatic telemetry network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Globally, there are a large and growing number of researchers using biotelemetry as a tool to study aquatic animals. In Europe, this community lacks a formal network structure. The aim of this study is to review ... -
A road in the middle of one of the last wild reindeer migration routes in Norway: crossing behaviour and threats to conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The development of roads and associated infrastructure has interrupted several traditional migrations of wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway. The population in the Setesdal Austhei wild reindeer area still ... -
A stage-structured Bayesian hierarchical model for salmon lice populations at individual salmon farms – Estimated from multiple farm data sets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Salmon farming has become a prosperous international industry over the last decades. Along with growth in the production farmed salmon, however, an increasing threat by pathogens has emerged. Of special concern is the ... -
The accuracy and precision of age determination by dental cementum annuli in four northern cervids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Individual age is an important element in models of population demographics, but the limitations of the methods used for age determination are not always clear. We used known-age data from moose (Alces alces), red deer ... -
Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between phenotype and environment, i.e. whether observed trait ... -
Advancing restoration ecology: A new approach to predict time to recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species composition as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting ... -
Age of European silver eels during a period of declining abundance in Norway
(Journal article, 2020)The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered throughout its range. Knowledge about age distribution of future spawners (silver eels) is essential to monitor the status and contribute to the recovery of ... -
Age-Related Mercury Contamination and Relationshipwith Luteinizing Hormone in a Long-Lived Antarctic Bird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Seabirds, as long-lived top predators, accumulate contaminants such as mercury (Hg), an established endocrine disruptor. In long lived species hormonal secretion varies with age; therefore, Hg-induced endocrine disruption ... -
