Long-term annual and spatial variation of polygyny in the white-throated dipper (Cinclus cinclus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Mating strategies are key components in the fitness of organisms, and notably in birds the occurrence of monogamy versus polygyny has attracted wide interest. We address this by a very comprehensive dataset (2899 breeding ... -
Designing a surveillance program for early detection of alien plants and insects in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Naturalized species of alien plants and animals comprise < 3% of biodiversity recorded in Norway but have had major impacts on natural ecosystems through displacement of native species. Encroachment of alien species has ... -
Sustainable Development Goals and risks: The Yin and the Yang of the paths towards sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The United Nations 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define a path towards a sustainable future, but given that uncertainty characterises the outcomes of any SDG-related actions, risks in the implementation ... -
Spatial variations in winter Hg contamination affect egg volume in an Arctic seabird, the great skua (Stercorarius skua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Knowledge of the ecology and at-sea distribution of migratory species like seabirds has substantially increased over the last two decades. Furthermore, an increasing number of studies have recently focused on chemical ... -
Acute toxicity testing of the tire rubber-derived chemical 6PPD-quinone on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent identification of 6PPD-quinone as the chemical causing acute toxicity in coho salmon has led to substantial concern regarding toxicity of this contaminant for other aquatic species. Environmental occurrence of ... -
A camera trap-based assessment of climate-driven phenotypic plasticity of seasonal moulting in an endangered carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)For many species, the ability to rapidly adapt to changes in seasonality is essential for long-term survival. In the Arctic, seasonal moulting is a key life-history event that provides year-round camouflage and thermal ... -
Recognising institutional context in simulating and generalising exchange values for monetary ecosystem accounts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The paper argues that monetary valuation of ecosystem services for ecosystem accounting needs to be sensitive to institutional context, when simulating markets to generate exchange values where none was available previously ... -
Ambitiousness of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets: classification and implications for policy making
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We analyse how ambitiously the underlying targets for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 are set in terms of their semantic formulation and discuss the implications of this for policy ... -
Context-dependent demographic and genetic effects of translocation from a captive breeding project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Translocations are a widespread approach to conserve threatened populations. Given the rapid decline and genetic deterioration of many natural populations, translocations are expected to become even more common in the ... -
Road effects on benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in boreal headwater streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Roads constitute a worldwide network of ecological barriers traversing countless streams and rivers. A large fraction of the land area lies in close proximity to roads. Ecological effects of roads likely extend well beyond ... -
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 ... -
International assessment of priority environmental issues for land-based and offshore wind energy development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Non-technical summary. A substantial increase in wind energy deployment worldwide is required to help achieve international targets for decreasing global carbon emissions andlimiting the impacts of climate change. In ... -
Effect of human–elephant conflict on local attitudes toward the conservation of wild Asian elephants in Myanmar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The study of attitudes toward wild elephants and human–elephant conflict (HEC) is vital to understanding what attitudes are held by local people and how to incorporate them into wild elephant conservation. This study ... -
Greenery in urban morphology: a comparative analysis of differences in urban green space accessibility for various urban structures across European cities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The understanding of urban social-ecological systems requires integrated and interdisciplinary methods. This paper explores differences in the accessibility of urban green spaces (UGS) based on urban morphology. In contrast ... -
Understanding and overcoming obstacles in adaptive management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Adaptive management (AM) is widely promoted to improve management of natural resources, yet its implementation is challenging. We show that obstacles to the im- plementation of AM are related not only to the AM process per ... -
A role for lakes in revealing the nature of animal movement using high dimensional telemetry systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Movement ecology is increasingly relying on experimental approaches and hypothesis testing to reveal how, when, where, why, and which animals move. Movement of megafauna is inherently interesting but many of the fundamental ... -
A practical conservation tool to combine diverse types of evidence for transparent evidence-based decision-making
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Making the reasoning and evidence behind conservation management decisions clear and transparent is a key challenge for the conservation community. Similarly, combining evidence from diverse sources (e.g., scientific and ... -
Segmented forest realities: The ontological politics of biodiversity mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Since the late 1990 s, biodiversity mapping has been a key instrument for preventing loss of species and habitats in Norwegian productive forests. Having major implications for the abilities of actors to pursue their ... -
Pathways of introduction of alien species in Norway: analyses of an exhaustive dataset to prioritise management efforts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Alien species constitute one of the major threats to global biodiversity. Stopping alien species at an early stage, preferably before establishment, is crucial for the effectiveness of management actions. To enable early ... -
A river runs through the landscape: Everyday use in an ever changing environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The meaning of riverine landscapes to society has evolved to serve our ever-changing needs, from harvesting and transporting resources to arenas for outdoor recreation and contemplation. From the 18th century, rivers have ...
