Long-lasting effects of logging on beetles in hollow oaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is growing evidence that biodiversity is important for ecosystem functions. Thus, identification of habitat requirements essential for current species richness and abundance to persist is crucial. Hollow oaks (Quercus ... -
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 ... -
Mismatch between fishway operation and timing of fish movements: a risk for cascading effects in partial migration systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Habitat fragmentation is a growing problem worldwide. Particularly in river systems, numerous dams and weirs hamper the movement of a wide variety of species. With the aim to preserve connectivity for fish, many barriers ... -
Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ... -
A natural antipredation experiment: predator control and reduced sea ice increases colony size in a long-lived duck
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced ... -
A new biologging approach reveals unique flightless molt strategies of Atlantic puffins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Animal- borne telemetry devices provide essential insights into the life- history strate -gies of far- ranging species and allow us to understand how they interact with their environment. Many species in the seabird family ... -
Paint it black: Efficacy of increased wind turbine rotor blade visibility to reduce avian fatalities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As wind energy deployment increases and larger wind-power plants are considered, bird fatalities through collision with moving turbine rotor blades are expected to increase. However, few (cost-) effective deterrent or ... -
Predicting the spatial expansion of an animal population with presence-only data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Predictive models can improve the efficiency of wildlife management by guiding actions at the local, landscape and regional scales. In recent decades, a vast range of modelling techniques have been developed to predict ... -
Prediction of biodiversity hotspots in the Anthropocene: The case of veteran oaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Over the past centuries, humans have transformed large parts of the biosphere, and there is a growing need to understand and predict the distribution of biodiversity hotspots influenced by the presence of humans. Our basic ... -
Proximity-sensors on GPS collars reveal fine-scale predator–prey behavior during a predation event: A case study from Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although the advent of high-resolution GPS tracking technology has helped increase our understanding of individual and multispecies behavior in wildlife systems, detecting and recording direct interactions between free-ranging ... -
Repeatable individual variation in migration timing in two anadromous salmonids and ecological consequences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Consistent individual differences in behavior have been demonstrated for many animals, but there are few studies of consequences of such repeated behavior in the wild. We tested consistency in migration timing to and from ... -
Scavenging patterns of an inbred wolf population in a landscape with a pulse of human-provided carrion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Scavenging is an important part of food acquisition for many carnivore species that switch between scavenging and predation. In landscapes with anthropogenic impact, humans provide food that scavenging species can utilize. ... -
Short stories from Sphagnum of rare species, taxonomy, and speciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conserving species and their genetic variation are a global priority to safeguard evolu-tionary potential in a rapidly changing world. Species are fundamental units in research and nature management, but taxonomic work is ... -
Survival and cause-specific mortality of harvested willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) in central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Survival is a key demographic component that often varies as a result of human activities such as recreational harvest. Detailed understanding of seasonal variation in mortality patterns and the role of various risk factors ... -
Taking a trip to the shelf: Behavioral decisions are mediated by the proximity to foraging habitats in the black-legged kittiwake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)For marine top predators like seabirds, the oceans represent a multitude of habitats regarding oceanographic conditions and food availability. Worldwide, these marine habitats are being altered by changes in climate and ... -
Temporal shifts in the marine feeding of individual Atlantic salmon inferred from scale isotope ratios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Given the limited information on prey use during the marine residency period for Atlantic salmon, scales were collected from salmon at return to the River Namsen (Norway) for spawning after 1 year at sea, and scale material ... -
Temporal variation in trophic relationships among three congeneric penguin species breeding in sympatry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Penguins are a monophyletic group in which many species are found breeding sympatrically, raising questions regarding how these species coexist successfully. Here, the isotopic niche of three sympatric pygoscelid penguin ... -
A test of local adaptation to drought in germination and seedling traits in populations of two alpine forbs across a 2000 mm/year precipitation gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Seed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to drought ... -
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 ... -
Timing and pattern of annual silver eel migration in two European watersheds are determined by similar cues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Many animals perform long-distance migrations in order to maximize lifetime reproductive success. The European eel migrates several thousand kilometers between their feeding habitats in continental waters (fresh-,brackish, ...
