Effect of mesh size on baited trap catch composition for noble crayfish (Astacus Astacus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Minimum size is a common management regulation in noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) fisheries. The most used catching method baited traps, catch crayfish down to 50 mm total length (TL). In Norway the minimum size is 95 mm ... -
Effect of sand texture on nest quality and mating success in a fish with parental care
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Nest quality is an important aspect of courtship and mate choice, offering females direct benefits through offspring survival and, if it reflects male genetic quality, also indirect ones. Nest characteristics may thus ... -
Effective biodiversity monitoring needs a culture of integration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite conservation commitments, most countries still lack large-scale biodiversity monitoring programs to track progress toward agreed targets. Monitoring program design is frequently approached from a topdown, data-centric ... -
The effectiveness of Virkon® S disinfectant against an invasive insect and implications for Antarctic biosecurity practices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The flightless midge Eretmoptera murphyi is thought to be continuing its invasion of Signy Island via the treads of personnel boots. Current boot-wash biosecurity protocols in the Antarctic region rely on microbial biocides, ... -
Effects and recovery of larvae of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Desmophyllum pertusum) exposed to suspended bentonite, barite and drill cuttings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Fossil fuel drilling operations create sediment plumes and release waste materials into the ocean. These operations sometimes occur close to sensitive marine ecosystems, such as cold-water corals. While there have been ... -
Effects of a dispersal barrier on freshwater migration of the vimba bream (Vimba vimba)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)To study the effects of a dispersal barrier on migration of the semi-anadromous vimba bream in the Pärnu River, Estonia, we tagged thirty fish with acoustic transmitters and released above the barrier. Tagged fish showed ... -
Effects of body size on estimation of mammalian area requirements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Accurately quantifying species’ area requirements is a prerequisite for effective area-based conservation. This typically involves collecting tracking data on species of interest and then conducting home-range analyses. ... -
The effects of egg incubation temperature and parental cross on the swimming activity of juvenile brown trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)temperature had carry-over effects on swimming activity of juvenile brown trout, Salmo trutta. Eggs from different crosses involving anadromous and lacustrine-adfluvial parents were incubated under two temperature regimes, ... -
Effects of episodic exposure to high-pH water on survival of Atlantic salmon eggs and juveniles: Results from laboratory and field Studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Although effects of acidification on salmonidfish are well studied and documented, effects of episodic high pHhave rarely received attention. In the present study, we investigated effects of high‐pH events on Atlantic ... -
Effects of extrinsic and intrinsic factorson parturition and reproductive outputin wolverines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)One of the selective advantages of delayed implantation in carnivores is the flexibility to decouple the time between mating and parturition, allowing both to occur when conditions are most favorable. Terrestrial carnivores ... -
Effects of free-range and confined housing on joint health in a herd of fattening pigs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: Free-range housing, in which pigs have access to both indoor and outdoor areas, is mandatory in organic pig production in Europe, but little is known about the effects of this housing on joint health in pigs. ... -
Effects of Landscape Characteristics on Annual Survival of Lesser Prairie-Chickens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Agriculture and development have caused landscape change throughout the southwestern Great Plains in the range of the lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus). Landscape alteration within the lesser prairie-chicken ... -
Effects of leg flags on nest survival of four species of Arctic-breeding shorebirds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Marking wild birds is an integral part of many field studies. However, if marks affect the vital rates or behavior of marked individuals, any conclusions reached by a study might be biased relative to the general population. ... -
Effects of livestock on occurrence of the Vulnerable red panda Ailurus fulgens in Rara National Park, Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The Vulnerable red panda Ailurus fulgens is endemic to the Himalayas. Anthropogenic activities, including deforestation, have degraded the species’ habitat but the effects of livestock have not been examined. We assessed ... -
Effects of mountain biking versus hiking on trails under different environmental conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recreational use of nature areas is increasing worldwide. All trail-based activities have a certain degradation effect on vegetation and soil, and conflicts between conservation values and recreation may occur. Controversy ... -
Effects of patch-burn grazing on breeding density and territory size of Dickcissels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Ongoing habitat loss and intensification of management of remaining grasslands have led to large population declines of grassland songbirds in North America. As an alternative to intensive and homogeneous use of rangelands, ... -
Effects of resource availability and interspecific interactions on Arctic and red foxes' winter use of ungulate carrion in the Fennoscandian low-Arctic tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In the Arctic tundra, predators face recurrent periods of food scarcity and often turnto ungulate carcasses as an alternative food source. As important and localized re-source patches, carrion promotes co-occurrence of ... -
Effects of salmon lice infection on the behaviour of sea trout in the marine phase
(Peer reviewed, 2014)Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer may affect survival and growth of anadromous salmonids through physiological stress and/or behavioural changes. Using acoustic telemetry tracking, we investigated the behaviour ... -
Effects of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on wild sea trout Salmo trutta—a literature review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Salmon farming increases the abundance of salmon lice, which are ectoparasites of salmonids in the sea. Here we review the current knowledge on the effects of salmon lice on wild sea trout. Salmon lice feed on host mucus, ... -
