Walking as urban outdoor recreation: public health for everyone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study aims to investigate whether the frequency of neighbourhood walks (both for recreation and for transport) is associated with various indicators of demographic and socio-economic position, indicators of selfreported ... -
Walking on the Dark Side: Anthropogenic Factors Limit Suitable Habitat for Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in a Large Natural Area Covering Belarus and Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is re-colonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but ... -
Warranty for a better world? The politics of environmental knowledge in bioeconomic sustainability certificates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Sustainability certificates are increasingly used as tools for shaping bioeconomic production processes and trade. However, their specific effects are subjected to debate. A multitude of certificate schemes and standards ... -
Wealth of nomads – an exploratory analysis of livestock inequality in the Saami reindeer husbandry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The evolution of political complexity is a perennial issue in humanities and social sciences. While social inequality is pervasive in contemporary human societies, there is a view that livestock, as the primary source of ... -
What is the effect of giving the grazers access to additional nutrient sources on biodiversity in semi-natural pastures? A systematic review protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sensors, such as accelerometers, in tracking devices allow for detailed bio-logging to understand animal behaviour, even in remote places where direct observation is difcult. To study breeding in birds remotely, one needs ... -
When is it acceptable to kill a strictly protected carnivore? Exploring the legal constraints on wildlife management within Europe’s Bern Convention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)As wolf populations expand across Europe, many countries face challenges in finding ways to address the concerns of some elements among the rural stakeholders who are being asked to share their landscapes with wolves for ... -
Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we head to?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. ... -
Where do the treeless tundra areas of northern highlands fit in the global biome system: toward an ecologically natural subdivision of the tundra biome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)According to some treatises, arctic and alpine sub-biomes are ecologically similar, whereas others find them highly dissimilar. Most peculiarly, large areas of northern tundra highlands fall outside of the two recent ... -
Whole-genome resequencing confirms reproductive isolation between sympatric demes of brown trout (Salmo trutta) detected with allozymes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The sympatric existence of genetically distinguishable populations of the same species remains a puzzle in ecology. Coexisting salmonid fish populations are known from over 100 freshwater lakes. Most studies of sympatric ... -
Whole-genome resequencing of temporally stratified samples reveals substantial loss of haplotype diversity in the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genetic drift can dramatically change allele frequencies in small populations and lead to reduced levels of genetic diversity, including loss of segregating variants. However, there is a shortage of quantitative studies ... -
Whose Hydropower? From Conflictual Management into an Era of Reconciling Environmental Concerns; A Retake of Hydropower Governance towards Win-Win Solutions?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Hydropower has been core in the nation-building process of several countries. This includes Sweden in which it currently supplies around 50% of the electricity and particularly Norway where almost all electricity is generated ... -
Why do avian responses to change in Arctic green-up vary?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Global climate change has altered the timing of seasonal events (i.e., phenology) for a diverse range of biota. Within and among species, however, the degree to which alterations in phenology match climate variability ... -
Why do we find dead bumblebees under linden trees?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Linden trees (Tilia spp.) have for a long time been associated with bumblebee (Bombus spp.) mortality in Europe and North America. Several explanations have been suggested for this phenomenon. This study aimed to explore ... -
Why humans kill animals and why we cannot avoid it
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Killing animals has been a ubiquitous human behaviour throughout history, yet it is becoming increasingly controversial and criticised in some parts of contemporary human society. Here we review 10 primary reasons why ... -

The wild boar Sus scrofa in northern Eurasia: a review of range expansion history, current distribution, factors affecting the northern distributional limit, and management strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. The wild boar Sus scrofa is one of the most widely distributed large mammal species in the world, existing on all continents except Antarctica. In the late 20th Century, its geographical range expanded naturally and ... -
Wild Mountain reindeer Rangifer tarandus tarandus winter foraging: snow-free areas a key resource for feeding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In a landscape with patchily distributed forage resources, an animal’s distribution may reflect the distribution of the resources if the population is forage-limited in time or space. This may be particularly explicit in ... -
Wild versus domestic prey: Variation in the kill-site behavior of two large felids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock depredation is an important source of conflict for many terrestrial large carnivore species. Understanding the foraging behavior of large carnivores on domestic prey is therefore important for both mitigating ... -
Wildlife Camera Monitoring Revealed the Northern Goshawk as a Predator on Gyrfalcon Nestlings
