      As global warming advances, there is a growing concern about the impact of extreme weather events on ecosystems. In the Arctic, more frequent unseasonal warm spells and rain-on- snow events in winter cause changes in ...
    • Circadian rhythmicity persists through the Polar night and midnight sun in Svalbard reindeer 

      Arnold, Walter; Ruf, Thomas; Loe, Leif Egil; Irvine, R. Justin; Ropstad, Erik; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Albon, Steve D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Studies of locomotor activity in Svalbard reindeer reported the temporary absence of diel rhythms under Arctic photic conditions. However, using Lomb-Scargle periodogram analyses with high statistical power we found diel ...
    • Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer 

      Burnett, Hamish Andrew; Bieker, Vanessa Carina; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Peeters, Bart; Rosvold, Jørgen; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Dalén, Love; Loe, Leif Egil; Jensen, Henrik; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Martin, Michael David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce ...

    • Gut microbiome biogeography in reindeer supersedes millennia of ecological and evolutionary separation 

      Kamenova, Stefaniya; de Muinck, Eric; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Utsi, Tove Hilde Ågnes; Steyaert, Sam; Albon, Steve; Loe, Leif Egil; Trosvik, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ruminants are dependent on their gut microbiomes for nutrient extraction from plant diets. However, knowledge about the composition, diversity, function, and spatial structure of gut microbiomes, especially in wild ruminants, ...
    • Little impact of over-winter parasitism on a free-ranging ungulate in the high Arctic 

      Carlsson, Anja M.; Albon, Steve D.; Coulson, Stephen J.; Ropstad, Erik; Stien, Audun; Wilson, Kenneth; Loe, Leif Egil; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Irvine, Robert Justin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      1. Macroparasites have a central place in wildlife ecology because they have the potential to regulate host populations through effects on reproduction and/or survival. However, there remains a paucity of studies that have ...
    • Lynx predation on semi-domestic reindeer: do age and sex matter? 

      Mattisson, Jenny; Arntsen, Gustav Busch; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Loe, Leif Egil; Linnell, John Durrus; Odden, John; Persson, J.; Andrén, H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The Eurasian lynx is an efficient stalking predator mainly selecting small-sized ungulates. In northern Scandinavia, semi-domestic reindeer are the only ungulate species available for Eurasian lynx year round and consequently ...
    • Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in an alpine ecosystem grazed by sheep – An experimental approach 

      Austrheim, Gunnar; Speed, James David Mervyn; Evju, Marianne; Hester, Alison; Holand, Øystein; Loe, Leif Egil; Martinsen, Vegard; Mobæk, Ragnhild; Mulder, Jan; Steen, Harald; Thompson, Des B.A.; Mysterud, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Domestic livestock drives ecosystem changes in many of the world’s mountain regions, and can be the dominant influenceon soil, habitat and wildlife dynamics. Grazing impacts on ecosystem services (ES) vary according to ...
    • The influence of weather conditions during gestation on life histories in a wild Arctic ungulate 

      Douhard, Mathieu; Loe, Leif Egil; Stien, Audun; Bonenfant, Christophe; Irvine, R. Justin; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Ropstad, Erik; Albon, Steve D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The internal predictive adaptive response (internal PAR) hypothesis predicts that individuals born in poor conditions should start to reproduce earlier if they are likely to have reduced performance in later life. However, ...
