Activity patterns of Eurasian lynx are modulated by light regime and individual traits over a wide latitudinal range
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The activity patterns of most terrestrial animals are regarded as being primarily influenced by light, although other factors, such as sexual cycle and climatic conditions, can modify the underlying patterns. However, most ... -
Arthropod distribution in a tropical rainforest: tackling a four dimensional puzzle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in tropical rainforests represents a first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth. To date moststudies have focused on narrow ... -
Assessing the effects of climate on host-parasite interactions: a comparative study of European birds and their parasites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Climate change potentially has important effects on distribution, abundance, transmission and virulence of parasites in wild populations of animals. Methodology/Principal Finding: Here we analyzed paired ... -
Constraining forest certificate's market to improve cost-effectiveness of biodiversity conservation in São Paulo state, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The recently launched Brazilian ªforest certificatesº market is expected to reduce environmental compliance costs for landowners through an offset mechanism, after a long history of conservation laws based in command-and-control ... -
Could Have Gone Wrong: Effects of Abrupt Changes in Migratory Behaviour on Harvest in a Waterbird Population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)To sustainably exploit a population, it is crucial to understand and reduce uncertainties about population processes and effects of harvest. In migratory species, management is challenged by geographically separated changing ... -
Density of Wild Prey Modulates Lynx Kill Rates on Free-Ranging Domestic Sheep
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Understanding the factors shaping the dynamics of carnivore–livestock conflicts is vital to facilitate large carnivore conservation in multi-use landscapes. We investigated how the density of their main wild prey, roe deer ... -
DNA metabarcoding reveals diet overlap between the endangered walia ibex and domestic goats - implications for conservation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Human population expansion and associated degradation of the habitat of many wildlife species cause loss of biodiversity and species extinctions. The small Simen Mountains National Park in Ethiopia is one of the last ... -
Ecosystem Services and Opportunity Costs Shift SpatialPriorities for Conserving Forest Biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Inclusion of spatially explicit information on ecosystem services in conservation planning is a fairly new practice. This study analyses how the incorporation of ecosystem services as conservation features can affect ... -
From Svalbard to Siberia: Passerines breeding in the High Arctic also endure the Extreme cold of the Western Steppe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Few species are adapted to high latitudes, and many over-winter in milder climates with migrations involving extensive barrier crossings. By escaping extreme conditions for the majority of the year, physiological and ... -
Genes suggest ancestral colour polymorphisms are shared across morphologically cryptic species in Arctic Bumblebees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Our grasp of biodiversity is fine-tuned through the process of revisionary taxonomy. If species do exist in nature and can be discovered with available techniques, then we expect these revisions to converge on broadly ... -
Integrating data from multiple sources for insights into demographic processes: Simulation studies and proof of concept for hierarchical change-in-ratio models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Nilsen EB, Strand O (2018) Integrating data from multiple sources for insights into demographic processes: Simulation studies and proof of concept for hierarchical change-in-ratio models. PLoS ONE 13(3): e0194566. ... -
Macrophytes shape trophic niche variation among generalist fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generalist species commonly have a fundamental role in ecosystems as they can integrate spatially distinct habitats and food-web compartments, as well as control the composition, abundance and behavior of organisms at ... -
Maternal Androgens Increase Sibling Aggression, Dominance, and Competitive Ability in the Siblicidal Black-Legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Animals and plants routinely produce more offspring than they can afford to rear. Mothers can favour certain young by conferring on them competitive advantages such as a leading position in the birth sequence, more resources ... -
Memory effects on movement behavior in animal foraging

More stable productivity of semi natural grasslands than sown pastures in a seasonally dry climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity ... -
Numerical responses of saproxylic beetles to rapid increases in dead wood availability following geometrid moth outbreaks in sub-arctic mountain birch forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Saproxylic insects play an important part in decomposing dead wood in healthy forest ecosystems, but little is known about their role in the aftermath of large-scale forest mortality caused by pest insect outbreaks. We ... -
Population densities, vegetation green-up, and plant productivity: impacts on reproductive success and juvenile body mass in reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Global warming is expected to cause earlier springs and increased primary productivity in the Arctic. These changes may improve food availability for Arctic herbivores, but may also have negative effects by generating a ... -
Respiratory virus detection and clinical diagnosis in children attending day care

Right on track? Performance of satellite telemetry in terrestrial wildlife research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Satellite telemetry is an increasingly utilized technology in wildlife research, and current devices can track individual animal movements at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions. However, as we enter the golden ... -
The range of the mange: Spatiotemporal patterns of sarcoptic mange in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) as revealed by camera trapping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Sarcoptic mange is a widely distributed disease that affects numerous mammalian species. We used camera traps to investigate the apparent prevalence and spatiotemporal dynamics of sarcoptic mange in a red fox population ...
