The viability of the crustacean Eurycercus lamellatus (Branchiopoda, Cladocera) in a high mountain area in southern Norway
(Journal article, 2020)The branchiopod Eurycercus lamellatus is widely distributed in Norwegian lakes, ranging from coastal to alpine areas. On the Hardangervidda mountain plateau in southern Norway, E. lamellatus was searched for in 144 lakes ... -
Using by-catch data from wildlife surveys to quantify climatic parameters and the timing of phenology for plants and animals using camera traps
(Journal article, 2019)Gaining a better understanding of global environmental change is an important challenge for conserving biodiversity. Shifts in phenology are an important consequence of environmental change. Measuring phenology of different ... -
Backcrossing of a capercaillie × black grouse hybrid male in the wild revealed with molecular marker
(Journal article, 2020)The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix and the capercaillie Tetrao urogallus are known to produce hybrids in wild populations. In general, these hybrids are regarded as infertile; however, conclusive evidence that F1-hybrids are ... -
Non-native vascular flora of the Arctic: Taxonomic richness, distribution and pathways
(Journal article, 2020)We present a comprehensive list of non-native vascular plants known from the Arctic, explore their geographic distribution, analyze the extent of naturalization and invasion among 23 subregions of the Arctic, and examine ... -
Historical human impact on Productivity and biodiversity in a subalpine oligotrophic lake in Scandinavia
(Journal article, 2019)We conducted a paleolimnological study to examine how changes in human activity interacted with climate to influence productivity and biodiversity over the past millennium in oligotrophic Lake Atnsjøen, SE Norway. The study ... -
Hyperlocal mapping of urban air temperature using remote sensing and crowdsourced weather data
(Journal article, 2020)The impacts of climate change such as extreme heat waves are exacerbated in cities where most of the world's population live. Quantifying urbanization impacts on ambient air temperatures (Tair) has relevance for human ... -
Effects of human-induced disturbances and weather on herbivore movement
(Journal article, 2019)Human-caused habitat disturbances and climate change are leading threats to biodiversity. Studying the impacts of human activities on wildlife from a behavioral perspective is a relevant starting point to understand the ... -
Winter decrease of zooplankton abundance and biomass in subalpine oligotrophic Lake Atnsjøen (SE Norway)
(Journal article, 2019)Despite the rapidly changing winter conditions in temperate ecosystems, little attention has been devoted to the effects of these changes on lake ecology. Few studies on the seasonal changes in abundance and biomass of the ... -
Consequences of past climate change and recent human persecution on mitogenomic diversity in the arctic fox
(Journal article, 2019)Ancient DNA provides a powerful means to investigate the timing, rate and extent of population declines caused by extrinsic factors, such as past climate change and human activities. One species probably affected by both ... -
Miljø-DNA som overvåkningsverktøy av fremmede ferskvannsfisker
(Journal article, 2019)Overvåkning av fremmede fiskearter kan ofte være utfordrende da fiskene kan ha lav fangbarhet tidlig i etableringsfasen. Tradisjonell overvåkning med f.eks. garnfiske kan gjøre stor skade på lokale arter i form av uønsket ... -
Need for transparent and repeatable conservation frameworks: reply to Child et al. 2019

Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment
(Journal article, 2019)Tallis, Heather; Kreis, Katharine; Olander, Lydia; Ringler, Claudia; Ameyaw, David; Borsuk, Mark E.; Fletschner, Diana; Game, Edward; Gilligan, Daniel O.; Jeuland, Marc; Kennedy, Gina; Masuda, Yuta J.; Mehta, Sumi; Miller, ... -
The impact of leopards (Panthera pardus) on livestock losses and human injuries in a human-use landscape in Maharashtra, India
(Journal article, 2020)There are many ways in which large carnivores and humans interact in shared spaces. In this study we provide insights into human-leopard relationships in an entirely modified, human-dominated landscape inhabited by dense ... -
Learning from scientific literature: Can indicators for measuring success be standardized in “on the ground” restoration?
(Journal article, 2020)The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) Primer identifies key ecosystem attributes for evaluating restoration outcome. Broad attribute categories could be necessary due to the large variety of restoration projects, but ... -
The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements
(Journal article, 2020)Qvenild T, Hesthagen T and Fjellheim A. 2020. The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements. ... -
MICESE: A New Method Used for the Formulation of Key Messages from the Scientific Community for the EU Post 2020 Biodiversity Strategy
(Journal article, 2020)The European Union (EU) 2020 Biodiversity strategy will soon come to an end and may not have been as successful as envisioned. In the current context of the global biodiversity crisis, the European Commission, the research ... -
Communication Interventions and Fear of Brown Bears: Considerations of Content and Format
(Journal article, 2019)Communication interventions are commonly proposed as a way to address people’s fear and negative attitudes to build tolerance in shared landscapes between humans and large carnivores. Therefore, managing authorities ... -
Relating national levels of crop damage to the abundance of large grazing birds: Implications for management
(Journal article, 2020)1. Populations of large grazing birds have increased in Europe during the past five decades, raising conflicts between conservation and farming interests. Managing these conflicts requires knowledge about the currently ... -
Host specificity drives genetic structure in a freshwater mussel
(Journal article, 2019)Parasites often depend on their hosts for long distance transport, and genetic population structure can be strongly affected by host specificity and dispersal. Freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) populations ... -
Phenotypic plasticity and epigenetics of fish: Embryo temperature affects later-developing life-history traits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Temperature during embryonic development affects ecological traits and influences the ability to rapidly adapt to the prevailing conditions in changing environments. Here, we review examples of how these developmental ...
