A role for lakes in revealing the nature of animal movement using high dimensional telemetry systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Movement ecology is increasingly relying on experimental approaches and hypothesis testing to reveal how, when, where, why, and which animals move. Movement of megafauna is inherently interesting but many of the fundamental ... -
Segmented forest realities: The ontological politics of biodiversity mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Since the late 1990 s, biodiversity mapping has been a key instrument for preventing loss of species and habitats in Norwegian productive forests. Having major implications for the abilities of actors to pursue their ... -
Pathways of introduction of alien species in Norway: analyses of an exhaustive dataset to prioritise management efforts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Alien species constitute one of the major threats to global biodiversity. Stopping alien species at an early stage, preferably before establishment, is crucial for the effectiveness of management actions. To enable early ... -
Species interactions, environmental gradients and body size shape population niche width
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Competition for shared resources is commonly assumed to restrict population-level niche width of coexisting species. However, the identity and abundance of coexisting species, the prevailing environmental conditions, ... -
A practical conservation tool to combine diverse types of evidence for transparent evidence-based decision-making
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Making the reasoning and evidence behind conservation management decisions clear and transparent is a key challenge for the conservation community. Similarly, combining evidence from diverse sources (e.g., scientific and ... -
A river runs through the landscape: Everyday use in an ever changing environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The meaning of riverine landscapes to society has evolved to serve our ever-changing needs, from harvesting and transporting resources to arenas for outdoor recreation and contemplation. From the 18th century, rivers have ... -
Perspectives on the environmental implications of sustainable hydro-power: comparing countries, problems and approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Perspectives on the Environmental Implications of Sustainable Hydropower gathers scientific papers from three of the worlds most important hydropower producers to discuss aspects of sustainable hydropower and the means by ... -
Nutritional state variations in a tropical seabird throughout its breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Individual body condition is frequently used to explain differences in foraging and breeding ecology in seabirds. However, little is known about the covariations of body mass with the nutritional state of animals as measured ... -
Upper thermal threshold of Lepidurus arcticus (Branchiopoda, Notostraca) in lakes on the southern outreach of its distribution range
(Peer reviewed, 2021)Qvenild T, Fjeld E, Fjellheim A, Hammar J, Hesthagen T and Lakka H-K. 2021. Upper thermal threshold of Lepidurus arcticus (Branchiopoda, Notostraca) in lakes on the southern outreach of its distribution range. Fauna norvegica ... -
Satellite telemetry uncovers important wintering areas for Snowy owls on the Kola peninsula, northwestern Russia
(Peer reviewed, 2018)In order to reveal winter movements and wintering areas of snowy owls breeding in Northern Fennoscandia, we conducted a telemetry study by use of battery operated satellite transmitters. Nine battery powered ARGOS satellite ... -
Will accelerated soil development be a driver of Arctic Greening in the late 21st century?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate warming is transforming the Arctic at an unprecedented rate with previously barren and sparsely vegetated landscapes undergoing “greening”. We postulate that the observed vegetation changes throughout the Arctic ... -
European mushroom assemblages are phylogenetically structured by temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent global warming affects species compositions at an unprecedented rate. To predict climate-induced changes in species assemblages, a better understanding of the link between species occurrence and climate is needed. ... -
Circum-Arctic distribution of chemical anti-herbivore compounds suggests biome-wide trade-off in defence strategies in Arctic shrubs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ... -
Peatland core domain sets: building consensus on what should be measured in research and monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is often difficult to compile and synthesise evidence across multiple studies to inform policy and practice because different outcomes have been measured in different ways or datasets and models have not been fully or ... -
Global population and conservation status of the Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus is a generalist species that inhabits temperate and arctic coasts of the north Atlantic Ocean. In recent years, there has been growing concern about population declines at local ... -
North Atlantic winter cyclones starve seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Each winter, the North Atlantic Ocean is the stage for numerous cyclones, the most severe ones leading to seabird mass-mortality events called ‘‘winter wrecks.’’ During these, thousands of emaciated seabird carcasses are ... -
A minute of your time: The impact of survey recruitment method and interview location on the value of travel time
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Web-based stated preference (SP) surveys are widely used to estimate values of travel time (VTT) for cost–benefit analysis, often with internet panels as the source of recruitment. The recruitment method could potentially ... -
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 ... -
Two species of ant symbionts in colonies of Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) new to Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Two species of symbionts associated with the ant species Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758) are recorded for the first time in Norway; Chennium bituberculatum Latreille, 1807 (Coleoptera; Staphylinidae; Pselaphinae) ... -
The Coexistence Potential of Different Wildlife Conservation Frameworks in a Historical Perspective
(Peer reviewed, 2022)Wildlife management in contemporary Europe means balancing multiple demands in shared landscapes. Perhaps the greatest question facing today’s policy makers and wildlife professionals is how to develop frameworks for ...
