Analyzing procedural equity in government-led community-based forest management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Participatory approaches to forest management have been promoted as a means of returning rights historically removed, and as a way of managing natural resources sustainably, fairly, and to improve livelihoods in communities. ... -
The application gap: Genomics for biodiversity and ecosystem service management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The conservation of biodiversity from the genetic to the community levels is fundamental for the continual provision of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people. Genetic and genomic diversity ... -
Camtrap DP: an open standard for the FAIR exchange and archiving of camera trap data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Camera trapping has revolutionized wildlife ecology and conservation by providing automated data acquisition, leading to the accumulation of massive amounts of camera trap data worldwide. Although management and processing ... -
Characteristics, drivers and feedbacks of global greening
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snowcover and predator abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background ... -
Comparisons of reproductive function and fatty acid fillet quality between triploid and diploid farm Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Triploidy could prevent escaped farm salmon breeding in the wild, while also improving nutrient quality within farmed fillets. Despite these potential advantages, triploid Atlantic salmon have not been widely used in ... -
Decomposition of the structural response of the Francis-99 runner during resonance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this work, the complex structural response of the Francis-99 turbine runner is further investigated by decomposition of the output signal from previous Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) measurements into the motion of each ... -
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Twenty-fve years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being, addressing the global biodiversity crisis still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values ... -
Environmental benefits of leaving offshore infrastructure in the ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The removal of thousands of structures associated with oil and gas development from the world’s oceans is well underway, yet the environmental impacts of this decommissioning practice remain unknown. Similar impacts will ... -
EviAtlas: A tool for visualising evidence synthesis databases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Systematic mapping assesses the nature of an evidence base, answering how much evidence exists on a particular topic. Perhaps the most useful outputs of a systematic map are an interactive database of studies and their ... -
Evidence synthesis for tackling research waste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is an immediate need for a change in research workflows so that pre-existing knowledge is better used in designing new research. A formal assessment of the accumulated knowledge prior to research approval would reduce ... -
Existing evidence on the use of participatory scenarios in ecological restoration: a systematic map
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background and context The scale of land degradation worldwide has led to nearly one billion hectares committed to restoration globally. However, achieving such restoration targets will necessitate complex trade-offs against ... -
Experimental hydraulics on fish-friendly trash-racks: an ecological approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Flight elevation and water clarity affect the utility of unmanned aerial vehicles in mapping stream substratum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Presence of 6PPD-quinone in runoff water samples from Norway using a new LC–MS/MS method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The chemical 6PPD-quinone is highly toxic to some fish species of the Oncorhynchus and Salvelinus genera and is the oxidation product of the common car tire additive 6PPD. We present a new sample preparation method that ... -
Regional Diversity of Maritime Antarctic Soil Fungi and Predicted Responses of Guilds and Growth Forms to Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We report a metabarcoding study documenting the fungal taxa in 29 barren fellfield soils sampled from along a 1,650 km transect encompassing almost the entire maritime Antarctic (60–72°S) and the environmental factors ... -
The role of participatory scenarios in ecological restoration: a systematic map protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The scale of land degradation worldwide has led the UN to declare the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration and movements such as the Bonn Challenge (https:// www. bonnc halle nge. org/), have placed ecological ... -
Simple Principles for Guiding of Large-Scale Landscape Restorations
(Journal article, 2023)Restoration projects are complex and especially upscaling of restoration represent challenges that must be solved in a multidisciplinary setting. To establish cooperation between the wide range of professions there is a ... -
Three decades of environmental change studies at alpine Finse, Norway: climate trends and responses across ecological scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) was established to understand how environmental change impacts Arctic and alpine ecosystems. The success of the ITEX-network has allowed for several important across-site ... -
Unleaded hunting: Are copper bullets and lead-based bullets equally effective for killing big game?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Semi-jacketed lead-cored or copper-based homogenous rifle bullets are commonly used for hunting big game. Ever since their introduction in the 1990’s, copper-based bullets have not been widely accepted by hunters due ...
