Stylonectria norvegica (Nectriaceae), a new species fromNorway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Stylonectria norvegica sp. nov. is described from three collections on pyrenomycetous hosts on Quercus, Betula and Alnus in Norway. The fusarium-like asexual state was obtained in culture and the ITS1- 5.8S-ITS2 loci ... -
Sub-arctic mosses and lichens show idiosyncratic responses to combinations of winter heatwaves, freezing and nitrogen deposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Arctic ecosystems are increasingly exposed to extreme climatic events throughout the year, which can affect species performance. Cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens) provide important ecosystem services in polar ecosystems ... -
Supplementary stocking selects for domesticated genotypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Stocking of hatchery produced fish is common practise to mitigate declines in natural populations and may have unwanted genetic consequences. Here we describe a novel phenomenon arising where broodstock used for stocking ... -
Supportive breeders of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar have reduced fitness in nature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are in decline over the entire distribution area, and populations are enhanced by supportive breeding. Parental fish are sampled in rivers, crossed and the offspring reared in hatcheries ... -
Survival and cause-specific mortality of harvested willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) in central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Survival is a key demographic component that often varies as a result of human activities such as recreational harvest. Detailed understanding of seasonal variation in mortality patterns and the role of various risk factors ... -
Survival and Migration of Rock Ptarmigan in Central Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In a world undergoing massive declines in the distribution and abundance of many wildlife species, documenting basic ecological characteristics is often needed to be able to understand and potentially mitigate current and ... -
Survival estimates strongly depend on capture–recapture designs in a disturbed environment inducing dispersal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Capture-Recapture (CR) approaches are extensively used to estimate demographic parameters. Their robustness relies on the selection of suitable statistical models, but also on the sampling design and effort deployed in the ... -
Survival rate and breeding outputs in a high Arctic seabird exposed to legacy persistent organic pollutants and mercury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Chronic exposure to pollutants may represent a threat for wildlife.We tested whether adult survival rate, breeding probability and breeding success the year of sampling and the following year were affected by blood levels ... -
Surviving the antarctic winter—life stage cold tolerance and ice entrapment survival in the invasive chironomid midge Eretmoptera murphyi
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An insect’s ability to tolerate winter conditions is a critical determinant of its success. This is true for both native and invasive species, and especially so in harsh polar environments. The midge Eretmoptera murphyi ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An insect’s ability to tolerate winter conditions is a critical determinant of its success. This is true for both native and invasive species, and especially so in harsh polar environments. The midge Eretmoptera murphyi ... -
Sustainable Development Goals and risks: The Yin and the Yang of the paths towards sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The United Nations 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define a path towards a sustainable future, but given that uncertainty characterises the outcomes of any SDG-related actions, risks in the implementation ... -
Sustainable Tourism in Svalbard: Balancing economic growth, sustainability, and environmental governance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This commentary introduces a methodology and theoretical framework for studying how the tourism industry might balance the competing demands of economic growth and environ mental governance. We focus on the “balancing ... -
Swimming performance of brown trout and grayling show species- specific responses to changes in temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fishways have historically been constructed to restore and preserve the ecological connectivity for fish in fragmented rivers. However, the fishways are often selective on species due to different size and swimming capacity. ... -
Sympatric population divergence within a highly pelagic seabird species complex (Hydrobates spp.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Synergies and trade-offs between ecosystem services in an alpine ecosystem grazed by sheep – An experimental approach
(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 ... -
A synthesis of multi-taxa management experiments to guide forest biodiversity conservation in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Most European forests are used for timber production. Given the limited extent of unmanaged (and especially primary) forests, it is essential to include commercial forests in the conservation of forest biodiversity. ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis of PIT tagging effects on mortality and growth of juvenile salmonids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the appropriate tag:fish size ratio when tagging juvenile salmonids (genera Oncorhynchus, Salmo, and Salvelinus). The review yielded 18 publications with 211 ... -
Taking a trip to the shelf: Behavioral decisions are mediated by the proximity to foraging habitats in the black-legged kittiwake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)For marine top predators like seabirds, the oceans represent a multitude of habitats regarding oceanographic conditions and food availability. Worldwide, these marine habitats are being altered by changes in climate and ... -
Taxonomic and functional reorganization in Central European stream macroinvertebrate communities over 25 years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate warming can lead to a replacement of species that favour cold temperatures by species that favour warm temperatures. However, the implications of such thermic shifts for the functioning of ecosystems remain poorly ... -
Taxonomically and Functionally Distinct Ciliophora Assemblages Inhabiting Baltic Sea Ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ciliophora is a phylum of unicellular eukaryotes that are common and have pivotal roles in aquatic environments. Sea ice is a marine habitat, which is composed of a matrix of solid ice and pockets of saline water in which ...
