Conserving Wolves by Transforming Them? The Transformative E!fects of Technologies of Government in Biodiversity Conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This article investigates the construction of instruments and techniques employed in the management of Norwegian wolves since the early 1980s by construing the tools as technologies of government. The proliferation of such ... -
Considering sampling bias in close-kin mark–recapture abundance estimates of Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Genetic methods for the estimation of population size can be powerful alternatives to conventional methods. Close-kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is based on the principles of conventional mark–recapture, but instead of being ... -
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 ... -
Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due to variation in survival, growth, and timing of life history ... -
Context drives movement patterns in a mobile marine predator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Intra-specific variability in movement behaviour occurs in all major taxonomic groups. Despite its common occurrence and ecological consequences, individual variability is often overlooked. As a result, there is a persistent ... -
Context-dependent demographic and genetic effects of translocation from a captive breeding project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Translocations are a widespread approach to conserve threatened populations. Given the rapid decline and genetic deterioration of many natural populations, translocations are expected to become even more common in the ... -
A context-sensitive systems approach for understanding and enabling ecosystem service realization in cities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding opportunities as well as constraints for people to benefit from and take care of urban nature is an important step toward more sustainable cities. In order to explore, engage, and enable strategies to improve ... -
Continental-Scale Land Cover Mapping at 10 m Resolution Over Europe (ELC10)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Land cover maps are important tools for quantifying the human footprint on the environment and facilitate reporting and accounting to international agreements addressing the Sustainable Development Goals. Widely used ... -
Continuous outmigration and sequential encountering of environmental cues are important for successful homing of hatchery-reared, anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)When rehabilitating and reintroducing trout Salmo trutta in rivers, it is a goal that as many as possible survive, home and form self-sustaining populations. Hatcheryreared, anadromous S. trutta have significant lower ... -
Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce ... -
Contrasting multi-taxa functional diversity patterns along vegetation structure gradients of woody pastures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Woody pastures represent keystone habitats for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, contributing to increased resource availability, landscape heterogeneity and structural variability. High taxonomic diversity is closely ... -
Contrasting Spatial and Seasonal Trends of Methylmercury Exposure Pathways of Arctic Seabirds: Combination of Large-Scale Tracking and Stable Isotopic Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite the limited direct anthropogenic mercury (Hg) inputs in the circumpolar Arctic, elevated concentrations of methylmercury (MeHg) are accumulated in Arctic marine biota. However, the MeHg production and bioaccumulation ... -
Contrasting structural complexity diferentiate hunting strategy in an ambush apex predator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Structural complexity is known to influence prey behaviour, mortality and population structure, but the effects on predators have received less attention. We tested whether contrasting structural complexity in two newly ... -
Contrasting survival and physiological responses of sub-Arctic plant types to extreme winter warming and nitrogen
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Main conclusion Evergreen plants are more vulnerable than grasses and birch to snow and temperature variability in the sub-Arctic. Most Arctic climate impact studies focus on single factors, such as summer warming, while ... -
The contributions of flower strips to wild bee conservation in agricultural landscapes can be predicted using pollinator habitat suitability models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Sowing flower strips along field edges is a widely adopted method for conserving pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. To maximize the effect of flower strips given limited resources, we need spatially explicit ... -
Contributions to the revision of the genus Entoloma (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in Europe: six new species from subgenus Cyanula and typification of E. incarnatofuscescens
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In anticipation of a phylogenetically revised monograph of Entoloma in Europe, six new species of subgenus Cyanula are described here. Entoloma cistocruentatum is associated with Cistus in Spain, E. dislocatum occurs in ... -
Controlled exposure reduces fear of brown bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Fear of large carnivores such as brown bears may restrict people’s outdoor activities regardless of experts’ estimated risk of attack. This research study empirically examined three exposure interventions in the form of ... -
Cool dudes in Norway: climate change denial among conservative Norwegian men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In their article “Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States” (McCright and Dunlap 2011a) the authors state: “Clearly the extent to which the conservative white male effect ... -
Coprophagy in moose: A first observation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Coprophagy, the eating of feces, has been documented in a wide range of species but appears to be rare or difficult to detect in deer (Cervidae). Here, we report the first observation of coprophagy in moose Alces alces, ... -
