COVID-19 lockdowns cause global air pollution declines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The lockdown response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused an unprecedented reduction in global economic and transport activity. We test the hypothesis that this has reduced tropospheric and ground-level air ... -
COVID-19 related travel restrictions prevented numerous wildlife deaths on roads: A comparative analysis of results from 11 countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Millions of wild animals are killed annually on roads worldwide. During spring 2020, the volume of road traffic was reduced globally as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. We gathered data on wildlife-vehicle colli-sions ... -
¿Cómo incrementar la multifuncionalidad en potreros?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)En las zonas ganaderas de Nicaragua hay un interés creciente de los productores por retener y manejar árboles en potreros (árboles dispersos y cercas vivas). Es recomendable que el productor considere la importancia de la ... -
Creating urban green infrastructure where it is needed – A spatial ecosystem service-based decision analysis of green roofs in Barcelona
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)As cities face increasing pressure fromdensification trends, green roofs represent a valuable source of ecosystem services for residents of compact metropolises where available green space is scarce. However, to date little ... -
Critical seasonal conditions in the reindeer-herding year: A synopsis of factors and events in Fennoscandia and north-western Russia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In this article, we identify what herders in Fennoscandia and northwestern Russia see as critical conditions and events in the annual reindeer herding cycle. Indigenous S´ami and Yamal reindeer herders identify eight ... -
Critical, Engaged and Change-oriented Scholarship in Environmental Communication. Six Methodological Dilemmas to Think With
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)While calls for critical, engaged and change-oriented scholarship in environmental communication (EC) abound, few articles discuss what this may practically entail. With this article, we aim to contribute to a discussion ... -
Crowdsourced air temperatures contrast satellite measures of the urban heat island and its mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The ubiquitous nature of satellite data has led to an explosion of studies on the surface urban heat island (SUHI). Relatively few have simultaneously used air temperature measurements to compare SUHI with the canopy UHI ... -
Cryptococcus fagisuga Lindinger, 1936 (Hemiptera, Cryptococcidae) confirmed from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The knowledge of the scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha) in Norway is very poor compared to our neighbouring countries. The latest checklist was compiled by Fjelddalen (1996), who lists and comments on the biology and ... -
Decision making for sustainable natural resource management under political constraints – the case of revising hydropower licenses in Norwegian watercourses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Norway is the largest hydropower producer in Europe and provides currently 96% of domestic electricity supplies. Hydropower is a renewable and climate friendly source of energy, but causes an impairment on local environmental ... -
Decline of parasitic and habitat-specialist species drives taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional homogenization of sub-alpine bumblebee communities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The ongoing biodiversity crisis is characterised not only by an elevated extinction rate but also can lead to an increasing similarity of species assemblages. This is an issue of major concern, as it can reduce ecosystem ... -
Decomposing the spatial and temporal effects of climate on bird populations in northern European mountains
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The relationships between species abundance or occurrence versus spatial variation in climate are commonly used in species distribution models (SDMs) to forecast future distributions. Under “space-for-time-substitution”, ... -
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 ... -
Deep sympatric mitochondrial divergence without reproductive isolation in the common redstart Phoenicurus phoenicurus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Mitochondrial DNA usually shows low sequence variation within and high sequence divergence among species, which makes it a useful marker for phylogenetic inference and DNA barcoding. A previous study on the common redstart ... -
Defining and quantifying effective connectivity of landscapes for species’ movements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ecosystem functioning depends on multiple successful interactions, many supported by individual movements. The degree to which the landscape allows these interactions to take place has been referred to as ‘effective ... -
Defining animal welfare standards in hunting: body mass determines thresholds for incapacitation time and flight distance

Defining ecological buffer mechanisms should consider diverse approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In their response letter, Gascoigne et al. propose a relevant approach to characterizing ecological buffer mechanisms, akin to the study of buffer mechanisms in chemistry [1]. Their chemistry-inspired viewpoint enables ... -
Degenerative Encephalopathy in Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers Presenting with a Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background:Neurodegenerative diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by loss of neurons and arecommonly associated with a genetic mutation.Hypothesis/Objectives:To characterize the clinical and ... -
Delayed egg‐laying and shortened incubation duration of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds coincide with climate cooling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Biological impacts of climate change are exemplified by shifts in phenology. As the timing of breeding advances, the within- season relationships between timing of breed-ing and reproductive ... -
Delineating participation in conservation governance: Insights from the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The active participation of local stakeholders in governing protected areas is increasingly recognized in biodiversity conservation. While progress has been made in countries to facilitate inclusivity in conservation ... -
Delineation of the forest-tundra ecotone using texture-based classification of satellite imagery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The transition zone between the boreal forest and Arctic tundra, the forest-tundra ecotone (FTE), is an area of high ecological and climatological significance. Despite its importance, a globally consistent high spatial ...
