Species-specific spatiotemporal patterns of leopard, lion and tiger attacks on humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Large carnivores of the genus Panthera can pose serious threats to public safety. Although the annual number of attacks on humans is rare compared to livestock depredation, such incidents undermine popular support for ... -
Sperm velocity in a promiscuous bird across experimental media of different viscosities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In species with internal fertilization, the female genital tract appears challenging to sperm, possibly resulting from selection on for example ovarian fluid to control sperm behaviour and, ultimately, fertilization. Few ... -
Sphagnum incundum a new species in Sphagnum subg. Acutifolia (Sphagnaceae) from boreal and arctic regions of North America
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We describe Sphagnum incundum in Sphagnum subg. Acutifolia (Sphagnaceae, Bryophyta). We used both molecular and morphological methods to describe the new species. Molecular relationships with closely related species were ... -
Spreading or Gathering? Can Traditional Knowledge be a Resource to Tackle Reindeer Diseases Associated with Climate Change?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper inquires whether reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge (TK) provides a reservoir of precaution and adaptation possibilities that may be relevant to counteract climate change. As our core example, we used the ... -
Spring phenology shapes the spatial foraging behavior of Antarctic petrels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In polar seas, the seasonal melting of ice triggers the development of an open-water ecosystem characterized by short-lived algal blooms, the grazing and development of zooplankton, and the influx of avian and mammalian ... -
Stable isotope marking of otoliths duringvaccination: a novel method for mass-marking fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Tagging or marking of fishes enables the collection of population-based information for ecological research, yet few techniques enable 100% mark detection success. We tested a new mass-marking technique: otolith marking ... -
Stable isotopes and gut contents indicate differential resource use by coexisting asp (Leuciscus aspius) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Differential use of habitat and prey resources is an important mechanism that may allow coexistence of sympatric species. Unlike interactions between smaller cyprinid and percid fishes, the resource use by coexisting ... -
Stable isotopes reveal diet shift from pre-extinction to reintroduced Przewalski's horses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), the only remaining wild horse within the equid family, is one of only a handful of species worldwide that went extinct in the wild, was saved by captive breeding, and has ... -
Stakeholders’ perspectives on the operationalisation of the ecosystem service concept: results from 27 case studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The ecosystem service (ES) concept is becoming mainstream in policy and planning, but operational influence on practice is seldom reported. Here, we report the practitioners’ perspectives on the practical implementation ... -
Stand structure, recruitment and growth dynamics in mixed subalpine spruce and Swiss stone pine forests in the Eastern Carpathians
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Natural subalpine forests are considered to be sensitive to climate change, and forest characteristics are assumed to reflect the prevalent disturbance regime. We hypothesize that stand history determines different stand ... -
State and transition model approach in native forests of Southern Patagonia (Argentina): linking ecosystem services, thresholds and resilience
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The sustainable use of ñire forests requires knowledge of its dynamics and management to maintain long-term main forest ecosystem services. The aim of this work was to develop a structural–functional state and transition ... -
Statistical and ecological challenges of monitoring parasitic salmon lice infestations in wild salmonid fish stocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Ecological monitoring programmes should provide precise data to inform management, but the data quality is often limited by methodological challenges and the need for cost-effective sampling. Parasite infestations are ... -
Status and trends in Arctic vegetation: Evidence from experimental warming and long-term monitoring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Changes in Arctic vegetation can have important implications for trophic interactions and ecosystem functioning leading to climate feedbacks. Plot-based vegetation surveys provide detailed insight into vegetation changes ... -
Stedsnavn i Tirol: endonymiprinsippets utfordringer i møtet med språklig og toponymisk mangfold
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Toponyms of Tyrol – how to apply the endonymic principle in a highly diverse namescape -
Steep declines in radioactive caesium after 30 years of monitoring alpine plants in mountain areas of central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Chernobyl accident exposed large areas of northern Europe to radiocaesium (137Cs). We investigated temporal and spatial variation in concentrations of radiocaesium among five functional groups of alpine plants at two ... -
Strandenger i Østfold – areal, økologisk tilstand og rødlistearter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Salt meadows in Østfold – area, ecological condition and red listed species -
Strategic conservation for lesser prairie-chickens among landscapes of varying anthropogenic influence
(Journal article, 2019)For millennia grasslands have provided a myriad of ecosystem services and have been coupled with human resource use. The loss of 46% of grasslands worldwide necessitates the need for conservation that is spatially, temporally, ... -
A stream-to-sea experiment reveals inhibitory effects of freshwater residency on organic-matter decomposition in the sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)One billion tons of carbon are annually transported to the global ocean, and the fate of this carbon hinges notonly on marine processing rates, but also on freshwater processing during downstream transport. Using acotton-strip ... -
Stress-induced secondary leaves of a boreal deciduous shrub (Vaccinium myrtillus) overwinter then regain activity the following growing season
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The ericoid shrub Vaccinium myrtillus is one of several deciduous boreal plants that respond to larval defoliation by compensatory production of a new set of leaves within the same growing season soon after defoliation. ... -
The structural variation landscape in 492 Atlantic salmon genomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genetic and phenotypic variation, but remain challenging to accurately type and are hence poorly characterized in most species. We present an approach for reliable SV discovery ...
