How to induce defense responses in wild plant populations? Using bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) as example
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Inducible plant defense is a beneficial strategy for plants, which imply that plants should allocate resources from growth and reproduction to defense when herbivores attack. Plant ecologist has often studied defense ... -
Ice-dependent winter survival of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Changes in snow and ice conditions are some of the most distinctive impactsof global warming in cold temperate and Arctic regions, altering the environ-ment during a critical period for survival for most animals. Laboratories ... -
Intensity of space use reveals conditional sex-specific effects of prey and conspecific density on home range size
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Interactive effects of body mass changes and species-specific morphology on flight behavior of chick-rearing Antarctic fulmarine petrels under diurnal wind patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)For procellariiform seabirds, wind and morphology are crucial determinants of flight costs and flight speeds. During chick-rearing,parental seabirds commute frequently to provision their chicks, and their body mass ... -
Long-lasting effects of logging on beetles in hollow oaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is growing evidence that biodiversity is important for ecosystem functions. Thus, identification of habitat requirements essential for current species richness and abundance to persist is crucial. Hollow oaks (Quercus ... -
Long-term annual and spatial variation of polygyny in the white-throated dipper (Cinclus cinclus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Mating strategies are key components in the fitness of organisms, and notably in birds the occurrence of monogamy versus polygyny has attracted wide interest. We address this by a very comprehensive dataset (2899 breeding ... -
Mismatch between fishway operation and timing of fish movements: a risk for cascading effects in partial migration systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Habitat fragmentation is a growing problem worldwide. Particularly in river systems, numerous dams and weirs hamper the movement of a wide variety of species. With the aim to preserve connectivity for fish, many barriers ... -
Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ... -
A natural antipredation experiment: predator control and reduced sea ice increases colony size in a long-lived duck
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced ... -
A new biologging approach reveals unique flightless molt strategies of Atlantic puffins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Animal- borne telemetry devices provide essential insights into the life- history strate -gies of far- ranging species and allow us to understand how they interact with their environment. Many species in the seabird family ... -
Occupancy versus colonization–extinction models for projecting population trends at different spatial scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding spatiotemporal population trends and their drivers is a key aim in population ecology. We further need to be able to predict how the dynamics and sizes of populations are affected in the long term by changing ... -
Paint it black: Efficacy of increased wind turbine rotor blade visibility to reduce avian fatalities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As wind energy deployment increases and larger wind-power plants are considered, bird fatalities through collision with moving turbine rotor blades are expected to increase. However, few (cost-) effective deterrent or ... -

Performance test and verification of an off-the-shelf automated avian radar tracking system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Microwave radar is an important tool for observation of birds in flight and represents a tremendous increase in observation capability in terms of amount of surveillance space that can be covered at relatively low cost. ... -
Predicting the spatial expansion of an animal population with presence-only data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Predictive models can improve the efficiency of wildlife management by guiding actions at the local, landscape and regional scales. In recent decades, a vast range of modelling techniques have been developed to predict ... -
Prediction of biodiversity hotspots in the Anthropocene: The case of veteran oaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Over the past centuries, humans have transformed large parts of the biosphere, and there is a growing need to understand and predict the distribution of biodiversity hotspots influenced by the presence of humans. Our basic ... -
Proximity-sensors on GPS collars reveal fine-scale predator–prey behavior during a predation event: A case study from Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although the advent of high-resolution GPS tracking technology has helped increase our understanding of individual and multispecies behavior in wildlife systems, detecting and recording direct interactions between free-ranging ... -
Repeatable individual variation in migration timing in two anadromous salmonids and ecological consequences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Consistent individual differences in behavior have been demonstrated for many animals, but there are few studies of consequences of such repeated behavior in the wild. We tested consistency in migration timing to and from ... -
Scavenging patterns of an inbred wolf population in a landscape with a pulse of human-provided carrion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Scavenging is an important part of food acquisition for many carnivore species that switch between scavenging and predation. In landscapes with anthropogenic impact, humans provide food that scavenging species can utilize. ... -
Short stories from Sphagnum of rare species, taxonomy, and speciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conserving species and their genetic variation are a global priority to safeguard evolu-tionary potential in a rapidly changing world. Species are fundamental units in research and nature management, but taxonomic work is ...
