Louping-ill virus serosurvey of willow ptarmigan (Lagopus Lagopus Lagopus) in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In Norway, the Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus lagopus) is experiencing population declines and is nationally Red Listed as Near Threatened. Although disease has not generally been regarded as an important factor behind ... -
Loven øst for Glomma. Om støtte for ulovlig jakt på ulv som uttrykk for politisk motstand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Konfliktene som utspiller seg rundt forvaltningen av ulv har etablert seg som et stabilt og synlig trekk i den norske politiske offentligheten. Også på bakken, ute blant vanlige folk, er kontroversene sterke. I deler av ... -
Low cardiac output as physiological phenomenon in hibernating, free-ranging Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos) - an observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Despite 5-7 months of physical inactivity during hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) are able to cope with physiological conditions that would be detrimental to humans. During hibernation, the tissue metabolic ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Despite 5-7 months of physical inactivity during hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) are able to cope with physiological conditions that would be detrimental to humans. During hibernation, the tissue ... -
Low impact of dry conditions on the CO2 exchange of aNorthern-Norwegian blanket bog.
(Peer reviewed; Journal Article, 2015)Northern peatlands hold large amounts of organic carbon (C) in their soils and are as such important in a climate change context. Blanket bogs, i.e. nutrient-poor peatlands restricted to maritime climates, may be extra ... -
Low Recruitment in a Population of Brook Trout in a Norwegian Watershed—Is It Due to Dilution of the Water Chemistry?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Dilution of the water chemistry caused by reduced acidification has lately received increased attention, both in Europe and North America. There has also been a declining trend in the supply of sea salts. Several studies ... -
Low-intensive agricultural landscapes could help to sustain Green Peafowl Pavo muticus inhabiting surrounding forest patches in Northern Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wildlife in Southeast Asia is greatly affected by agricultural expansion. While intensive farming causes biodiversity decline, low-intensive farming can support some adapted wildlife. In Thailand, the rapid transformation ... -
Lower levels of human disturbance correspond with longer-term persistence of Endangered Green Peafowl Pavo muticus populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Galliformes are one of the most threatened groups of birds in South-East Asia, with 27% of the species threatened with extinction. Long term population viability and extinction probability studies, at different levels of ... -
Lower Urban Humidity Moderates Outdoor Heat Stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi-city studies and for informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature measurements. Cities also have lower relative humidity, ... -
Lynx predation on semi-domestic reindeer: do age and sex matter?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The Eurasian lynx is an efficient stalking predator mainly selecting small-sized ungulates. In northern Scandinavia, semi-domestic reindeer are the only ungulate species available for Eurasian lynx year round and consequently ... -
Macrobenthic communities in water bodies and streams of Svalbard, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Diversity of macrobenthic communities was studied from water bodies and streams of Spitsbergen, Svalbard archipelago, Norway. In total 162 quantitative samples from different regions of Spitsbergen were analysed in relation ... -
Macrophytes shape trophic niche variation among generalist fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generalist species commonly have a fundamental role in ecosystems as they can integrate spatially distinct habitats and food-web compartments, as well as control the composition, abundance and behavior of organisms at ... -
Making Messy Data Work for Conservation
(Journal article, 2020)Conservationists increasingly use unstructured observational data, such as citizen science records or ranger patrol observations, to guide decision making. These datasets are often large and relatively cheap to collect, ... -
Managing small populations—using genetic data and trial translocations to help inform suitable conservation measures for the alpine blue-sowthistle (Cicerbita alpina) in Scotland
(Peer reviewed, 2023)Habitat fragmentation is causing an increasing amount of species loss around the world and creates problems at the population level. Many species are left as only small and isolated populations, which are vulnerable to ... -
Managing Svalbard Tourism: Inconsistencies and Conflicts of Interest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Svalbard Archipelago has experienced a rapid increase in tourism-related activities over the past few decades. The Norwegian Government’s ambition to develop the Archipelago’s tourism industry offers multiple socio-economic ... -
Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and ... -
Mapping roadless areas in regionswith contrasting human footprint
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In an increasingly human- and road-dominated world, the preservation of functional ecosystems has become highly relevant. While the negative ecological impacts of roads on ecosystems are numerous and well documented, ... -
Mapping soil organic carbon stocks and trends with satellite-driven high resolution maps over South Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Estimation and monitoring of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is important for maintaining soil productivity and meeting climate change mitigation targets. Current global SOC maps do not provide enough detail for landscape- ... -
Mapping value plurality towards ecosystem services in the case of Norwegian wildlife management: A Q analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)For many deep-rooted resource conflicts where the cultural component of ecosystem services (ES) is strong, standard monetary valuation may be methodologically difficult and not always meaningful. A deeper understanding of ... -
Marked differences in foraging area use and susceptibility to predation between two closely-related tropical seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological theory predicts that closely-related species must occupy diferent niches to coexist. How marine top predators achieve this during breeding, when they often gather in large multi-species colonies and are constrained ...
