Age of European silver eels during a period of declining abundance in Norway
(Journal article, 2020)The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered throughout its range. Knowledge about age distribution of future spawners (silver eels) is essential to monitor the status and contribute to the recovery of ... -
Altitude, latitude, and climate zone as determinants of mountain hare (Lepus timidus) coat colour change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Bottom-up rather than top-down mechanisms determine mesocarnivore interactions in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Interactions among coexisting mesocarnivores can be influenced by different factors such as the presence of large carnivores, land-use, environmental productivity,or human disturbance. Disentangling the relative importance ... -
Breeding populations of Marbled Godwits and Willets have high annual survival and strong site fidelity to managed wetlands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Prairie Pothole Region of central Canada supports a diverse community of breeding waterbirds, but many species have declining populations and the demographic mechanisms driving the declines remain unknown. We conducted ... -
Climate influence on plant–pollinator interactions in the keystone species Vaccinium myrtillus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is altering the world's ecosystems through direct effects of climate warming and precipitation changes but also indirectly through changes in biotic interactions. For instance, climate-driven changes in plant ... -
Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Demographic correlations are pervasive in wildlife populations and can represent important secondary drivers of population growth. Empirical evidence suggests that correlations are in general positive for long-lived ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Directed endozoochorous dispersal by scavengers facilitate sexual reproduction in otherwise clonal plants at cadaver sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. The regeneration niche of many plant species involves spatially and tempo -rally unpredictable disturbances, called recruitment windows of opportunity. However, even species with clear ... -
Effect of tower base painting on willow ptarmigan collision rates with wind turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Birds colliding with turbine rotor blades is a well-known negative consequence of wind-power plants. However, there has been far less attention to the risk of birds colliding with the turbine towers, and how to mitigate ... -
Evaluating citizen science data for forecasting species responses to national forest management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The extensive spatial and temporal coverage of many citizen science datasets (CSD) makes them appealing for use in species distribution modeling and forecasting. However, a frequent limitation is the inability to validate ... -
Evolutionary change in metabolic rate of Daphnia pulicaria following invasion by the predator Bythotrephes longimanus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Metabolic rate is a trait that may evolve in response to the direct and indirect effects of predator-induced mortality. Predators may indirectly alter selection by lowering prey densities and increasing resource availability ... -
Evolutionary responses to a changing climate: Implications for reindeer population viability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)If we want to understand how climate change affects long-lived organisms, we must know how individuals allocate resources between current reproduction and survival. This trade-off is affected by expected environmental ... -
Extreme home range sizes among Eurasian lynx at the northern edge of their biogeographic range
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) have a wide distribution across Eurasia. The northern edge of this distribution is in Norway, where they reach up to 72 degrees north. We conducted a study of lynx space use in this region from ... -
Framing pictures: A conceptual framework to identify and correct for biases in detection probability of camera traps enabling multi‐species comparison
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Obtaining reliable species observations is of great importance in animal ecology and wildlife conservation. An increasing number of studies use camera traps (CTs) to study wildlife communities, and an increasing effort is ... -
Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as ... -
High levels of multiple paternity in a spermcast mating
(Journal article, 2018)Multiple paternity is an important characteristic of the genetic mating system and common across a wide range of taxa. Multiple paternity can increase within-population genotypic diversity, allowing selection to act on ...
