Decadal increases in carbon uptake offset by respiratory losses across northern permafrost ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Tundra and boreal ecosystems encompass the northern circumpolar permafrost region and are experiencing rapid environmental change with important implications for the global carbon (C) budget. We analysed multi-decadal time ... -
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
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
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 ... -
Demersal fish assemblages in the boreo-Arctic shelf waters around Svalbard during the warm period 2007–2014
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Demographic drivers of collapse in an island population of Tree Swallows
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Diagnosing causes of population declines requires an understanding of the contributions of demographic vital rates to interannual variability and long-term changes in population size. At Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada, ... -
Demographic measures of an individual's "pace of life": fecundity rate, lifespan, generation time, or a composite variable?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Comparative analyses have demonstrated the existence of a ^pace-of-life^ (POL) continuum of life-history strategies, from fastreproducing short-lived species to slow-reproducing long-lived species. This idea has been ... -
Demographic responses of Arctic seabirds to spring sea-ice variations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Arctic experiences a rapid retreat of sea-ice, particularly in spring and summer, which may dramatically affect pagophilic species. In recent years, the decline of many Arctic seabird populations has raised concerns ... -
Demonstrating the practical impact of studies on biotic interactions and adaptation of a threatened unionoid mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) to its host fish (Salmo trutta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)conservation evaluation, fish, invertebrates, stream -
Density independent use of shallow riverine areas in juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Habitat use of aquatic organisms is essential to evaluate effects of many environmental challenges like effects of hydro-power regulation, where stranding may occur under hydropeaking (rapid dewatering of shallow river ... -
Density of Wild Prey Modulates Lynx Kill Rates on Free-Ranging Domestic Sheep
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Understanding the factors shaping the dynamics of carnivore–livestock conflicts is vital to facilitate large carnivore conservation in multi-use landscapes. We investigated how the density of their main wild prey, roe deer ...
