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 ... -

A paleogenomic investigation of overharvest implications in an endemic wild reindeer subspecies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Overharvest can severely reduce the abundance and distribution of a species andthereby impact its genetic diversity and threaten its future viability. Overharvestremains an ongoing issue for Arctic mammals, which due to ... -
The paradox of searching efficiency or why are violent population cycles so uncommon in terrestrial ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The searching efficiency of predators depends on the balance between the adaptations of the predator and the counter-adaptations of the prey. In this evolutionary race, the prey should normally have the upper hand, as it ... -
Parasitoids in the family Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) new to Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Chalcidoidea is likely the most species rich superfamily among all Hymenoptera (Noyes 2022). Because of their small size and lack of knowledge, little is known about their species richness and ecology worldwide. In Norway, ... -
Participatory monitoring drives biodiversity knowledge in global protected areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Protected areas are central in strategies to conserve biodiversity. Effective area-based conservation relies on biodiversity data, but the current biodiversity knowledge base is insufficient and limited by geographic and ... -
Parturition dates in wild Eurasian lynx: evidence of a second oestrus?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding reproductive physiology of a species is important to assess their potential to respond to environmental variation and perturbation of their social system during the mating or pre-mating seasons. We report 175 ... -
Pastures under pressure. Effects of other land users and the environment
(Chapter, 2022)Reindeer habitats cover most vegetation zones of northern Fennoscandia, from boreal forest to coastal and alpine areas (Chapters 1 and 3). These vegetation zones are used during different seasons for reindeer grazing and ... -
Pathways of introduction of alien species in Norway: analyses of an exhaustive dataset to prioritise management efforts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Alien species constitute one of the major threats to global biodiversity. Stopping alien species at an early stage, preferably before establishment, is crucial for the effectiveness of management actions. To enable early ... -
Payments for Ecosystem Services as a Policy Mix: Demonstrating the institutional analysis and development framework on conservation policy instruments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Policy mix analysis has been applied in research on energy, climate, urban and transport policy, and more recently biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. However, policy mix analysis has thus far been employed ... -
Peatland core domain sets: building consensus on what should be measured in research and monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is often difficult to compile and synthesise evidence across multiple studies to inform policy and practice because different outcomes have been measured in different ways or datasets and models have not been fully or ... -
Perceptions of environmental justice and the conflict surrounding large carnivore management in Norway — Implications for conflict management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Human-wildlife conflict is increasingly being recognised as containing strong elements of social conflict. The extent to which stakeholders regard a management system as being just and fair is a key social dimension of ... -
Perfluorinated substances and telomeres in an Arctic seabird: Cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Telomeres are non-coding DNA repeats located at the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes, regulated by dynamic processes balancing shortening and maintenance. Despite a mechanism to slow-down telomere shortening, cell division ... -
Performance of hunting statistics as spatiotemporal density indices of moose (Alces alces) in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Wildlife managers are often asking for reliable information of population density across larger spatial scales. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal relationships between moose density as estimated by cohort ... -
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. ... -
Persistent reduction of segment growth and photosynthesis in a widespread and important sub-Arctic moss species after cessation of three years of experimental winter warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Winter is a period of dormancy for plants of cold environments. However, winter climate is changing, leading to an increasing frequency of stochastic warm periods (winter warming events) and concomitant reductions in ... -
Perspectives on the environmental implications of sustainable hydro-power: comparing countries, problems and approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Perspectives on the Environmental Implications of Sustainable Hydropower gathers scientific papers from three of the worlds most important hydropower producers to discuss aspects of sustainable hydropower and the means by ... -
Pestplanten tromsøsvineblom Jacobaea alpina x subalpina i Norge - opphav og status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Jacobaea alpina (syn. Senecio alpinus, S. cordatus) and J. subalpina (syn. Senecio subalpinus) are native to the mountains of Central Europe. Both were cultivated as ornamentals in late 19th century Tromsø. From the early ... -
Phenology and cover of plant growth forms predict herbivore habitat selection in a high latitude ecosystem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The spatial and temporal distribution of forage quality is among the most central factors affecting herbivore habitat selection. Yet, for high latitude areas, forage quantity has been found to be more important than quality. ... -
Phenology of deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) host-seeking flight activity and its relationship with prevailing autumn weather
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background: The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) is an ectoparasite on cervids that has invaded large parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland during recent decades. During their host-seeking flight activity, the adult deer keds ...
