Quantifying and mapping species threat abatement opportunitiesto support national target setting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The successful implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity’s post-2020Global Biodiversity Framework will rely on effective translation of targets from global tonational level and increased engagement across ... -
Quantifying risk of overharvest when implementation is uncertain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Sustainable harvest management implies an ability to control harvest rates. This is challenging in systems that have limited control of resources and resource users, which is often the case in small game harvest management. ... -
Quantifying suitable late summer brood habitats for willow ptarmigan in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Habitat models provide information about which habitat management should target to avoid species extinctions or range contractions. The willow ptarmigan inhabits alpine- and arctic tundra habitats in the northern ... -
Quantifying the checks and balances of collaborative governance systems for adaptive carnivore management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Recovering or threatened carnivore populations are often harvested to minimise their impact on human activities, such as livestock farming or game hunting. Increasingly, harvest quota decisions involve a set of scientific, ... -
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis reveals a high level of dietary specialization in killer whales across the North Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
The quest for successful Atlantic salmon restoration: perspectives, priorities, and maxims
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north Atlantic and it is therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes to address and mitigate threats and correct ... -
The ‘quiet hunt’: the significance of mushroom foraging among Russian-speaking immigrants in New York City
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Urban foraging provides city dwellers with numerous ecosystem services, but this human- nature interaction is largely missing from the urban ecosystem services scholarship. This exploratory study aims to address this gap ... -
Raising offspring increases ageing: Differences in senescence among three populations of a long-lived seabird, the Atlantic puffin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Actuarial senescence, the decline of survival with age, is well documented in the wild. Rates of senescence vary widely between taxa, to some extent also between sexes, with the fastest life histories showing the highest ... -
Rangifer management controls a climate-sensitive tundra state transition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Rangifer (caribou/reindeer) management has been suggested to mitigate the temperature- driven transition of Arctic tundra into a shrubland state, yet how this happens is uncertain. Here we study this much focused ecosystem ... -
Ranid Herpesvirus 3 Infection in Common Frog Rana temporaria Tadpoles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ranid herpesvirus 3 (RaHV3) is a recently discovered virus associated with skin disease in frogs. We detected RaHV3 DNA in free-ranging common frog (Rana temporaria) tadpoles, consistent with premetamorphic infection. Our ... -
Rapid evolution of genetic and phenotypic divergence in Atlantic salmon following the colonisation of two new branches of a watercourse
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Selection acts strongly on individuals that colonise a habitat and have phenotypic traits that deviate from the local optima. Our objective was to investigate the evolutionary rates in Atlantic salmon (Salmo ... -
Raptor Interactions with Wind Energy: Case Studies from Around the World
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The global potential for wind power generation is vast, and the number of installations is increasing rapidly. We review case studies from around the world of the effects on raptors of wind-energy development. Collision ... -
Rare, whitish–pale ochre Cortinarius species of sect. Calochroi from calcareous Tilia forests in South East Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Rare, whitish–pale ochre Cortinarius species of sect. Calochroi from calcareous Tilia forests in South East Norway -
Rebuilding green infrastructure in boreal production forest given future global wood demand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Global policy for future biodiversity conservation is ultimately implemented at landscape and local scales. In parallel, green infrastructure planning needs to account for socioeconomic dynamics at national and global ... -
Recent forest on abandoned agricultural land in the boreonemoral zone – Biodiversity of plants and fungi in relation to historical and present tree cover
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Recent forests may be an asset for green infrastructure and ecological restoration, but studies are needed of the variation in forest biodiversity among sites, and possible reasons for observed patterns. In boreonemoral ... -
Recognising institutional context in simulating and generalising exchange values for monetary ecosystem accounts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The paper argues that monetary valuation of ecosystem services for ecosystem accounting needs to be sensitive to institutional context, when simulating markets to generate exchange values where none was available previously ... -
Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ... -

Recommendations on size and position of surgically and gastrically implanted electronic tags in European silver eel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Background: Information on European silver eel Anguilla anguilla anatomy was collected to gain information on limitations on size and placement of electronic tags. Findings: To reduce the eel’s ability to bite its own ... -
Record-low primary productivity and highplant damage in the Nordic Arctic Region in2012 caused by multiple weather events andpest outbreaks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The release of cold temperature constraints on photosynthesis has led to increased productivity (greening) in significant parts (32–39%) of the Arctic, but much of the Arctic shows stable (57–64%) or reduced productivity ...
