Relating national levels of crop damage to the abundance of large grazing birds: Implications for management
(Journal article, 2020)1. Populations of large grazing birds have increased in Europe during the past five decades, raising conflicts between conservation and farming interests. Managing these conflicts requires knowledge about the currently ... -
Relationship between marine growth and sea survival of two anadromous salmonid fish species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study found empirical evidence supporting the “growth–survival” paradigm in the marine phase of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta). The paradigm postulates that larger or faster-growing ... -
Relationships between isotopic ratios, body condition and breeding success in a High Arctic seabird community
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Predators such as seabirds are often used as bio-indicators of the marine environment. This is based on the assumption that changes in seabird populations are driven by changes in their prey. We tested this assumption in ... -
Relic DNA confounds the results of DNA-based study on microeukaryotic succession in aquatic biofilms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized the DNA sequence-based study of microbial community and diversity on an unprecedented scale. Relic DNA is widespread in the natural aquatic environment; however, the extent to ... -
Repeatable individual variation in migration timing in two anadromous salmonids and ecological consequences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Consistent individual differences in behavior have been demonstrated for many animals, but there are few studies of consequences of such repeated behavior in the wild. We tested consistency in migration timing to and from ... -
Reproduction as a bottleneck to treeline advance across the circumarctic forest tundra ecotone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The fundamental niche of many species is shifting with climate change, especially in sub-arctic ecosystems with pronounced recent warming. Ongoing warming in sub-arctic regions should lessen environmental constraints on ... -
Reproductive success in the European shag is linked to annual variation in diet and foraging trip metrics
(Journal article, 2019)Seabird populations have declined worldwide, and several of the potential threats are of anthropogenic origin. To understand how changes in seabird populations relate to environmental conditions it is important to know the ... -
Research challenges for cultural ecosystem services and public health in (peri-)urban environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Urbanization is a global trend, and consequently the quality of urban environments is increasingly important for human health and wellbeing. Urban life-style is typically associated with low physical activity and sometimes ... -
Resilience of small-scale societies: a view from drylands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To gain insights on long-term social-ecological resilience, we examined adaptive responses of small-scale societies to dryland-related hazards in different regions and chronological periods, spanning from the mid-Holocene ... -
Resistance of a sub-arctic bird community to severe forest damage caused by geometrid moth outbreaks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Outbreaks by geometrid moths periodically cause mass mortality of trees and state changes in understorey vegetation in sub-arctic mountain birch forest in northern Scandinavia. In order to assess the short-term impacts of ... -
Resolving environmental effects of wind energy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Concerns for potential wildlife impacts resulting from land-based and offshore wind energy have created challenges for wind project development. Research is not always adequately supported, results are neither always readily ... -
Resource utilization by the Kori bustard in the Serengeti ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This study aimed to understand the movement behaviour and utilization distributions of Kori bustards in space and time in the Serengeti ecosystem. A total of 14 individuals were tracked with the aid of GPS (Geographical ... -
Resources and predation: drivers of sociality in a cyclic mesopredator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In socially fexible species, the tendency to live in groups is expected to vary through a trade-of between costs and benefts, determined by ecological conditions. The Resource Dispersion Hypothesis predicts that group size ... -
Respiratory virus detection and clinical diagnosis in children attending day care

Responses of the hyper-diverse community of canopy-dwelling Hymenoptera to oak decline
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Forest decline and dieback are growing phenomena worldwide, resulting in severe,large-scale degradation of the canopy. This can profoundly alter the provision oftrophic resources and microhabitats for canopy-dwelling ... -
Restoration of transborder connectivity for Fennoscandian brown bears (Ursus arctos)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Knowledge about the connectivity among natural populations is essential to identify management units for effective conservation actions. Conservation-minded management has led to the recovery of large carnivore populations ... -
Resurrection and redescription of Varestrongylus alces (Nematoda; Protostrongylidae), a lungworm of the Eurasian moose (Alces alces), with report on associated pathology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Varestrongylus alces, a lungworm in Eurasian moose from Europe has been considered a junior synonym of Varestrongylus capreoli, in European roe deer, due to a poorly detailed morphological description and the absence of ... -
Rethinking work for a just and sustainable future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Except for sleep, humans spend more of their lifetimes on work than on any other activity. Many people take for granted the centrality of work in society, conceiving the prevailing 40 h workweeks in high-income countries ... -
Retrospective growth analysis of the dwarf shrub Cassiope tetragona allows local estimation of vascular plant productivity in high arctic Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Question: Vascular plant productivity of arctic tundra has often been viewed as varying little between years and thus being largely insensitive to the high inter-annual variation in summer weather conditions. Yet, ... -
A retrospective investigation of feather corticosterone in a highly contaminated white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as organochlorines (OCs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), is associated with adverse health effects in wildlife. Many POPs have been banned and conse ...
