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 ... -
The recovery of crustacean zooplankton from acidification depends on lake type
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Acidification has harmed freshwater ecosystems in Northern Europe since the early 1900s. Stricter regulations aimed at decreasing acidic emissions have improved surface-water chemistry since the late 1980s but the recovery ... -
The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)wing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1 . Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have ... -
Recovery of vegetation on former alpine roads: how long does it take?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Alpine areas worldwide are under heavy land-use pressure and degradation. Active restoration treatments can contribute to accelerating recovery of degraded areas. However, monitoring data are needed to understand the ... -
Recovery of young brown trout (Salmo trutta) in acidified streams: What are the critical values for acid-neutralizing capacity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The recovery of young allopatric brown trout (Salmo trutta) grouped into YoY (age 0þ) and older parr (age 1þ) fish, was studied in acid-sensitive streams in a Norwegian watershed during a 24-year-period (1987e2010). ... -
Recovery or reorganisation? Long‑term increases in riverine taxonomic and functional diversity are confounded by compositional dynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)When evaluating biological recovery, shifts in species identity such as non-native status, specialisation, and functional traits should be examined alongside changes in species richness. Lithuania, an ecologically overlooked ... -
Recreational anglers in Norway report widespread dislike of invasive pink salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pink salmon have returned to Norwegian rivers at high abundance in recent odd-numbered years (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023), presenting potential threats to native biodiversity and ecosystem services, including major sport fishing ... -
Red deer grazing pressure on agricultural grass meadows from broad to local scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Grazing by wildlife on agricultural land is widespread across geographical regions, and can cause human–wildlife conflicts due to reduced crop yield when the grazing pressure is high. Growing red deer (Cervus elaphus) ... -
Redefining the oceanic distribution of Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Determining the mechanisms driving range-wide reductions in Atlantic salmon marine survival is hindered by an insufcient understanding of their oceanic ecology and distribution. We attached 204 pop-up satellite archival ... -
Redescription and taxonomic notes on Cyclops bohater Koźmiński, 1933 and Cyclops lacustris G.O. Sars, 1863 (Arthropoda, Crustacea), with an identification key to the Cyclops species of Fenno-Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The studies of Cyclops O.F. Müller, 1776 have more than two centuries of tradition in Fenno- Scandinavia, yet, basic taxonomic questions remain unresolved and the limits of the distributional area are very poorly understood ... -
Refrigeration or anti-theft? Food-caching behavior of Wolverines (Gulo gulo) in Scandinavia
(Journal article, 2020)Food-caching animals can gain nutritional advantages by buffering seasonality in food availability, especially during times of scarcity. The wolverine (Gulo gulo) is a facultative predator that occupies environments of low ... -
Regional Diversity of Maritime Antarctic Soil Fungi and Predicted Responses of Guilds and Growth Forms to Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We report a metabarcoding study documenting the fungal taxa in 29 barren fellfield soils sampled from along a 1,650 km transect encompassing almost the entire maritime Antarctic (60–72°S) and the environmental factors ... -
Regional impacts of warming on biodiversity and biomass in high latitude stream ecosystems across the Northern Hemisphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Warming can have profound impacts on ecological communities. However, explorations of how differences in biogeography and productivity might reshape the effect of warming have been limited to theoretical or proxy-based ... -
Reindeer behavioural ecology and use of pastures in pastoral livelihoods
(Chapter, 2022)Reindeer pastoralists have, for centuries, followed free-roaming animals throughout the Eurasian Arctic. The closing of national borders about a century ago forced the reindeer pastoralists to adapt to new conditions. ... -
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 ...
