Besøksforvaltning i hyttekommuner – spenninger mellom tradisjon og destinasjon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)I artikkelen introduserer og diskuterer vi besøksforvaltning som redskap for hyttekommuner i fjellet. Vi søker å forstå og forklare spenningene som utløste hytteopprøret i Vinje i 2021, gjennom å undersøke hvordan hytteturister ... -
Bias and precision of crowdsourced recreational activity data from Strava
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recreational activity is the single most valuable ecosystem service in many developed countries with a range of benefits for public health. Crowdsourced recreational activity data is increasingly being adopted in management ... -
Bias in estimates of electrofishing capture probability of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We evaluated the effect of the total number of passes used, and the application of block nets, on multi-pass electrofishing removal sampling for estimating juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) abundance and body size ... -
Big-data approaches lead to an increased understanding of the ecology of animal movement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and management have transformed our understanding of ... -
Bigger, more diverse and better? Mapping structural diversity and its recreational value in urban green spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-07)Are bigger green spaces more diverse in terms of their natural and manmade elements? Does higher diversity mean they are more attractive to users and encourage more diversity of activities, and thereby provide a wider range ... -
Biocide Treatment of Invasive Signal Crayfish: Successes, Failures and Lessons Learned
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Signal crayfish, as an invasive alien species in Europe, have caused impacts on aquatic communities and losses of native crayfish. Eradication of recently established populations may be possible in small ponds (<2.5 ha) ... -
Biodiversity conservation in a post-COVID-19 economy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The impacts of the COVID- pandemic extend to global biodiversity and its conservation. Although shortterm beneficial or adverse impacts on biodiversity have been widely discussed, there is less attention to the likely ... -
Biodiversity may wax or wane depending on metrics or taxa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Biodiversity policy beyond economic growth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Increasing evidence—synthesized in this paper—shows that economic growth contributes to biodiversity loss via greater resource consumption and higher emissions. Nonetheless, a review of international biodiversity and ... -
Bioenergetic consequences of warming rivers to adult Atlantic salmon Salmo salar during their spawning migration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Climate change poses a challenge to wild fishes, yet little is known about the behavioural use and metabolic consequences of thermally heterogeneous water encountered by wild salmon during their energetically demanding ... -
Biotic and abiotic determinants of the ascent behaviour of adult Atlantic salmon transiting passable waterfalls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The spawning migration of Atlantic salmon has been characterized by tracking salmon carrying electronic tags as they ascend rivers, but still little is known about how natural obstacles such as waterfalls influence migratory ... -
Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptualmodels across ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as increasing dissimilarity over time. ... -

Bird collisions with power lines: State of the art and priority areas for research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Transmission and distribution electricity grids are expanding rapidly worldwide, with significant negative impacts on biodiversity and, in particular, on birds. We performed a systematic review of the literature available ... -
Bird population declines and species turnover are changing the acoustic properties of spring soundscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Natural sounds, and bird song in particular, play a key role in building and maintaining our connection with nature, but widespread declines in bird populations mean that the acoustic properties of natural soundscapes may ... -
Birds of different feather flock together - genetic structure of Taiga Bean Goose in Central Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During their flightless summer moult, Taiga Bean Geese Anser fabalis fabalis gather at communal moulting sites. Individuals from the Nord-Trøndelag breeding area in Norway have been observed to join with local individuals ... -
Black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix) population status, reasons for decline and potential conservation measures from Western and Central Europe to Fennoscandia: a literature review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The long-term decline of the black grouse population throughout Europe is influenced by many factors that affect populations differently depending on the distribution range, from Central Europe to the Scandinavian countries. ... -
Black-legged kittiwakes as messengers of Atlantification in the Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate warming is rapidly altering marine ecosystems towards a more temperate state on the European side of the Arctic. However, this “Atlantification” has rarely been confirmed, as long-term datasets on Arctic marine ... -

Blue mussels in western Norway have vanished where in reach of crawling predators
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) are declining around the world. In western Norway, they have widely disappeared from rocky shores but still thrive on floating structures. Other refugia are cracks in rocks, exposed sites, and ...
