Short‑lived species move uphill faster under climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is pushing species ranges and abundances towards the poles and mountain tops. Although many studies have documented local altitudinal shifts, knowledge of general patterns at a large spatial scale, such as ... -

Show Me Your Rump Hair and I Will Tell You What You Ate – The Dietary History of Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) Revealed by Sequential Stable Isotope Analysis of Guard Hairs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The nutritional state of animals is tightly linked to the ambient environment, and for northern ungulates the state strongly influences vital population demographics, such as pregnancy rates. Continuously growing tissues, ... -
Silvicultural regime shapes understory functional structure in European forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Managing forests to sustain their diversity and functioning is a major challenge in a changing world. Despite the key role of understory vegetation in driving forest biodiversity, regeneration and functioning, few studies ... -
Simple Principles for Guiding of Large-Scale Landscape Restorations
(Journal article, 2023)Restoration projects are complex and especially upscaling of restoration represent challenges that must be solved in a multidisciplinary setting. To establish cooperation between the wide range of professions there is a ... -
Small larvae in large rivers: observations on downstream movement of European grayling Thymallus thymallus during early life stages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Behaviour of early life stages of the salmonid European grayling Thymallus thymallus was investigated by assessing the timing of larval downstream movement from spawning areas, the depth at which larvae moved and the ... -
Smaller saami herding groups cooperate more in a public goods experiment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Group living often entails a balance between individual selfinterest and benefits to the group as a whole. Situations in which an individual’s vested interests conflict with collective interests are known as social ... -
Smartphone and tablet effects in contingent valuation web surveys – No reason to worry?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Stated preference (SP) web surveys are increasingly completed on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets instead of computers. Due to differences in technical attributes and response contexts of the devices, this ... -
Snow season variability in a boreal-Arctic transition area monitored by MODIS data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The duration and extent of snow cover is expected to change rapidly with climate change. Therefore, there is a need for improved monitoring of snow for the benefit of forecasting, impact assessments and the population ... -
Snowmobile noise alters bird vocalization patterns during winter and pre-breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Noise pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide, disrupting animal communication and causing cascading effects on biodiversity. In this study, we focus on the impact of snowmobile noise on avian vocalizations ... -
SNP discovery in the northern dragonhead Dracocephalum ruyschiana
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The northern dragonhead Dracocephalum ruyschiana is a plant species experiencing a dramatic population decline that has led to the species being listed on Red Lists for species in many European countries. Here we used ... -
Societal implications of a changing Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Arctic Ocean is undergoing rapid change: sea ice is being lost, waters are warming, coastlines are eroding, species are moving into new areas, and more. This paper explores the many ways that a changing Arctic Ocean ... -
Sociodemographic factors modulate the spatial response of brown bears to vacancies created by hunting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. There is a growing recognition of the importance of indirect effects from hunting on wildlife populations, e.g., social and behavioral changes due to harvest, which occur after the initial offtake. Nonetheless, little ... -
Some interesting lichenized fungi from old Fraxinus excelsior and Ulmus glabra in Norway, including four new country records
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)A survey of lichenized and non-lichenized fungi, and bryophytes on old Ulmus glabra and Fraxinus excelsior trees in Norway was undertaken during 2012–2014. In total, 690 (400 elm, 290 ash) trees at 65 sites were surveyed ... -
Sooner, closer, or longer: detectability of mesocarnivores at camera traps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Camera trapping, paired with analytical methods for estimating species occurrence, population size or density, can yield information with direct consequences for wildlife management and conservation. Detectability, the ... -
Soundscapes predict species occurrence in tropical forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Accurate occurrence data is necessary for the conservation of keystone or endangered species, but acquiring it is usually slow, laborious and costly. Automated acoustic monitoring offers a scalable alternative to manual ... -
Sowing resilience and contestation in times of crises: the case of urban gardening movements in Barcelona
(Journal article, 2015)Urban gardens have been observed to multiply in response to crises. However, the meaning and motivations behind the emergence of gardening movements varies greatly over space and time. In this paper we argue that bottom ... -
Spatial alternatives for Green Infrastructure planning across the EU: An ecosystem service perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Target 2 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 aims at the deployment of Green Infrastructure (GI) and the restoration of at least 15% of degraded ecosystems. We assess different alternatives for the spatial planning of ... -

Spatial consistency in drivers of population dynamics of a declining migratory bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Many migratory species are in decline across their geographical ranges. Single-population studies can provide important insights into drivers at a local scale, but effective conservation requires multi-population ...
