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 configuration matters: a test of the habitat amounthypothesis for plants in calcareous grasslands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
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 ... -
Spatial distribution in Norwegian lemming Lemmus lemmus in relation to the phase of the cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Competition between individuals of the same or different species affects spatial distribution of organisms at any given time. Consequently, a species geographical distribution is related to population dynamics through ... -
Spatial genetic structure of the abundant and Widespread Peatmoss Sphagnum magellanicum Brid .

A Spatial Modeling Framework for Monitoring Surveys with Different Sampling Protocols with a Case Study for Bird Abundance in Mid-Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Quantifying the total number of individuals (abundance) of species is the basis for spatial ecology and biodiversity conservation. Abundance data are mostly collected through professional surveys as part of monitoring ... -
Spatial variation in the evolutionary potential and constraints of basal metabolic rate and body mass in a wild bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in natural populations is ... -
Spatial variation in the relationship between performance and metabolic rate in wild juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Spatial variations in winter Hg contamination affect egg volume in an Arctic seabird, the great skua (Stercorarius skua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Knowledge of the ecology and at-sea distribution of migratory species like seabirds has substantially increased over the last two decades. Furthermore, an increasing number of studies have recently focused on chemical ... -
Spatio-temporal dynamics in microalgal communities in Arctic land-fast sea ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Sea ice microalgae are an important source of energy for the polar marine food web, representing the primary carbon source prior to pelagic phytoplankton blooms. Here we investigate community dynamics of sea ice microalgal ... -
Spatio-temporal patterns of crop damage caused by geese, swans and cranes—Implications for crop damage prevention
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)European populations of geese, swans and cranes have increased considerably since the 1970s raising conflictsbetween conservation and farming interests. Crop damage caused by geese, swans and cranes across the nationalscale ... -
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome Transmission Risk in Brazil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Hantavirus disease in humans is rare but frequently lethal in the Neotropics. Several abundant and widely distributed Sigmodontinae rodents are the primary hosts of Orthohantavirus and, in combination with other ...
