Temporal variation in circulating concentrations of organochlorine pollutants in a pelagic seabird breeding in the high arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The present study explored short-term temporal variations in circulating concentrations of 3 legacy organochlorines with different physicochemical properties (polychlorinated biphenyl 153 [PCB-153], p,p0-dichlorodiphenyl ... -
Temporal variation in trophic relationships among three congeneric penguin species breeding in sympatry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Penguins are a monophyletic group in which many species are found breeding sympatrically, raising questions regarding how these species coexist successfully. Here, the isotopic niche of three sympatric pygoscelid penguin ... -
Territory location and quality, together with climate, affect the timing of breeding in the whitethroated dipper
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent climate change has led to advanced spring phenology in many temperate regions. The phenological response to variation in the local environment, such as the habitat characteristics of the territories birds occupy, ... -
A test of local adaptation to drought in germination and seedling traits in populations of two alpine forbs across a 2000 mm/year precipitation gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Seed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to drought ... -
Testing av metoder for påvisning av mikro- og makroplast i vannprøver og ferskvannbiota
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Kunnskap om mikroplast (plastfragmenter <5 mm) i ferskvann og ferskvannsbiota er begrenset da det meste av fokuset på denne tematikken har vært for det marine miljøet. I dette studiet presenterer vi flere enkle og godt ... -
The beat of the mountain: a transdisciplinary rhythmanalysis of temporal landscapes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This article discusses how studying rhythms can help us better understand and manage spatiotemporal tensions in social-ecological landscapes, highlighting the potential of rhythmanalysis as a tool for crossing scientific ... -
The Brown bear as a translational model for sedentary lifestyle-related diseases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Sedentary lifestyle accelerates biological ageing, is a major risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome and is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, sarcopenia and osteoporosis. ... -
The cost of anadromy: marine and freshwater mortality rates in anadromous Arctic char and brown trout in the Arctic region of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)It is hypothesized that in diadromous fish, migrations may occur because of differences in the availability of food in marine and freshwater habitats. The benefits of migration to sea may be increased growth opportunities ... -
The cost of migratory prey: seasonal changes in semi-domesticreindeer distribution influences breeding success of Eurasian lynx in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Migratory prey is a widespread phenomenon that has implications for predator – prey interactions. By creating large temporal variation in resource availability between seasons it becomes challenging for carnivores to ... -
The devil is in the detail: non-additive and context-dependent plant population responses to increasing temperature and precipitation. Plant demography in a warmer & wetter climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In climate‐change ecology, simplistic research approaches may yield unrealistically simplistic answers to often more complicated problems. In particular, the complexity of vegetation responses to global climate change begs ... -
The diel vertical migration patterns and individual swimming behavior of overwintering sprat Sprattus sprattus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Sprat DVM Dusk and dawn Hypoxia Diving behavior Nocturnal behavior Swimming speed -
The economy of selective cutting in recent mixed stands during restoration of temperate deciduous forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Forest cover is increasing in many regions due to spontaneous reforestation on abandoned pastures and fields. The resulting recent forests may need management to improve ecosystem quality, and this could possibly be combined ... -
The effect of catch-and-release angling at high water temperatures on behaviour and survival of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar during spawning migration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In this study, behaviour and survival following catch-and-release (C&R) angling was investigated in wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (n = 75) angled on sport fishing gear in the River Otra in southern Norway at water ... -
The effects of hydrodynamics on the three-dimensional downstream migratory movement of Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Anthropogenic structures in rivers are major threats for fish migration and effective mitigation is imperative given the worldwide expansion of such structures. Fish behaviour is strongly influenced by hydrodynamics, but ... -

The genus Recilia Edwards, 1922 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) confirmed from Northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)There have been some uncertainties concerning the presence of Recilia coronifer (Marshall, 1866) in Northern Europe. The species was reported from Denmark in 1992, but the whereabouts of the specimens have been uncertain. ... -
The influence of weather conditions during gestation on life histories in a wild Arctic ungulate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The internal predictive adaptive response (internal PAR) hypothesis predicts that individuals born in poor conditions should start to reproduce earlier if they are likely to have reduced performance in later life. However, ... -
The interplay of climate and land use change affects the distribution of EU bumblebees

The leopard that learnt from the cat and other narratives of carnivore–human coexistence in northern India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1. This study explores the diversity of factors that influence human–leopard relationships in Himachal Pradesh, India. Looking beyond the socio‐economic and ecological dimensions of human–leopard conflict, it documents ... -
