Body shape and fin size in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): effects of temperature during embryogenesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Temperature during egg incubation and early development influences later life stages of fishes, potentially influencing survival. Throughout its distribution, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) have experienced ... -
‘Bonkers but good!’ – Using illustration-based interview methods to understand land management and conservation visions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Forest biodiversity studies conduct Visions help to understand common ground and tensions among citizens and stakeholders, supporting inclusive land management and conservation solutions to the climate emergency and ... -
Border Security Fencing and Wildlife: The End of the Transboundary Paradigm in Eurasia?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The ongoing refugee crisis in Europe has seen many countries rush to construct border security fencing to divert or control the flow of people. This follows a trend of border fence construction across Eurasia during the ... -
Born to be wild: effects of rearing density and environmental enrichment on stress, welfare, and smolt migration in hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Hatchery-reared salmonids released into the wild generally have poor survivability compared with wild conspecifics. To assess potential hatchery rearing improvements, behavioral and physiological effects of reducing animal ... -
Bottom-up rather than top-down mechanisms determine mesocarnivore interactions in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Interactions among coexisting mesocarnivores can be influenced by different factors such as the presence of large carnivores, land-use, environmental productivity,or human disturbance. Disentangling the relative importance ... -
The breeding ecology of Broad-billed Sandpipers in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The breeding ecology of the Broad-billed Sandpiper Calidris falcinellus was investigated in a long-term study in Finnmark, north Norway during 1993–2019. Nests were mostly located and monitored during the incubation period. ... -
Breeding ecology of Kori Bustard Ardeotis kori strunthiunculus in the Serengeti National Park
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The breeding ecology of the Kori Bustard Ardeotis kori strunthiunculus was studied in the plains of the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania in 2014 and 2015. Random transects were used to search for male courtship displays, ... -
Breeding persistence of Slavonian Grebe (Podiceps auritus) at long-term monitoring sites: predictors of a steep decline at the northern European range limit
(Peer reviewed; Journal article; Journal article, 2015)The Slavonian Grebe (Podiceps auritus) has its European northern range limit in northern Norway, and is a species of national conservation concern due to its small population size and unknown population trend. ... -
Breeding populations of Marbled Godwits and Willets have high annual survival and strong site fidelity to managed wetlands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Prairie Pothole Region of central Canada supports a diverse community of breeding waterbirds, but many species have declining populations and the demographic mechanisms driving the declines remain unknown. We conducted ... -
Breeding stage, not sex, affects foraging characteristics in masked boobies at Rapa Nui
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sexual segregation in foraging occurs in some species and populations of boobies (Sulidae), but it is not a general pattern. Sexual segregation in foraging may occur to avoid competition for food, and this competition may ... -
Breeding status influences timing but not duration of moult in the Northern Fulmar Fulmarus glacialis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Seabirds are key marine top predator species that are often used as indicators of the environmental quality of the oceans. Their breeding phenology has been studied extensively, but their pelagic habits mean less is known ... -

Breeding timed to maximize reproductive success for a migratory songbird: The importance of phenological asynchrony
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Phenological advances and trophic mismatches are frequently reported ecological consequences of climate warming. Trophic mismatches occur when phenological responses to environmental conditions differ among trophic levels ... -
Brood parasitism on Meadow Pipits Anthus pratensis by Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus in two mountain areas in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the period 2001–2014 we studied Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus brood parasitism on Meadow Pipits Anthus pratensis in two mountain areas; one located in the eastern and one in the western part of southern Norway. In the ... -
Bruk av miljø-DNA for deteksjon av arter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Tradisjonell overvåkning av storsalamandere kan ofte være utfordrende da dyrene kan ha lav fangbarhet ved f.eks. lav temperatur og etter forplantning. Overvåkning av mange lokaliteter er svært tidkrevende, og i perioder ... -
Bryocentria hypothallina (Hypocreales) – a new species on Metzgeria furcata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Bryocentria hypothallina (Bionectriaceae, Hypocreales) is described as a new species. It grows necrotrophically on the liverwort Metzgeria furcata (Metzgeriales), causing bleached, insular infections. Ascomata are formed ... -
Building a resilient coexistence with wildlife in a more crowded world
(Journal article, 2023)There is an urgent need to sustainably coexist with wildlife. However, realizing this goal is hampered by scant understanding of the processes that facilitate and maintain coexistence. Here, we synthesize human–wildlife ... -
