The risks of learning: confounding detection anddemographic trend when using count-based indices forpopulation monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Theory recognizes that a treatment of the detection process is required to avoid producing biased estimates of population rate of change. Still, one of three monitoring programmes on animal or plant populations is focused ... -
The role of a dominant predator in shapingbiodiversity over space and time in a marineecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)1. Exploitation of living marine resources has resulted in major changes to populations of targeted species and functional groups of large-bodied species in the ocean. However, the effects of overfishing and collapse of ... -
The role of urban green spaces in care facilities for elderly people across European cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Urban green spaces (UGS) are increasingly acknowledged for their importance for the well-being of urban populations. However, studies are lacking the consideration of the demand and use of UGS by different population groups ... -
The role of wild reindeer as a flagship species in new management models in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Wild reindeer are under pressure from human development projects throughout their habitat. Norway is currently making a significant move to establish a new management model based on national reindeer regions and regional ... -
The science, policy and practice of nature-based solutions: An interdisciplinary perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this paper, we reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of the recently introduced concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), with a focus on the European context. First, we analyse NBS in relation to ... -
The spatio-temporal distribution of wild and domestic ungulates modulates lynx kill rates in a multi-use landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Depredation on livestock and competition with hunters for game species are prominent among the conflicts that the return of large carnivores generates in multi-use landscapes. The relative magnitude of the conflict strongly ... -
The stress of being contaminated? Adrenocortical function and reproduction in relation to persistent organic pollutants in female black legged kittiwakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)High levels of environmental pollutants such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including PCB and DDT have been found in the Arctic and many of those pollutants may impair reproduction through endocrine disruption. ... -
The taxonomy, life cycle and pathology of sarcoptes scabiei and notoedres cati (Acarina, sarcoptidae): A review in a fennoscandian wildlife perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Kraabøl M, Gundersen V, Fangel K, Olstad K. 2015. The taxonomy, life cycle and pathology of Sarcoptes scabiei and Notoedres cati (Acarina, Sarcoptidae): A review in a Fennoscandian wildlife perspective. Fauna norvegica ... -
The use of external electronic tags on fish: an evaluation of tag retention and tagging effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)External tagging of fish with electronic tags has been used for decades for a wide range of marine and freshwater species. In the early years of fish telemetry research, it was the most commonly used attachment method, ... -
The use of mosses in biomonitoring of selected areas in Poland and Spitsbergen in the years from 1975 to 2014
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)We have compared historical changes in concentrations of the heavy metals Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb accumulated in samples from the Polish woodlands of Beskidy and Karkonosze (S, SE Poland) and the north-east regions of ... -
There is more to climate than the North Atlantic Oscillation: a new perspective from climate dynamics to explain the variability in population growth rates of a long-lived seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Predicting the impact of global climate change on the biosphere has become one of the most important efforts in ecology. Ecosystems worldwide are changing rapidly as a consequence of global warming, yet our understanding ... -
Thermal conditions during embryogenesis influence metabolic rates of juvenile brown trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The projected climate change and increase in thermal conditions in northern latitudes over the next 60 yr has the potential to alter the metabolic scope and potential fitness of aquatic ectotherms. Here, we experimentally ... -
Thermal Effects on Ecological Traits of Salmonids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Here, I review thermal influences on metabolic rates and aerobic scope; growth; adult body size; and reproductive and behavioural traits, such as tendency and timing of the migration of salmonid fishes. A thermal window ... -
Thiamin dynamics during the adult life cycle of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Thiamin is an essential water-soluble B vitamin known for its wide range of metabolic functions and antioxidant properties. Over the past decades, reproductive failures induced by thiamin deficiency have been observed in ... -
Thick‑billed Murres in breeding pairs migrate and overwinter far apart but in similar photic environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Scheduling between mates in species with long-term pair bonds can be essential for positive fitness. The annual cycle in photoperiod is the primary environmental cue used by many animals to synchronize behavior and physiology ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)During a workshop with invited international experts, we found 30 pyrenomycetoid ascomycete species new to Norway, whereof 16 new to Scandinavia and one new to Europe. These are presented here with short notes on their ... -
The thorny path toward greening: unintended consequences, trade-offs, and constraints in green and blue infrastructure planning, implementation, and management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021). Urban green and blue space interventions may bring about unintended consequences, involving trade-offs between the different land uses, and indeed, between the needs of different urban inhabitants, land users, and owners. ... -
The threat of free-ranging domestic dog to native wildlife: implication for conservation in Southeast Asia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The global population of domestic dogs is estimated at 900 million, making them the world’s most abundant carnivore. Southeast Asia is considered extremely vulnerable to wildlife declines linked to free-ranging dogs, yet ... -
