Urban resilience through green infrastructure: A framework for policy analysis applied to Madrid, Spain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Urban resilience and how to assess it have become main policy objectives in the face of accelerated climate and other global environmental change. We develop a conceptual framework and an assessment tool to analyse how ... -
Use of environmental DNA to detect the myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in large Norwegian lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding the underlying causes behind human–elephant conflict (HEC)-driven mortality of humans and Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an increasingly used noninvasive and cost-effective method for species detections in ... -
Use of simulation approaches to evaluate the consequences of catch-and-release angling on the migration behaviour of adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Given most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) released by anglers survive (proportion = 0.97 in this study), eco-nomically and culturally important recreational Atlantic salmon fisheries are increasingly incorporatingcatch-and-release. ... -
Use of Supplementary Feeding Dispensers by Arctic Foxes in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Supplementary feeding is often used as a conservation tool to reverse the decline of food‐limited populations. The arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is one of the most endangered mammals in Norway and has been the target of ... -
Using by-catch data from wildlife surveys to quantify climatic parameters and the timing of phenology for plants and animals using camera traps
(Journal article, 2019)Gaining a better understanding of global environmental change is an important challenge for conserving biodiversity. Shifts in phenology are an important consequence of environmental change. Measuring phenology of different ... -
Using genomics to guide seed-sourcing at the right taxonomical level for ecological restoration projects: The complex case of Carex bigelowii s.lat. in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is a growing demand for ecological restoration using suitable seeds following international standards or national legal demands for local seed-sourcing. However, before selecting the appropriate geographic origin of ... -
Using natural marks to estimate free-ranging dog Canis familiaris abundance in a MARK-RESIGHT framework in suburban Mumbai, India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Free-ranging dogs (Canis familiaris) are a major conservation issue in the tropics and adopt many ecological roles, alternatively functioning as predators, prey, or competitors of wildlife in diverse environments. Dogs are ... -
Using ordinary digital cameras in place of near-infrared sensors to derive vegetation indices for phenology studies of high arctic vegetation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To remotely monitor vegetation at temporal and spatial resolutions unobtainable with satellite-based systems, near remote sensing systems must be employed. To this extent we used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index ... -
Using partial aggregation in spatial capture recapture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Using qPCR to Identify Potential Effects of Thermal Conditions during Embryogenesis on Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number in Juvenile Brown Trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Changes in the number, structure, and function of mitochondria during the early life stages of animals can play an important role for an organism’s metabolic rate, growth, and health. Previous studies have shown that ... -
Using scale-derived estimates of body size in analyses of Atlantic salmon life-history variation: a cautionary note
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Measurements of individual body length at different life stages are critical in understanding fish ecology and evolution. Such data can be obtained via back-calculation from measurements of fish scales or by using the size ... -
Using short-term monitoring data to achieve goals in a large-scale restoration
(Peer reviewed, 2013)To evaluate the outcome of restoration projects, an overall goal, reformulated to specific subgoals or targets, must be explicit and translated into scientifically measurable ecological attributes. Monitoring ecological ... -
Utilizing LiDAR data to map tree canopy for urban ecosystem extent and condition accounts in Oslo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)LiDAR-based segmentation of urban tree canopies and their physical properties (canopy height, canopy diameter, 3D surface and volume) is a replicable, complementary and useful information source for urban ecosystem condition ... -
Value asymmetries in Norwegian forest governance: The role of institutions and power dynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We draw on institutional and ecological economics to understand the role of social preferences, institutional arrangements, and power dynamics in mobilizing or restraining ecosystem services and values in Norwegian forest ... -
Values, Beliefs, Norms, and Conservation-Oriented Behaviors toward Native Fish Biodiversity in Rivers: Evidence from Four European Countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Riverine biodiversity in Europe is under threat from a range of anthropogenic factors. Key to effective biodiversity conservation is the public’s willingness to support restoration efforts. Based on value-belief-norm (VBN) ... -
Valuing access to urban greenspace using non-linear distance decay in hedonic property pricing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Modelling walking distance enables the observation of non-linearities in hedonic property pricing of accessibility to greenspace. We test a penalized spline spatial error model (PS-SEM), which has two distinctive features. ... -
Varegrinder foran turbininntak ved elvekraftverk; barrierer eller inngangsport for fisk?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Trash racks at hydropower turbine intakes; barriers or entry gates for fish? At all run-ofriver hydro power plants, water is diverted through turbines for power generation. Trash racks protect the turbines from harmful ... -
Variability in nomadism: environmental gradients modulate the movement behaviors of dryland ungulates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Studying nomadic animal movement across species and ecosystems is essential for better understanding variability in nomadism. In arid environments, unpredictable changes in water and forage resources are known drivers of ... -
Variation and correlation in the timing of breeding of North Atlantic seabirds across multiple scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Timing of breeding, an important driver of fitness in many populations, is widely studied in the context of global change, yet despite considerable efforts to identify environmental drivers of seabird nesting phenology, ... -
Variation in albedo and other vegetation characteristics in non-forested northern ecosystems: the role of lichens and mosses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vegetation has a profound impact on climate through complex interactions and feedback loops, where especially regulation of albedo, the ratio of reflected to incoming solar radiation, is important at high latitudes. How ...
