Assessing the usefulness of citizen science data for habitat suitability modelling: Opportunistic reporting versus sampling based on a systematic protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim: To evaluate the potential of models based on opportunistic reporting (OR) compared to models based on data from a systematic protocol (SP) for modelling species distributions. We compared model performance for eight ... -
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ... -
At which spatial and temporal scales can fungi indicate habitat connectivity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Isolation of habitats in space and time affects species globally and in a multitude of ecosystems. It is however often difficult to assess the level of isolation from the point of view of the focal species. Indicator species ... -
Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica fishing in a freshwater lake to feed its chick
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present details for the observation of an adult Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica collecting food in Lake Linnévatnet (78°02’N 13°48’E), the second largest freshwater lake in the Svalbard archipelago, on 11 August 2020. ... -
Atlantic salmon in a rapidly changing environment—Facing the challenges of reduced marine survival and climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Atlantic salmon populations have declined in recent decades. Many of the threats to the species during its freshwater and coastal residency periods are known, and management approaches are available to mitigate them. ... -
Automatic flower detection and phenology monitoring using time-lapse cameras and deep learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The advancement of spring is a widespread biological response to climate change observed across taxa and biomes. However, the species level responses to warming are complex and the underlying mechanisms are difficult to ... -
Beetles provide directed dispersal of viable spores of a keystone wood decay fungus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wood decay fungi are considered to be dispersed by wind, but dispersal by animals may also be important, and more so in managed forests where dead wood is scarce. We investigated whether beetles could disperse spores of ... -
Behavioral responses of terrestrial mammals to COVID-19 lockdowns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we compared movements and road avoidance of ... -
Behaviour and mortality of downstream migrating Atlantic salmon smolts at a small power station with multiple migration routes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Salmon smolts were released upstream of a run‐of‐river hydropower site and recaptured downstream for inspection. Descending fish behaviour through three possible migration routes (turbines, fishway, spillway) was analysed ... -
Behaviour and survival of wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar captured and released while surveillance angling for escaped farmed salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In many Norwegian rivers, spawning stocks are surveyed for escaped farmed salmon with surveillance fishing by rod and reel after the recreational angling season. However, the benefits of surveillance fishing depend on the ... -
Behaviour of anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a hydropower regulated freshwater system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Many Norwegian rivers and lakes are regulated for hydropower, which afects freshwater ecosystems and anadromous fish species, such as sea trout (Salmo trutta). Lakes are an important feature of many anadromous river systems. ... -
Behavioural and demographic changes in impala populations after 15 years of improved conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many protected areas (PAs) have been created globally in response to the dramatic human- induced decline in biodiversity. However, not all PAs successfully preserve their biodiversity and continued monitoring is vital to ... -
Being stressed outside the park — conservation of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The conservation of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is of prime importance for many African countries. Interactions between elephants and humans are known to induce stress and thereby have the potential ... -
Bending the curve: Operationalizing national Red Lists to customize conservation actions to reduce extinction risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Human activity is accelerating biodiversity loss despite international commitments to prevent extinction and habitat degradation. To bend the curve, international goals must be translated into national targets and actions. ... -
Benefits of protected areas for nonbreeding waterbirds adjusting their distributions under climate warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species show a so-called climatic debt, where shifts in range have lagged behind faster shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside ... -
Berry production drives bottom – up effects on body mass and reproductive success in an omnivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Obligate herbivores dominate studies of the eff ects of climate change on mammals, however there is limited empirical evidence for how changes in the abundance or quality of plant food aff ect mammalian omnivores. Omnivores ... -
Best practice—Is natural revegetation sufficient to achieve mitigation goals in road construction?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aims: The area influenced by road construction is large, and measures to re-establish vegetation in disturbed areas are routinely carried out to reduce impacts on biodiversity. However, goals of mitigation measures are ... -
Bias in estimates of electrofishing capture probability of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We evaluated the effect of the total number of passes used, and the application of block nets, on multi-pass electrofishing removal sampling for estimating juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) abundance and body size ... -
Big-data approaches lead to an increased understanding of the ecology of animal movement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and management have transformed our understanding of ... -
Biocide Treatment of Invasive Signal Crayfish: Successes, Failures and Lessons Learned
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Signal crayfish, as an invasive alien species in Europe, have caused impacts on aquatic communities and losses of native crayfish. Eradication of recently established populations may be possible in small ponds (<2.5 ha) ...
