Long-term increase in female body condition and its effect on reproduction in two European red-listed species, Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Body condition of breeding females is an important driver of an individual’s fitness and the consequent dynamics of populations. Long-term changes in female body condition are likely to be affected by recent shifts in ... -
Low impact of dry conditions on the CO2 exchange of aNorthern-Norwegian blanket bog.
(Peer reviewed; Journal Article, 2015)Northern peatlands hold large amounts of organic carbon (C) in their soils and are as such important in a climate change context. Blanket bogs, i.e. nutrient-poor peatlands restricted to maritime climates, may be extra ... -
Monitoring climate sensitivity shifts in tree-rings of Eastern Boreal North America using model-data comparison. Shifts in tree growth sensivity to climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The growth of high-latitude temperature-limited boreal forest ecosystems is projected to become more constrained by soil water availability with continued warming. The purpose of this study was to document ongoing shifts ... -
Monitoring Winter Stress Vulnerability of High-Latitude Understory Vegetation Using Intraspecific Trait Variability and Remote Sensing Approaches
(Journal article, 2020)In this study, we focused on three species that have proven to be vulnerable to winter stress: Empetrum nigrum, Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Hylocomium splendens. Our objective was to determine plant traits suitable for ... -
Multiple recolonization routes towards the north: Population history of the Fennoscandian red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Understanding the response of boreal species to past climate warming can help to predict future responses to climate change. In the Northern Hemisphere, the distribution and abundance of northern populations have been ... -
A natural antipredation experiment: predator control and reduced sea ice increases colony size in a long-lived duck
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced ... -
Natural forest regeneration on anthropized landscapes could overcome climate change effects on the endangered maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus, Illiger 1811)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change and habitat loss have been identified as the main causes of species extinction. Forest regeneration and protected areas are essential to buffer climate change impacts and to ensure quality habitats for ... -
Persistent reduction of segment growth and photosynthesis in a widespread and important sub-Arctic moss species after cessation of three years of experimental winter warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Winter is a period of dormancy for plants of cold environments. However, winter climate is changing, leading to an increasing frequency of stochastic warm periods (winter warming events) and concomitant reductions in ... -
Plastic Population Effects and Conservative Leaf Traits in a Reciprocal Transplant Experiment Simulating Climate Warming in the Himalayas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate warming poses considerable challenges for alpine plant species, especially for competitively inferior ones with resource-conservative adaptations to cold climates. The Himalayas are warming at rates considerably ... -
Reproduction as a bottleneck to treeline advance across the circumarctic forest tundra ecotone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The fundamental niche of many species is shifting with climate change, especially in sub-arctic ecosystems with pronounced recent warming. Ongoing warming in sub-arctic regions should lessen environmental constraints on ... -
Resilience of small-scale societies: a view from drylands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To gain insights on long-term social-ecological resilience, we examined adaptive responses of small-scale societies to dryland-related hazards in different regions and chronological periods, spanning from the mid-Holocene ... -
Sensitivity to environmental change of the treeline ecotone and its associated biodiversity in European mountains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Transition zones between mountain forests and treeless tundra, i.e. treeline ecotones, are characterized by great regional variety. In this paper, we discuss the biodiversity in various trophic levels in treeline ecotones ... -
Snow season variability in a boreal-Arctic transition area monitored by MODIS data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The duration and extent of snow cover is expected to change rapidly with climate change. Therefore, there is a need for improved monitoring of snow for the benefit of forecasting, impact assessments and the population ... -
Temporal changes in the relative abundance of anadromous Arctic charr, brown trout, and Atlantic salmon in northern Europe: Do they reflect changing climates?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Warming temperatures resulting from climate change may alter the distribution and abundance of many freshwater fish species, especially those in northern latitudes. Owing to interspecific differences in temperature ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Three decades of environmental change studies at alpine Finse, Norway: climate trends and responses across ecological scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) was established to understand how environmental change impacts Arctic and alpine ecosystems. The success of the ITEX-network has allowed for several important across-site ... -
Toward a decade of ocean science for sustainable development through acoustic animal tracking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The ocean is a key component of the Earth's dynamics, providing a great variety of ecosystem services to humans. Yet, human activities are globally changing its structure and major components, including marine biodiversity. ... -
