Disentangling the roles of plant functional diversity and plaint traits in regulating plant nitrogen accumulation and denitrification in freshwaters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. There is a growing recognition that functional measures of diversity, based on quantification of functionally important species traits, are useful for explaining variation in ecosystem processes. However, the mechanisms ... -
Dispersal patterns of a recovering brown bear (Ursus arctos) population in a human-dominated landscape

Diverging phenological responses of Arctic seabirds to an earlier spring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The timing of annual events such as reproduction is a critical component of how free‐living organisms respond to ongoing climate change. This may be especially true in the Arctic, which is disproportionally impacted by ... -
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Twenty-fve years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being, addressing the global biodiversity crisis still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values ... -
DNA double-strand breaks in relation to persistent organic pollutants in a fasting seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Lipophilic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are released from fat reserves during fasting, causing increased blood concentrations. Thus, POPs represent a potential anthropogenic stressor during fasting periods. We ... -
DNA Metabarcoding of Preservative Ethanol Reveals Changes in Invertebrate Community Composition Following Rotenone Treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The botanical compound rotenone is extensively used to eradicate populations and reduce the negative impacts of freshwater invasive animals. The method is controversial as non target organisms often are negatively affected, ... -
DNA metabarcoding reveals diet overlap between the endangered walia ibex and domestic goats - implications for conservation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Human population expansion and associated degradation of the habitat of many wildlife species cause loss of biodiversity and species extinctions. The small Simen Mountains National Park in Ethiopia is one of the last ... -
