Demonstrating the practical impact of studies on biotic interactions and adaptation of a threatened unionoid mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) to its host fish (Salmo trutta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)conservation evaluation, fish, invertebrates, stream -
Density independent use of shallow riverine areas in juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Habitat use of aquatic organisms is essential to evaluate effects of many environmental challenges like effects of hydro-power regulation, where stranding may occur under hydropeaking (rapid dewatering of shallow river ... -
Density of Wild Prey Modulates Lynx Kill Rates on Free-Ranging Domestic Sheep
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Understanding the factors shaping the dynamics of carnivore–livestock conflicts is vital to facilitate large carnivore conservation in multi-use landscapes. We investigated how the density of their main wild prey, roe deer ... -
Density-dependent selection and the maintenance of colour polymorphism in barn owls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The capacity of natural selection to generate adaptive changes is (according to the fundamental theorem of natural selection) proportional to the additive genetic variance in fitness. In spite of its importance for development ... -
Designing a surveillance program for early detection of alien plants and insects in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Naturalized species of alien plants and animals comprise < 3% of biodiversity recorded in Norway but have had major impacts on natural ecosystems through displacement of native species. Encroachment of alien species has ... -
Determinants of grassland primary productionin seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is ... -
Development and testing of attachment methods for pop-up satellite archival transmitters in European eel
(Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Four methods for attaching pop-up satellite transmitters to European eel were tested in the laboratory by recording long-term tag retention, growth and survival; short-term behavioral responses; and physical ... -
Development of an environmental DNA assay and field validation for the detection of invasive pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha was introduced from its native range in the Pacific to Northwest Russia several times since the 1950s. While this species has been regularly observed in rivers in northern Norway since ... -
Development of new metrics to assess and quantify climatic drivers of Extreme event driven Arctic browning
(Journal article, 2020)Rapid climate change in Arctic regions is resulting in more frequent extreme climatic events. These can cause large-scale vegetation damage, and are therefore among key drivers of declines in biomass and productivity (or ... -
Diet of the European badgers (Meles meles) in urban and rural areas of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The constant expansion of urban habitats provides new opportunities for various wildlife species, referred to as urban exploiters or adapters that allow them to thrive in new conditions. The Eurasian badger (Meles meles) ... -
Differences in foraging range between white-tailed tropicbirds breeding on inner and outer Seychelles islands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The foraging ecology and distribution of Phaethontiformes, an order of tropical seabirds, remains generally poorly understood, despite being essential to inform their conservation. Here, we tracked, for the first time, the ... -
Differences in growth between offspring of anadromous and freshwater brown trout Salmo trutta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this study, individual growth of juvenile offspring of anadromous and freshwater resident brown trout Salmo trutta and crosses between the two from the River Imsa, Norway, was estimated. The juveniles were incubated ... -
Differential barrier and corridor effects of power lines,roads and rivers on moose (Alces alces) movements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)uilding new power lines is required to satisfy increasing demands for the transmission of electricity, and at the same time the road network is expanding. To provide guidelines for the routing of new power lines and ... -
Differing perceptions and tensions among tourists and locals concerning a national park region in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In the context of national park management, landscape conservation, and tourism development in a mountain region in Norway, the aim of the research is to analyse how tourists, residents, and local stakeholders experience ... -
Digital fisheries data in the Internet age: Emerging tools for research and monitoring using online data in recreational fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recreational fisheries are diverse in scale, scope, and participation worldwide, constituting an important ecosystem service of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Management of these socio-ecological systems is challenged ... -
Directed endozoochorous dispersal by scavengers facilitate sexual reproduction in otherwise clonal plants at cadaver sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. The regeneration niche of many plant species involves spatially and tempo -rally unpredictable disturbances, called recruitment windows of opportunity. However, even species with clear ... -
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
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Despite increasing habitat fragmentation, large carnivore populations in parts of Europe have been recovering and expanding into human-dominated areas. Knowledge of animal dispersal patterns in such areas is important for ... -
