Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snowcover and predator abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background ... -
Climate-driven biophysical changes in feeding and breeding environments explain the decline of southernmost European Atlantic salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The consistency of the global declining trend of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations suggests that climate-driven reduced survival and growth at sea are the main driving factors. The southernmost populations have ... -
Climatic and biotic extreme events moderate long-term responses of above- and belowground sub-Arctic heathland communities to climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Climate change impacts are not uniform across the Arctic region because interacting factors causes large variations in local ecosystem change. Extreme climatic events and population cycles of herbivores occur simultaneously ... -
Closing the gap between science and management of cold-water refuges in rivers and streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Human activities and climate change threaten coldwater organisms in freshwater eco-systems by causing rivers and streams to warm, increasing the intensity and frequency of warm temperature events, and reducing thermal ... -
The Coexistence Potential of Different Wildlife Conservation Frameworks in a Historical Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Wildlife management in contemporary Europe means balancing multiple demands in shared landscapes. Perhaps the greatest question facing today’s policy makers and wildlife professionals is how to develop frameworks for ... -
Collection of Scientific Specimens:Benefits for Biodiversity Sciences and Limited Impacts on Communities of Small Mammals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Despite increasing use of specimens from natural-history collections, continued field sampling has met with growing resistance attributable to changing societal values. Widespread perception persists that the removal of ... -
Communication Interventions and Fear of Brown Bears: Considerations of Content and Format
(Journal article, 2019)Communication interventions are commonly proposed as a way to address people’s fear and negative attitudes to build tolerance in shared landscapes between humans and large carnivores. Therefore, managing authorities ... -
Community-wide mesocarnivore response to partial ungulate migration
(Journal article, 2014)1. Mesocarnivores increase in number and geographic range in human-disturbed ecosystems with cascading negative impact on biodiversity. To mitigate such impacts, it is essential to identify the proximate causes of such ... -

Composition and Drivers of Gut Microbial Communities in Arctic-Breeding Shorebirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Gut microbiota can have important effects on host health, but explanatory factors and pathways that determine gut microbial composition can differ among host lineages. In mammals, host phylogeny is one of the main drivers ... -
Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Demographic correlations are pervasive in wildlife populations and can represent important secondary drivers of population growth. Empirical evidence suggests that correlations are in general positive for long-lived ... -
Consequences of past climate change and recent human persecution on mitogenomic diversity in the arctic fox
(Journal article, 2019)Ancient DNA provides a powerful means to investigate the timing, rate and extent of population declines caused by extrinsic factors, such as past climate change and human activities. One species probably affected by both ... -

Conservation decision-making under uncertainty: Identifying when to reintroduce tiger Panthera tigris to Cambodia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Conservationists need to present biological monitoring data to decision makers in a way which clearly represents uncertainty. Providing results in terms of the probability of a hypothesis being true may have greater utility ... -
Conservation of the endangered Arctic fox in Norway - are successful reintroductions enough?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Translocation of captive-bred animals has become a widespread conservation practice to counteract species extinctions. We analyse and discuss the apparent success and shortcomings of Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) reintroductions ... -
Conserving Wolves by Transforming Them? The Transformative E!fects of Technologies of Government in Biodiversity Conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This article investigates the construction of instruments and techniques employed in the management of Norwegian wolves since the early 1980s by construing the tools as technologies of government. The proliferation of such ... -
Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due to variation in survival, growth, and timing of life history ... -
Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce ... -
Contributions to the revision of the genus Entoloma (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) in Europe: six new species from subgenus Cyanula and typification of E. incarnatofuscescens
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In anticipation of a phylogenetically revised monograph of Entoloma in Europe, six new species of subgenus Cyanula are described here. Entoloma cistocruentatum is associated with Cistus in Spain, E. dislocatum occurs in ... -
A corticolous Verrucaria species new to Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)During a survey in temperate deciduous forests in southern Norway, a species of the predominatly epilithic genus Verrucaria was encountered on the base of a large Ulmus glabra tree. The specimen agreed well with the ...
