Exceptionally high apparent adult survival in three tropical species of plovers in Madagascar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Adult survival is a key component of population dynamics, and understanding variation in and the drivers of adult survival rates and longevity is critical for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for conservation ... -
Exclusion of invertebrates influences saprotrophic fungal community and wood decay rate in an experimental field study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Decomposer communities perform an essential ecosystem function by recycling nutrients. However, the effect of higher trophic levels on microbial decomposer communities and rate of decomposition is poorly understood. We ... -
Existing evidence on the use of participatory scenarios in ecological restoration: a systematic map
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background and context The scale of land degradation worldwide has led to nearly one billion hectares committed to restoration globally. However, achieving such restoration targets will necessitate complex trade-offs against ... -
Expanding the spatial scale in DNA-based monitoring schemes: ascertainment bias in transnational assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Harmonising methodology between countries is crucial in transborder population monitoring. However, immediate application of alleged, established DNA-based methods across the extended area can entail drawbacks and may lead ... -
Expansion speed as a generic measure of spread for alien species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The ecological impact of alien species is a function of the area colonised. Impact assessments of alien species are thus incomplete unless they take the spatial component of invasion processes into account. This paper ... -

Experimental warming increases fungal alpha diversity in an oligotrophic maritime Antarctic soil
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The climate of maritime Antarctica has altered since the 1950s. However, the effects of increased temperature, precipitation and organic carbon and nitrogen availability on the fungal communities inhabiting the barren and ... -

Explaining variation in brood parasitism rates between potential host species with similar habitat requirements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Host specialization evolved in many parasite-host systems. Evolution and maintenance of host specificity may be influenced by host life-history traits, active host selection by the parasite, and host anti-parasite ... -
Exploratory and confirmatory research in the open science era
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)1. Applied ecological research is increasingly inspired by the open science movement. However, new challenges about how we define our science when biodiversity data are being shared and reused are not solved. Among these ... -
Exploring intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values for sustainable management of social-ecological systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The values (i.e., importance) that people place on ecosystems have been identified as a crucial dimension of sustainable management of social-ecological systems. Recently, the call for integrating plural values of ecosystems ... -
Exploring sustainable experiences in tourism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study explores the vaguely defined concept of sustainableexperiences. Specifically, it questions how perceived experiencevalue at tourism destinations can be enhanced through sustainableexperience dimensions. Although ... -

Exposure of White‑throated Dippers to heavy metals in acidified and non‑acidified streams in Norway
(Journal article, 2020)We examined the exposure of White-throated Dippers (Cinclus cinclus) to aluminum and mercury in acidified and nonacidified streams in two regions of Norway. Both metals showed significantly higher concentrations in the ... -
Exposure to oxychlordane is associated with shorter telomeres in arctic breeding kittiwakes

Extra-pair paternity and sperm length variation in a far northern Great Tit (Parus major) population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Extra-pair paternity is common among socially monogamous bird species and considered an important driver of post-copulatory sexual selection on ejaculate traits including sperm traits. Patterns of extra-pair paternity and ... -
Extra-pair paternity in the boreal, socially monogamous Grey-headed Chickadee (Poecile cinctus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Extra-pair mating is common alternative reproductive strategyamong socially monogamous bird species, but empirical data on the genetic mating systems of most species are still lacking. Here we present the first parentage ... -
Extra‑pair paternity and sperm length variation in the socially monogamous Fieldfare Turdus pilaris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Basic knowledge about the genetic mating system is lacking for the great majority of the approximately 10,000 extant bird species. Filling this knowledge gap is not only critical for a comprehensive understanding of the ... -
Extreme event impacts on CO2 fluxes across a range of high latitude, shrub-dominated ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Arctic is experiencing an increased frequency of extreme events which can cause landscape-scale vegetation damage. Extreme event-driven damage is an important driver of the decline in vegetation productivity (termed ...
