Following the cold: geographical differentiation between interglacial refugia and speciation in the arcto-alpine species complex Bombus monticola (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Cold-adapted species are expected to have reached their largest distribution range during a part of the Ice Ages whereas postglacial warming has led to their range contracting toward high-latitude and high-altitude areas. ... -
Food waste reduction in supply chains through innovations: a review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose – Agri-food supply chains are facing a number of challenges, which cause inefficiencies resulting in the waste of natural and economic resources, and in negative environmental and social impacts. Food waste (FW) ... -
For quantitative criteria in alien species assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Impact or risk assessments of alien species can use qualitative criteria (such as verbally described categories) or quantitative criteria (numerically defined threshold values of empirically measurable quantities). According ... -
Forage fish abundance is a predictor of timing of breeding and hatching brood size in a coastal seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Current and future climate alterations might impact ecological processes like timing of breeding. We used multivariate linear models to assess the importance of food availability and climate on timing of breeding and ... -
Foraging behaviour of black guillemots at three Norwegian sites during the breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The intensifcation of coastal development poses potential threats for coastal seabirds, and understanding their habitat use is a key factor to guide conservation and management. In sub-arctic areas, black guillemots (Cepphus ... -
Foraging tactics in dynamic sea-ice habitats affect individual state in a long-ranging seabird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Individual heterogeneity in diet and foraging behaviour is common in wild animal populations, and can be a strong determinant of how populations respond to environmental changes. Within populations, variation in ... -
Forest edges and other semi-natural habitat edges increase wild bee species richness and habitat connectivity in intensively managed temperate landscapes
(Journal article, 2024)Pollinator conservation schemes are typically focused on conserving existing-, restoring degraded- or establishing new wild bee habitats. The effectiveness of such conservation schemes depends on the presence of dispersal ... -
Forest owners' perspectives on forest protection in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Forest protection in nature reserves in Norway relies on the voluntary participation of forest owners. While the national forest protection program has been a success since its start in early 1990s, by 2020 the national ... -
Forest regeneration may reduce the negative impacts of climate change on the biodiversity of a tropical hotspot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aim Evaluate how large-scale forest regeneration based on a low-cost restoration method may mitigate the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation associated to future climate changes on the distribution of birds and ... -
Forest science between human and nonhuman agency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This paper explores the distribution of agency in forest science. Studies of forest science tend to view it primarily as seeking to control and exploit natural resources. But recent turns in social theory open for ... -
Forestry and environmental conditions as determinants of pine marten Martes martes occurrence in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European pine marten Martes martes is often associated with late seral stage coniferous forest stands. Earlier research has indicated that this species may be nega-tively influenced by clearcutting practices. However, ... -
Forests dynamics in the montane–alpine boundary: a comparative study using satellite imagery and climate data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Over the past decades, the altitudinal and latitudinal advance of forest lines has increased due to global warming and the abandonment of less productive areas previously subject to agricultural activities. The intensity ... -
Fragmentation in calcareous grasslands: species specialization matters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Habitat fragmentation resulting from anthropogenic land-use change may negatively affect both biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. However, susceptibility to fragmentation varies between species and may be ... -
Frameworks for regulating local natural resource use in northern Sweden and northern Norway – A legislative review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Northern Europe is often seen as having a specific relation to nature. In this manuscript, the policy and regulatory frameworks in Norway and Sweden are compared when it comes to the scope for local use that is provided ... -
Framing pictures: A conceptual framework to identify and correct for biases in detection probability of camera traps enabling multi‐species comparison
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Obtaining reliable species observations is of great importance in animal ecology and wildlife conservation. An increasing number of studies use camera traps (CTs) to study wildlife communities, and an increasing effort is ... -
France as a staging and wintering area for Greylag Geese Anser anser
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)France is traditionally a staging area for Greylag Geese Anser anser migrating from northwest Europe to wintering sites in Spain, though increasing numbers have wintered in France over the last three decades. This paper ... -
The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements
(Journal article, 2020)Qvenild T, Hesthagen T and Fjellheim A. 2020. The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements. ... -
From social interactions to private environmental behaviours: The case of consumer food waste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Consumer food waste, like many environmental behaviours, takes place in private, and is not directly subject to social monitoring. Nevertheless, social interactions can affect private opinions and behaviours. This paper ... -
From steps to home range formation: species-specific movement upscaling among sympatric ungulates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)1.Animals move to interact with the environment in order to find food resources and cover.Intrinsic characteristics affecting feeding and antipredatory strategies likely shape variation inmovement patterns and home range ... -
From Svalbard to Siberia: Passerines breeding in the High Arctic also endure the Extreme cold of the Western Steppe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Few species are adapted to high latitudes, and many over-winter in milder climates with migrations involving extensive barrier crossings. By escaping extreme conditions for the majority of the year, physiological and ...
