Genome sequencing and conservation genomics in the Scandinavian wolverine population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Genetic approaches have proved valuable to the study and conservation of endangered populations, especially for monitoring programs, and there is potential for further developments in this direction by extending analyses ... -
Genome-wide diversity loss in reintroduced Eurasian lynx populations urges immediate conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Reintroductions may produce populations that suffer from decreasing genetic diversity due to isolation, genetic drift and inbreeding if not assisted by careful management. To assess the genetic outcomes of reintroductions ... -
A genus new to Norway and the distribution of Protaphidius wissmannii (Ratzeburg, 1848) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae; Aphidiinae) in Scandinavia, a parasitoid of ant-attended aphids on tree trunks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The genus Protaphidius Ashmead, 1900 and it's only species in Europe, P. wissmannii (Ratzeburg, 1848) are here reported new to Norway. Protaphidius wissmannii is a parasitoid of giant aphids of the genus Stomaphis Linnaeus, ... -
Geographic variation in the intensity of warming and phenological mismatch between Arctic shorebirds and invertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Responses to climate change can vary across functional groups and trophic levels, leading to a temporal decoupling of trophic interactions or “phenological mismatches.” Despite a growing number of single-species studies ... -
Global 10 m Land Use Land Cover Datasets: A Comparison of Dynamic World, World Cover and Esri Land Cover
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellites have laid the foundation for global land use land cover (LULC) mapping with unprecedented detail at 10 m resolution. We present a cross-comparison and accuracy assessment of ... -
Global analysis of seasonal changes in trematode infection levels reveals weak and variable link to temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Seasonal changes in environmental conditions drive phenology, i.e., the annual timing of biological events ranging from the individual to the ecosystem. Phenological patterns and successional abundance cycles have been ... -
Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters ... -
A global assessment of parasite diversity in galaxiid fishes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl edge. This study aimed to determine ... -
A global biodiversity observing system to unite monitoring and guide action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The rate and extent of global biodiversity change is surpassing our ability to measure, monitor and forecast trends. We propose an interconnected worldwide system of observation networks — a global biodiversity observing ... -
Global change and ecosystem connectivity: how geese link fields of central Europe to eutrophication of Arctic freshwaters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Migratory connectivity by birds may mutually affect different ecosystems over large distances. Populations of geese overwintering in southern areas while breeding in high-latitude ecosystems have increased strongly ... -
Global fading of the temperature–growth coupling at alpine and polar treelines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of climate change, a global ... -
Global Patterns and Controls of Nutrient Immobilization on Decomposing Cellulose in Riverine Ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) immobilization was measured on organic matter (cotton) in 100 rivers and riparian zones representing 11 biomes•Elevated temperature in riparian zones and phosphate in rivers increased ... -
Global phenological insensitivity to shifting ocean temperatures among seabirds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Reproductive timing in many taxa plays a key role in determining breeding productivity1, and is often sensitive to climatic conditions2. Current climate change may alter the timing of breeding at different rates across ... -
Global population and conservation status of the Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus is a generalist species that inhabits temperate and arctic coasts of the north Atlantic Ocean. In recent years, there has been growing concern about population declines at local ... -
Global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by recreational anglers: considerations for developing more resilient and sustainable fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The global COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many jurisdictions implementing orders restricting the movements of people to inhibit virus transmission, with recreational angling often either not permitted or access to fsheries ... -
Global Spore Sampling Project: A global, standardized dataset of airborne fungal DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise for re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, ... -
A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalvemolluscs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instru-mental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to ... -
Global trends in aquatic animal tracking with acoustic telemetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acoustic telemetry (AT) is a rapidly evolving technique used to track the movements of aquatic animals. As the capacity of AT research expands it is important to optimize its relevance to management while still pursuing ... -
Global warming is projected to lead to increased freshwater growth potential and changes in pace of life in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global warming has been implicated in widespread demographic changes in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar populations, but projections of life-history responses to future climate change are lacking. Here, we first exploit multiple ...
