Impacts of predation by Eurasian otters on Atlantic salmon in two Norwegian rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. The return of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) to western Norway has sparked human–predator conflicts because otters prey on vulnerable Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations. Although predation may not be the ultimate ... -
Impacts of predator-mediated interactions along a climatic gradient on the population dynamics of an alpine bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)According to classic theory, species’ population dynamics and distributions are less influenced by species interactions under harsh climatic conditions compared to under more benign climatic conditions. In alpine and boreal ... -
Impacts of snow season on ground-ice accumulation, soil frost andprimary productivity in a grassland of sub-Arctic Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Europe’s and the World’s northernmost agriculture is very vulnerable to harsh overwintering conditions. It is important from both an economic and societal standpoint to have accurate methods of predicting the severity ... -
Impacts of wild fishes attracted to open-cage salmonid farms in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Salmonid farming affects both the environment and other industries, with impacts of wild fish attracted to fish farms being a major concern. Here, we summarized existing knowledge on the impacts of such aggregations around ... -
Implementation of the first adaptive management plan for a European migratory waterbird population: The case of the Svalbard pink-footed goose Anser brachyrhynchus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)An International Species Management Plan for the Svalbard population of the pink-footed goose was adopted under theAgreement on theConservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds in 2012, the first case of adaptive ... -
Implementing code review in the scientific workflow: Insights from ecology and evolutionary biology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Code review increases reliability and improves reproducibility of research. As such, code review is an inevitable step in software development and is common in fields such as computer science. However, despite its importance, ... -
Implications of fisheries impacts to seabed biodiversity and ecosystem-based management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Importance of spatial configuration of deadwood habitats in species conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Komonen and Müller (2018) aimed to inform connectivity conservation of saproxylic (deadwood-dependent) organisms. Out of the many different definitions of connectivity, they focus on structural connectivity and relate it ... -
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ... -
In situ measurement of salinity during seaward migration of Atlantic salmon post‑smolts using acoustic transmitters with data‑storage capabilities and conventional acoustic transmitters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Development of miniature acoustic transmitters and data-storage tags has provided new insights into ecology of free-ranging aquatic animals. In this study, we used a data-storage-type and a conventional acoustic ... -
Incentivising open ecological data using blockchain technology

Inclusive conservation and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: Tensions and prospects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework commits to achievement of equity and justice outcomes and represents a ‘‘relational turn’’ in how we understand inclusive conservation. Although ‘‘inclusivity’’ is drawn ... -
Incorporating threat in hotspots and coldspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Spatial prioritization could help target conservation actions directed to maintain both biodiversity and ecosystem services. We delineate hotspots and coldspots of two biodiversity conservation features and five ... -
Increased nationwide use of green spaces in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In recent years, there has been growing concern about the decline in human green space use and nature-based recreation in Western countries. While some evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased recreational ... -
Increasing intensities of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809 det. Krabbe, 1878) larvae with weight and sea age in returning adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., of coastal waters of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ninety wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., (1.5–10.3 kg) were caught in the Namsen Fjord near the mouth of River Namsen, mid-Norway, and examined for the presence and distribution of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809 det. ... -
Increasing uptake of ecosystem service assessments: best practice check-lists for practitioners in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Aiming at understanding the role of plural values in decision-making, the IPBES Values Assessment defined nature valuation broadly as including biophysical, economic and socio-cultural assessments, including ecosystem ... -
Increasing water temperatures exacerbate the potential for density dependence in juvenile steelhead
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We study the potential effects of predicted climate change on the energetic demands of juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and their consequences for local population size and structure in Idaho, USA. Projected increases ... -
Index Measuring Land Use Intensity—A Gradient‐Based Approach
(Journal article, 2023)To monitor the changes in the landscape, and to relate these to ecological processes, we need robust and reproducible methods for quantifying the changes in landscape patterns. The main aim of this study is to present, ... -
Individual migration strategy fidelity but no habitat specialization in two congeneric seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Abstract Aim: In migratory species, individuals often use fixed and individual-specific migration strategies, which we term individual migration strategy fidelity (IMSF). Our goal was to test if guillemots have flexible ... -
Individual Movement - Sequence Analysis Method (IM-SAM): characterizing spatio-temporal patterns of animal habitat use across landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We present methodological advances to a recently developed framework to study sequential habitat use by animals using a visually-explicit and tree-based Sequence Analysis Method (SAM), derived from molecular biology and ...
