Leukocyte coping capacity as a tool to assess capture- and handling-induced stress in Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are often captured and handled for research and management purposes. Although the techniques used are potentially stressful for the animals and might have detrimental and long-lasting consequences, ... -
Leukocyte coping capacity: an integrative parameter for wildlife welfare within conservation interventions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Wildlife management, conservation interventions and wildlife research programs often involve capture, manipulation and transport of wild animals. Widespread empirical evidence across various vertebrate taxa shows that ... -
Life-history attributes and resource dynamics determine intraspecific home-range sizes in Carnivora
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Home ranges capture a fundamental aspect of animal ecology, resulting from interactions between metabolic demands and resource availability. Yet, the understanding of their emergence is currently limited by lack of ... -
Life-history evolution under fluctuating density-dependent selection and the adaptive alignment of pace-of-life syndromes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present a novel perspective on life-history evolution that combines recent theoretical advances in fluctuating density-dependent selection with the notion of pace-of-life syndromes (POLSs) in behavioural ecology. These ... -
Light-level geolocators reveal spatial variations in interactions between northern fulmars and fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Seabird−fishery interactions are a common phenomenon of conservation concern. Here, we highlight how light-level geolocators provide promising opportunities to study these interactions. By examining raw light data, it ... -
Limited domestic introgression in a final refuge of the wild pigeon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Domesticated animals have been culturally and economically important throughout history. Many of their ancestral lineages are extinct or genetically en dangered following hybridization with domesticated relatives. ... -
Linking embryonic temperature with adultreproductive investment in Atlantic salmonSalmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The expression of fitness-related traits, such as egg and gonad size, often varies among habitats and exhibits clinal variation along climatic and latitudinal gradients. However, the mechanisms allowing such variations ... -
Linking green infrastructure to urban heat and human health risk mitigation in Oslo, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The predicted extreme temperatures of globalwarming aremagnified in cities due to the urban heat island effect. Even if the target for average temperature increase in the Paris Climate Agreement is met, temperatures during ... -
Linking public participation in scientific research to the indicators and needs of international environmental agreements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Different monitoring approaches collect data that can measure progress toward achieving global environmental indicators. These indicators can: (1) Audit management actions; (2) Inform policy choices; and (3) Raise awareness ... -
Linking social values of wild reindeer to planning and management options in Southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Norway is home to the last remaining populations of wild mountain reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Europe. Concerns over anthropogenic and natural drivers have led to change in the management regime from a ... -
Linking visitors’ spatial preferences to sustainable visitor management in a Norwegian national park
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The increasing numbers of tourists visiting national parks contribute to new opportunities as well as challenges. Alpine and Arctic national parks in Northern Europe are key habitats for vulnerable species such as wild ... -
Little impact of over-winter parasitism on a free-ranging ungulate in the high Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Macroparasites have a central place in wildlife ecology because they have the potential to regulate host populations through effects on reproduction and/or survival. However, there remains a paucity of studies that have ... -
Living with human encroachment: Status and distribution of Green Peafowl in northern stronghold of Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Green Peafowl have declined significantly across much of their historical range mostly due to habitat loss and degradation following intensive agricultural expansion, logging and infrastructure development. In Thailand, ... -
Local buffer mechanisms for population persistence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessing and predicting the persistence of populations is essential for the conservation and control of species. Here, we argue that local mechanisms require a better conceptual synthesis to facilitate a more holistic ... -
Local land use associated with socio-economic development in six arctic regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The socioeconomic causes of land use change are complex. They are highly context dependent, but most often studied through case studies. Here, we use a quasi-experimental paired block design to investigate whether better ... -
Local opposition against high-voltage grids: public responses to agency-caused science policy trolls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)High-voltage (hV) transmission grids are projects of societal importance that potentially have controversial social and environmental impacts. Former research shows that public opposition is sparked by the perception of ... -
Local Perceptions of Ecosystem Services Across Multiple Ecosystem Types in Spain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)ecosystem service diversity; governance; local communities; place-based approach; socio-cultural valuation; social perception -
Local perceptions of jaguar conservation and environmental justice in Goiás, Matto Grosso and Roraima states (Brazil)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Wildlife conservation often leads to various conflicts with other human activities, resulting in concerns about the justice of conservation. Although species' protection e notably of large carnivores e can have negative ... -
Local prey shortages drive foraging costs and breeding success in a declining seabird, the Atlantic puffin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. As more and more species face anthropogenic threats, understanding the causes of population declines in vulnerable taxa is essential. However, long-term datasets, ideal to identify lasting or indirect effects on fitness ... -
Local resources, linear elements and mass-flowering crops determine bumblebee occurrences in moderately intensified farmlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)There is consensus that land-use change is a main driver behind the recent declines of many pollinator populations in Europe. However, it is still not adequately understood how the local resource quality and landscape ...
