Low cardiac output as physiological phenomenon in hibernating, free-ranging Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos) - an observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Despite 5-7 months of physical inactivity during hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) are able to cope with physiological conditions that would be detrimental to humans. During hibernation, the tissue metabolic ... -

Low impact of dry conditions on the CO2 exchange of aNorthern-Norwegian blanket bog.
(Peer reviewed; Journal Article, 2015)Northern peatlands hold large amounts of organic carbon (C) in their soils and are as such important in a climate change context. Blanket bogs, i.e. nutrient-poor peatlands restricted to maritime climates, may be extra ... -
Low Recruitment in a Population of Brook Trout in a Norwegian Watershed—Is It Due to Dilution of the Water Chemistry?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Dilution of the water chemistry caused by reduced acidification has lately received increased attention, both in Europe and North America. There has also been a declining trend in the supply of sea salts. Several studies ... -
Lower levels of human disturbance correspond with longer-term persistence of Endangered Green Peafowl Pavo muticus populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Galliformes are one of the most threatened groups of birds in South-East Asia, with 27% of the species threatened with extinction. Long term population viability and extinction probability studies, at different levels of ... -
Lower Urban Humidity Moderates Outdoor Heat Stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi-city studies and for informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature measurements. Cities also have lower relative humidity, ... -
Lynx predation on semi-domestic reindeer: do age and sex matter?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The Eurasian lynx is an efficient stalking predator mainly selecting small-sized ungulates. In northern Scandinavia, semi-domestic reindeer are the only ungulate species available for Eurasian lynx year round and consequently ... -
Macrobenthic communities in water bodies and streams of Svalbard, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Diversity of macrobenthic communities was studied from water bodies and streams of Spitsbergen, Svalbard archipelago, Norway. In total 162 quantitative samples from different regions of Spitsbergen were analysed in relation ... -
Macrophytes shape trophic niche variation among generalist fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Generalist species commonly have a fundamental role in ecosystems as they can integrate spatially distinct habitats and food-web compartments, as well as control the composition, abundance and behavior of organisms at ... -
Making Messy Data Work for Conservation
(Journal article, 2020)Conservationists increasingly use unstructured observational data, such as citizen science records or ranger patrol observations, to guide decision making. These datasets are often large and relatively cheap to collect, ... -
Managing small populations—using genetic data and trial translocations to help inform suitable conservation measures for the alpine blue-sowthistle (Cicerbita alpina) in Scotland
(Peer reviewed, 2023)Habitat fragmentation is causing an increasing amount of species loss around the world and creates problems at the population level. Many species are left as only small and isolated populations, which are vulnerable to ... -
Managing Svalbard Tourism: Inconsistencies and Conflicts of Interest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Svalbard Archipelago has experienced a rapid increase in tourism-related activities over the past few decades. The Norwegian Government’s ambition to develop the Archipelago’s tourism industry offers multiple socio-economic ... -
Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and ... -
Mapping soil organic carbon stocks and trends with satellite-driven high resolution maps over South Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Estimation and monitoring of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is important for maintaining soil productivity and meeting climate change mitigation targets. Current global SOC maps do not provide enough detail for landscape- ... -
Mapping value plurality towards ecosystem services in the case of Norwegian wildlife management: A Q analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)For many deep-rooted resource conflicts where the cultural component of ecosystem services (ES) is strong, standard monetary valuation may be methodologically difficult and not always meaningful. A deeper understanding of ... -
Mass development of aquatic plants: Effects of contrasting management scenarios on a suite of ecosystem services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Dense beds of aquatic plants are often perceived as nuisance and therefore mechanically removed, often at substantial cost. Such removal, however, may affect a range of ecosystem functions and consequently also the ... -
Match between soaring modes of black kites and the fine-scale distribution of updrafts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Understanding how soaring birds use updrafts at small spatial scales is important to identify ecological constraints of movement, and may help to prevent conflicts between wind-energy development and the conservation of ... -
Maternal Androgens Increase Sibling Aggression, Dominance, and Competitive Ability in the Siblicidal Black-Legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Animals and plants routinely produce more offspring than they can afford to rear. Mothers can favour certain young by conferring on them competitive advantages such as a leading position in the birth sequence, more resources ... -
Maternal inheritance influences homing and growth of hybrid offspring between wild and farmed Atlantic salmon

Maturation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae): a synthesis of ecological, genetic, and molecular processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies, knowledge of trait genetic architecture, ...
