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
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
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, ... -
Maximum likelihood estimation for randomized shortest paths with trajectory data
(Journal article, 2020)Randomized shortest paths (RSPs) are tool developed in recent years for different graph and network analysis applications, such as modelling movement or flow in networks. In essence, the RSP framework considers the ... -
Melittobia acasta (Walker, 1839) (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Eulophidae, Tetrastichinae) recorded in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Melittobia acasta (Walker, 1839) is reported for the first time in Norway. The species is known for its extreme sexual dimorphism and for parasitizing various hymenopterans in bee nesting sites. Comments on biology and ... -
Memory effects on movement behavior in animal foraging
(Peer reviewed; Journal article; Journal article, 2015) -
Mercury exposure, stress and prolactin secretion in an Arctic seabird: an experimental study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Life-history theory predicts that long-lived organisms should reduce parental effort under inclement environmental conditions in order to favour long-term survival. Seabirds are long-lived top predators often exposed to ... -
Meta-analysis of landowner participation in voluntary incentive programs for provision of forest ecosystem services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many voluntary incentive programs for provision of forest ecosystem services (ES) have low par-ticipation rates, insufficient enrollment areas, and inefficient ecological outcomes. Understanding participationbehavior in ... -
Meta-analysis of multidecadal biodiversity trends in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological time series (15–91 years) collected ... -
Metapopulation regulation acts at multiple spatial scales: Insights from a century of seabird colony census data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Density-dependent feedback is recognized as important regulatory mechanisms of population size. Considering the spatial scales over which such feedback operates has advanced our theoretical understanding of metapopulation ... -
Method Reporting with Initials for Transparency (MeRIT) promotes more granularity and accountability for author contributions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) has recently changed how author contributions are acknowledged. To extend and complement CRediT, we propose MeRIT, a new way of writing the Methods section using the author’s initials ... -
Methods for landscape characterisation and mapping: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Due to the multidisciplinary nature of landscape research, many different systems and methods for landscape identification and classification exist. This paper provides a systematic review of 54 contemporary landscape ... -
Methods to quantify avian airspace use in relation to wind energy development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is likely that there will continue to be a substantial increase in the number of wind turbines as we aim to meet global energy demands through renewable sources. However, these structures can have adverse impacts on ... -
Metrics for quantifying how much different threats contribute to red lists of species and ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Red lists are a crucial tool for the management of threatened species and ecosystems. Among the information red lists provide, the threats affecting the listed species or ecosystem, such as pollution or hunting, are of ... -
