Multivariate Analysis of Geological Data for Regional Studies of Geodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In Norway, a landscape map exists which gives the opportunity to collect data in landscape units for further analysis. This study covers parts of Norway and Sweden, so the landscape map was extended into Sweden to form a ... -
Multi‑generational genetic consequences of reinforcement in a bird metapopulation
(Journal article, 2020)Translocation of conspecific individuals to reduce extinction risk of small, isolated populations and prevent genetic depletion is a powerful tool in conservation biology. An important question is how the translocated ... -
Mushrooms for enhanced agriculture sustainability the MUSA concept
(Journal article, 2023)The project MUSA – MUshrooms for Sustainable Agriculture is an effort to use mushroom-based processes to enhance agriculture sustainability in Nordic and Baltic countries. The project covers both the production of fruitbodies ... -
Muskox status, recent variation, and uncertain future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) are an integral component of Arctic biodiversity. Given low genetic diversity, their ability to respond to future and rapid Arctic change is unknown, although paleontological history demonstrates ... -
Mutation predicts 40 million years of fly wing evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Mutation enables evolution, but the idea that adaptation is also shaped by mutational variation is controversial1–4. Simple evolutionary hypotheses predict such a relationship if the supply of mutations constrains evolution5,6, ... -
Mysis segerstralei, an unexpected but important prey for resident Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in a Svalbard lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Mysis segerstralei is distributed over a wide geographic area and in habitats with a variety of salinity conditions, including marine and brackish waters around Svalbard. The species has seldom been found in freshwater ... -
National mapping and assessment of ecosystem services projects in Europe – Participants’ experiences, state of the art and lessons learned
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Backed by the Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 and 2030, numerous ‘Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystem Services’ (MAES) projects have been completed in recent years in the member states of the European Union, with substantial ... -
The Native Bees of Lolland (Denmark) Revisited after 100 Years: The Demise of the Specialists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is a global concern over insect declines, including both species loss and population declines. In particular, declines of species, such as bees that anchor trophic interactions and shoulder many of the essential ... -
Natural and anthropogenic drivers of escaped farmed salmon occurrence and introgression into wild Norwegian Atlantic salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a relatively new industry where breeding programs have led to rapid genetic change in the captive populations that were built up alongside conspecific wild individuals. ... -
A natural antipredation experiment: predator control and reduced sea ice increases colony size in a long-lived duck
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced ... -
Natural forest regeneration on anthropized landscapes could overcome climate change effects on the endangered maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus, Illiger 1811)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change and habitat loss have been identified as the main causes of species extinction. Forest regeneration and protected areas are essential to buffer climate change impacts and to ensure quality habitats for ... -
Near-natural forests harbor richer saproxylic beetle communities than those in intensively managed forests
(Journal article, 2020)Globally, boreal forests cover 33 percent of Earth's forested area, constitute the largest terrestrial carbon source, and house an important biodiversity of forest-dependent species, many of which are saproxylic taxa reliant ... -
Need for transparent and repeatable conservation frameworks: reply to Child et al. 2019

Network characterization of the Entangled Model for sustainability indicators. Analysis of the network properties for scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Policy-makers require strategies to select a set of sustainability indicators that are useful for monitoring sustainability. For this reason, we have developed a model where sustainability indicators compete for the ... -
A network to enhance the contributions from the social sciences and humanities to IPBES
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)IPBES requires enhanced contributions from the social sciences and humanities in order to meet its mandate and influence policy. However, achieving this has so far proved challenging, notably in the form of a shortage in ... -
New and previously known species of Copepoda and Cladocera (Crustacea) from Svalbard, Norway – who are they and where do they come from?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Arctic landscapes are characterised by an immense number of fresh and brackish water habitats – lakes, ponds and puddles. Due to a rather harsh environment, there is a limited number of species inhabiting these ecosystems. ... -
A new biologging approach reveals unique flightless molt strategies of Atlantic puffins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Animal- borne telemetry devices provide essential insights into the life- history strate -gies of far- ranging species and allow us to understand how they interact with their environment. Many species in the seabird family ... -
