Moth Outbreaks Reduce Decomposition in Subarctic Forest Soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tree mortality from insect infestations can significantly reduce carbon storage in forest soils. In subarctic birch forests (Betula pubescens), ecosystem C cycling is largely affected by recurrent outbreaks of defoliating ... -
Moult location and diet of auks in the North Sea inferred from coupled light-based and isotope-based geolocation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Many pelagic seabirds moult their feathers while at sea, which is an energetically costly behaviour. Mortality rates during moult can be high, so spatial and trophic ecology during this critical period is important for ... -
Movement and heart rate in the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article, 2019)Background: Understanding animal movement facilitates better management and conservation. The link between movement and physiology holds clues to the basic drivers of animal behaviours. In bears, heart rate increases with ... -
Movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) in a small stream, determined by radiotelemetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This article reports on the results of the first radiotelemetric field study comparing the movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) over the 24-h cycle. During our study (in summer, outside ... -
Movements of dead fish in rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: The aim of telemetry studies is often to determine the fate and mortality rates of ish. A moving ish is usually regarded as alive and a long-term stationary ish as dead—and the site where it became stationary ... -
Moving in the Anthropocene: Global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Multi-colony tracking of two pelagic seabirds with contrasting flight capability illustrates how windscapes shape migratory movements at an ocean-basin scale
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Migration is a common trait among many animals allowing the exploitation of spatiotemporally variable resources. It often implies high energetic costs to cover large distances, for example between breeding and wintering ... -
Multi-colony tracking reveals spatio-temporal variation in carry-over effects between breeding success and winter movements in a pelagic seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Carry-over effects, whereby events in one season have consequences in subsequent seasons, have important demographic implications. Although most studies examine carry-over effects across 2 seasons in single populations, ... -
Multi-criteria decision analysis and cost-benefit analysis: comparing alternative frameworks for integrated valuation of ecosystem services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods has been promoted as an alternative approach to monetary economic valuation of ecosystem services in Cost-Benefit Analysis framework (CBA). We discuss the potential of MCDA ... -
Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of lophiostomatoid fungi motivates a broad concept of Lophiostoma and reveals nine new species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Recent studies on the fungal families Lophiostomataceae and Lophiotremataceae (Pleosporales) have provided varying phylogenetic and taxonomic results concerning constituent genera and species. By adding DNA sequences of ... -
Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ... -
Multifaceted density dependence: Social structure and seasonality effects on Serengeti lion demography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Interactions between density and environmental conditions have important effects on vital rates and consequently on population dynamics and can take complex pathways in species whose demography is strongly influenced ... -
Multilevel processes and cultural adaptation: examples from past and present small-scale societies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The last two decades have seen a proliferation of research frameworks that emphasise the importance of understanding adaptive processes that happen at different levels. We contribute to this growing body of literature by ... -
Multiple paternity promotes genetic diversity in captive breeding of a freshwater mussel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Captive breeding can be an important supplement to habitat restoration in the Conservation of threatened species. Careful choice of breeding regimes and genetic monitoring are essential to maintain genetic integrity and ... -
Multiple recolonization routes towards the north: Population history of the Fennoscandian red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Understanding the response of boreal species to past climate warming can help to predict future responses to climate change. In the Northern Hemisphere, the distribution and abundance of northern populations have been ... -
Multiple stakeholders’ perspectives of marine social ecological systems, a case study on the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Barents Sea ecosystem components and services are under pressure from climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. Following an Ecosystem-based management approach, multiple simultaneous pressures are addressed ... -
Multiple Stressors in a Top Predator Seabird:Potential Ecological Consequences ofEnvironmental Contaminants, PopulationHealth and Breeding Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Environmental contaminants may have impacts on reproduction and survival in wildlife populations suffering from multiple stressors. This study examined whether adverse effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) ... -
Multiple stressors: modeling the effect of pollution, climate, and predation on viability of a sub-arctic marine bird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Negative effects of long-transported pollutants, such as many persistent organic pollutants (POPs), on seabirds and other top predators have been documented for decades. Yet, the concentrations, and hence, the negative ... -
Multiple stressors: negative effects of nest predation on the viability of a threatened gull in different environmental conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The majority of the world's seabirds show substantial population declines, but a detailed understanding of the phenomenon is lacking. A potentially important mechanism that has received momentum lately is nest predation. ... -
Multiscale socio-ecological networks in the age of information
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Interactions between people and ecological systems, through leisure or tourism activities, form a complex socio-ecological spatial network. The analysis of the benefits people derive from their interactions with nature—also ...
