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 ... -
New data on Cortinarius funga (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) from Altaiskiy Nature Reserve and Gorno-Altaysk area (sw Siberia, Russia)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)During an expedition in 2018 to Teletskoye Lake, Altaiskiy Nature Reserve and Gorno-Altaysk area (Altay Republic), 49 Cortinarius species were collected and documented, including ITS DNA sequencing of 32 samples. A total ... -
New forms of home blindness: Rethinking fieldwork methods in digitalized environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Digital Anthropology has in the past two decades emerged as a field that seeks to better grasp experiences of being human within digital technology and culture. However, digital technology is today so entangled in everyday ... -
A new species of jupati, genus Metachirus Burmeister 1854 (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) for the Brazilian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The brown or pouchless four-eyed opossums or jupatis represent the genus Metachirus with a wide geographical range in the Neotropics. Recent studies show distinct monophyletic clades with high genetic divergence and ... -
New tools to evaluate plastic ingestion by northern fulmars applied to North Sea monitoring data 2002–2018
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Monitoring plastic in stomachs of beached northern fulmars for OSPAR’s Ecological Quality Objectives (EcoQOs) has been incorporated into the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This paper aims to provide ... -
Non-native vascular flora of the Arctic: Taxonomic richness, distribution and pathways
(Journal article, 2020)We present a comprehensive list of non-native vascular plants known from the Arctic, explore their geographic distribution, analyze the extent of naturalization and invasion among 23 subregions of the Arctic, and examine ... -

Non-stationary Response of Tree Growth to Climate Trends Along the Arctic Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change modulates cold-marginal forest ecosystems through changing growth constraints. Understanding spatiotemporal variations in climate– growth relationships is essential to project forest ecosystem dynamics, and ... -
Nonlinear spatial and temporal decomposition provides insight for climate change effects on sub-Arctic herbivore populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Global temperatures are increasing, afecting timing and availability of vegetation along with relationships between plants and their consumers. We examined the efect of population density, herd body condition in the previous ... -
North Atlantic winter cyclones starve seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Each winter, the North Atlantic Ocean is the stage for numerous cyclones, the most severe ones leading to seabird mass-mortality events called ‘‘winter wrecks.’’ During these, thousands of emaciated seabird carcasses are ... -
The northernmost hyperspectral FLoX sensor dataset for monitoring of high-Arctic tundra vegetation phenology and Sun-Induced Fluorescence (SIF)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A hyperspectral field sensor (FloX) was installed in Adventdalen (Svalbard, Norway) in 2019 as part of the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) for monitoring vegetation phenology and Sun-Induced ... -
Northward range expansion in spring‐staging barnacle geese is a response to climate change and population growth, mediated by individual experience
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)All long‐distance migrants must cope with changing environments, but species differ greatly in how they do so. In some species, individuals might be able to adjust by learning from individual experiences and by copying ... -
Norway's Wolf Policy and the Bern Convention on European Wildlife: Avoiding the “Manifestly Absurd”
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In Norway, as in many other countries, a government-sponsored campaign against large carnivores was waged well into the twentieth century and eventually led to the disappearance of gray wolves (Canis lupus) from the country.1 ... -
Not just for programmers: How GitHub can accelerate collaborative and reproducible research in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Researchers in ecology and evolutionary biology are increasingly dependent on computational code to conduct research. Hence, the use of efficient methods to share, reproduce, and collaborate on code as well as document ... -
‘Not the Wolf Itself’: Distinguishing Hunters’ Criticisms of Wolves from Procedures for Making Wolf Management Decisions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Swedish hunters sometimes appeal to an inviolate ‘right to exist’ for wolves, apparently rejecting NIMBY. Nevertheless, the conditions existence hunters impose on wolves in practice fundamentally contradict their use of ... -
Novel large-scale mapping highlights poor state of sea trout populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. The state of sea trout in 1251 Norwegian watercourses was assessed based on a scoring system for human pressures, abundance data, and local knowledge. 2. Over 16,000 km of rivers and lakes were available to sea trout ... -
