100 key questions to guide hydropeaking research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak-operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing attention. In this study, we collected open research ... -
175 years of adaptation: North Scandinavian Sámi reindeer herding between government policies and winter climate variability (1835–2010)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Unmanaged wild reindeer populations tend to follow cyclical behaviour, and domesticatedreindeer populations often show cyclical behaviour, too. In this contribution, we intendto use the long-term development of two areas ... -
3-D Numerical Study of a Bottom Ramp Fish Passage Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Worldwide, the overwhelming number of man-made barriers in fluvial systems has been identified as one of the major causes of the reported staggering average declines of migratory fish. Fish passages have been shown to help ... -
3D modelling of non-uniform and turbulent flow in vertical slot fishways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Global stocks of freshwater fish have been on the decline for decades, driven in part by the obstruction of their migration routes by anthropogenic barriers. To mitigate such impacts, fishways have been developed to ... -
A catch-22 conflict: Access to semi-domestic reindeer modulatesEurasian lynx depredation on domestic sheep
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Conserving large carnivores in multi-use landscape is a global challenge. In northern Norway the presence of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) conflicts greatly with the current ways of keeping free-grazing, unguarded livestock ... -
A Century of Conservation: The Ongoing Recovery of Svalbard Reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) populations have experienced recent population declines, often attributed to anthropogenic stressors such as harvesting, landscape fragmentation, and climate change. Svalbard ... -
A continent-wide search for Antarctic petrel breeding sites with satellite remote sensing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Antarctic petrel (Thalassoica antarctica) has been identified as a key species for monitoring the status and health of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic ecosystems. Breeding colonies of the Antarctic petrel are often ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The Antarctic petrel (Thalassoica antarctica) has been identified as a key species for monitoring the status and health of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic ecosystems. Breeding colonies of the Antarctic petrel are often ... -
A method that accounts for differential detectability in mixed samples of long-term infections with applications to the case of Chronic Wasting Disease in cervids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Surveillance of wildlife diseases is logistically difficult, and imperfect detection is a recurrent challenge for disease estimation. Using citizen science can increase sample sizes, but it is associated with a cost in ... -
A Migratory Divide Among Red-Necked Phalaropes in the Western Palearctic Reveals Contrasting Migration and Wintering Movement Strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Non-breeding movement strategies of migratory birds may be expected to be flexibly adjusted to the distribution and quality of habitat, but few studies compare movement strategies among populations using distinct migration ... -
A multiplex microsatellite set for non-invasive genotypingand sexing of the osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)During the 1950s and 1970s the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) experienced a dramatic population crash and remains of conservation concern in several parts of the world. We isolated 37 microsatellite loci and assessed these in ... -
A new valuation school: Integrating diverse values of nature in resource and land use decisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We are increasingly confronted with severe social and economic impacts of environmental degradation all over the world. From a valuation perspective, environmental problems and conflicts originate from trade-offs between ... -
A preliminary overview of the corticioid Atractiellomycetes (Pucciniomycotina, Basidiomycetes)
(Journal article, 2018)The taxonomy of the corticioid fungi from the class Atractiellomycetes (Pucciniomycotina, Basidiomycetes) currently addressed to the genus Helicogloea, is revised based on morphological and nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS and ... -
A probabilistic algorithm to process geolocation data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: The use of light level loggers (geolocators) to understand movements and distributions in terrestrial and marine vertebrates, particularly during the non-breeding period, has increased dramatically in recent ... -
A review of acoustic telemetry in Europe and the need for a regional aquatic telemetry network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Globally, there are a large and growing number of researchers using biotelemetry as a tool to study aquatic animals. In Europe, this community lacks a formal network structure. The aim of this study is to review ... -
A road in the middle of one of the last wild reindeer migration routes in Norway: crossing behaviour and threats to conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The development of roads and associated infrastructure has interrupted several traditional migrations of wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway. The population in the Setesdal Austhei wild reindeer area still ... -
A stage-structured Bayesian hierarchical model for salmon lice populations at individual salmon farms – Estimated from multiple farm data sets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Salmon farming has become a prosperous international industry over the last decades. Along with growth in the production farmed salmon, however, an increasing threat by pathogens has emerged. Of special concern is the ... -
Accelerating advances in landscape connectivity modelling with the ConScape library
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Increasingly precise spatial data (e.g. high-resolution imagery from remote sensing) allow for improved representations of the landscape network for assessing the combined effects of habitat loss and connectivity declines ... -
The accuracy and precision of age determination by dental cementum annuli in four northern cervids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Individual age is an important element in models of population demographics, but the limitations of the methods used for age determination are not always clear. We used known-age data from moose (Alces alces), red deer ... -
Activity patterns of Eurasian lynx are modulated by light regime and individual traits over a wide latitudinal range
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The activity patterns of most terrestrial animals are regarded as being primarily influenced by light, although other factors, such as sexual cycle and climatic conditions, can modify the underlying patterns. However, most ...
