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, 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
(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 ... -

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, 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 ... -
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 ... -
Acute toxicity testing of the tire rubber-derived chemical 6PPD-quinone on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent identification of 6PPD-quinone as the chemical causing acute toxicity in coho salmon has led to substantial concern regarding toxicity of this contaminant for other aquatic species. Environmental occurrence of ... -
Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between phenotype and environment, i.e. whether observed trait ... -
Advancing restoration ecology: A new approach to predict time to recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species composition as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting ... -
Age of European silver eels during a period of declining abundance in Norway
(Journal article, 2020)The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered throughout its range. Knowledge about age distribution of future spawners (silver eels) is essential to monitor the status and contribute to the recovery of ... -
Age-Related Mercury Contamination and Relationshipwith Luteinizing Hormone in a Long-Lived Antarctic Bird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Seabirds, as long-lived top predators, accumulate contaminants such as mercury (Hg), an established endocrine disruptor. In long lived species hormonal secretion varies with age; therefore, Hg-induced endocrine disruption ... -
