Factors influencing return rate and marine residence durationin sea trout populations in Central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Brown trout (Salmo trutta) display extensive plasticity in marine migratory behaviours, with marine migrations considered to be an adaptive strategy which enables sea trout to maximize growth and reproductive potential. ... -
Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are ... -
Failure to coordinate management in transboundary populations hinders the achievement of national management goals: The case of wolverines in Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-09)Large carnivores are expanding in Europe, and their return is associated with con- flicts that often result in policies to regulate their population size through culling. Being wide-ranging species, their populations are ... -
Faunistic data and biology on the subfamily Cerocephalinae (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae) including the first record of Theocolax formiciformis Westwood, 1832 from Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A single specimen of Theocolax formiciformis Westwood, 1832 is reported together with new data on Cerocephala cornigera Westwood, 1832 and Cerocephala rufa (Walker, 1833) in Norway. Notes on the mating behaviour of C. ... -
Feasibility and knowledge gaps to modeling circumpolar seabird bycatch in the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Alteration and diminution in sea ice cover in the Arctic region will give rise to an intensifcation and expansion of fishing activities in the Arctic and associated marginal seas. Increased fshing activity, especially in ... -
Feasibility of active handheld NDVI sensors for monitoring of lichen ground cover
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vegetation indices are corner stones in vegetation monitoring. However, previous field studies on lichens and NDVI have been based on passive sensors. Active handheld sensors, with their own light sources, enables high- ... -
Feasibility of hyperspectral vegetation indices for the detection of chlorophyll concentration in three high Arctic plants: Salix polaris, Bistorta vivipara, and Dryas octopetala
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Remote sensing, which is based on a reflected electromagnetic spectrum, offers a wide range of research methods. It allows for the identification of plant properties, e.g., chlorophyll, but a registered signal not only ... -
Feather Corticosterone Levels on Wintering GroundsHave No Carry-Over Effects on Breeding among ThreePopulations of Great Skuas (Stercorarius skua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Environmental conditions encountered by migratory seabirds in their wintering areas can shape their fitness. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms remain largely unknown as birds are relatively inaccessible ... -
Fecundity and water flow influence the dynamics of Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Populations are retained at reduced levels by resource competition and environmental stochasticity. In the Norwegian River Imsa, the relationship between fecundity of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawners and number of ... -
Female sociality and kin discrimination in brood parasitism: Unrelated females fight over egg laying
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)In conspecific brood parasitism, some females (“parasites”) lay eggs in nests of other females of the same species (“hosts”). This reproductive tactic is particularly common in waterfowl, in which studies suggest that ... -
Femti år etter utsettingene av mysis (Mysis relicta) og firetornet istidskreps (Pallasiola quadrispinosa) i norske innsjøer: til gagn eller skade?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Krepsdyra Mysis relicta (mysis, pungreke) og Pallasiola quadrispinosa (firetornet istidskreps, heretter kalt pallasea) forekommer i Norge naturlig i noen innsjøer på Østlandet. Etter utsettinger i regulerte innsjøer i ... -

Fine-scale behavioural differences distinguish resource use by ecomorphs in a closed ecosystem
(Journal article, 2016)Temporal differences in habitat use and foraging specialisms between ecomorphs represent aspects of behavioural phenotype that are poorly understood with regard to the origin and maintenance of ecological diversity. We ... -
Fire and herbivory drive fungal and bacterial communities through distinct above- and belowground mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Fire and herbivory are important natural disturbances in grassy biomes. Both drivers are likely to influence be- lowground microbial communities but no studies have unravelled the long-term impact of both fire and herbiv- ... -
Fire and herbivory shape soil arthropod communities through habitat heterogeneity and nutrient cycling in savannas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Soil arthropods are important components of savannas, contributing to nutrient cycling and thus primary productivity. To investigate how fire and mammalian herbivores influ- ence arthropod food webs, we used two long term ... -
The firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) new to the Norwegian fauna – with an explosive expansion in Northern Europe
(Journal article, 2020)The Firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) is presented new to the Norwegian fauna. Several hundred individuals were observed in a residential area in southeast Norway, centred around two ... -
First case of chronic wasting disease in Europe in a Norwegian free‑ranging reindeer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal contagious prion disease in cervids that is enzootic in some areas in North America. The disease has been found in deer, elk and moose in the USA and Canada, and in South Korea ... -
