Gastropod grazing may prevent reintroduction of declining N-fixing epiphytic lichens in broadleaved deciduous forests
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We studied the potential to use reintroduction of two declining N-fixing flagship lichens to identify factors affecting failure or success in SW Swedish sites that had experienced substantially reduced acidification. After ... -
Gene flow from domesticated escapes alters thelife history of wild Atlantic salmon
(Journal article, 2017)Interbreeding between domesticated and wild animals occurs in several species. This gene flow has long been anticipated to induce genetic changes in life-history traits of wild populations, thereby influencing population ... -
Generic genetic differences between farmed and wild Atlantic Salmon identified from a 7K SNP-chip
(Peer reviewed, 2011)Genetic interactions between farmed and wild conspecifics are of special concern in fisheries where large numbers of domesticated individuals are released into the wild. In the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), selective ... -
Genes suggest ancestral colour polymorphisms are shared across morphologically cryptic species in Arctic Bumblebees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Our grasp of biodiversity is fine-tuned through the process of revisionary taxonomy. If species do exist in nature and can be discovered with available techniques, then we expect these revisions to converge on broadly ... -
Genetic and demographic history define a conservation strategy for earth’s most endangered pinniped, the Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is a flagship species for marine conservation, but important aspects of its life history remain unknown. Concerns over imminent extinction motivated a nuclear DNA study of ... -
Genetic characterization of free-ranging Asiatic wild ass in Central Asia as a basis for future conservation strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Loss of genetic diversity due to drift and inbreeding reduces a population’s ability to respond to environmental change and may result in inbreeding depression. The Asiatic wild ass (Equus hemionus), regionally also known ... -
Genetic evidence of farmed straying and introgression in Swedish wild salmon populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon represent a well-documented and ongoing threat to wild conspecific populations. In Norway, the world-leading producer of farmed salmon, annual monitoring of straying and genetic introgression ... -
Genome-wide diversity loss in reintroduced Eurasian lynx populations urges immediate conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Reintroductions may produce populations that suffer from decreasing genetic diversity due to isolation, genetic drift and inbreeding if not assisted by careful management. To assess the genetic outcomes of reintroductions ... -
Geographic variation in the intensity of warming and phenological mismatch between Arctic shorebirds and invertebrates
(Peer reviewed, 2019)Responses to climate change can vary across functional groups and trophic levels, leading to a temporal decoupling of trophic interactions or “phenological mismatches.” Despite a growing number of single-species studies ... -
Global change and ecosystem connectivity: how geese link fields of central Europe to eutrophication of Arctic freshwaters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Migratory connectivity by birds may mutually affect different ecosystems over large distances. Populations of geese overwintering in southern areas while breeding in high-latitude ecosystems have increased strongly ... -
Global fading of the temperature–growth coupling at alpine and polar treelines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of climate change, a global ... -
Global phenological insensitivity to shifting ocean temperatures among seabirds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Reproductive timing in many taxa plays a key role in determining breeding productivity1, and is often sensitive to climatic conditions2. Current climate change may alter the timing of breeding at different rates across ... -
A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalvemolluscs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instru-mental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to ... -
Globally consistent climate sensitivity of natural disturbances across boreal and temperate forest ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Disturbance regimes are changing in forests across the world in response to global climate change. Despite the profound impacts of disturbances on ecosystem services and biodiversity, assessments of disturbances at the ... -
GMSE: an R package for generalised management strategy evaluation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Management strategy evaluation MSE is a powerful tool for simulating all key aspects of natural resource management under conditions of uncertainty. 2. We present the R package GMSE, which applies genetic algorithms ... -
Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as ... -
Goose management schemes to resolve conflicts with agriculture:Theory, practice and effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In 2012, the four countries hosting the Svalbard population of pink-footed goose Anser brachyrhynchus along its flyway launched an International Species Management Plan for the population. One of the aims was to reduce ... -
Governance of ecosystem services: A framework for empirical analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Biodiversity conservation policies justified with science and intrinsic value arguments have produced disappointing outcomes, and the need for conservation is now being additionally justified with the concept of ecosystem ... -
Grazing and warming effects on shrub growth and plant
(Peer reviewed, 2019)Questions: Vegetation in the forest–tundra ecotone faces changes in both climate and land‐use. While climate warming is an important driver of vegetation growth and composition, herbivory may have opposing effects. In ...
