Key insights for the future of urban ecosystem services research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Understanding the dynamics of urban ecosystem services is a necessary requirement for adequate planning, management, and governance of urban green infrastructure. Through the three-year Urban Biodiversity and Ecosystem ... -
Key to hysterioid fungi on bark and wood in Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The lack of useful determination keys is often a major obstacle for naming species of Ascomycota, especially for the amateur mycologist. One group of fungi in need of a key are species of Dothideomycetes with hysterioid ... -
Killer whale movements on the Norwegian shelf are associated with herring density
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Killer whales Orcinus orca have a cosmopolitan distribution with a broad diet rang ing from fish to marine mammals. In Norway, killer whales are regularly observed feeding on overwintering Norwegian spring-spawning (NSS) ... -
Killing with kindness: when hunters want to let you know they care
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Care’ is a term that hunters increasingly apply to diverse practices pertaining to their interactions with wildlife. In this article, we investigated the extent and durability of hunters’ use of care language, including ... -
The King of the Forest: Local Knowledge About European Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) and Implications for Their Conservation in Contemporary Western Macedonia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)From a conservation point of view, Macedonia’s brown bear (Ursus arctos) population appears to be a key link in the distribution of one of Europe’s largest brown bear populations, the Dinaric-Pindos population. The lack ... -
Knock-on effects of environmental influences during embryonic development of ecothermic vertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Environmental factors influencing parents or offspring during embryogenesis can have knock-on effects at later life stages of the offspring. These effects may prepare the progeny for conditions that they may encounter as ... -
Labeling Farmed Seafood: A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Food labels help consumers choose products in line with their food attitudes and preferences. As the market for farmed seafood grows, it is important for producers to meet consumer demand for credence characteristics like ... -
Lack of Cascading Effects of Eurasian Lynx Predation on Roe Deer to Soil and Plant Nutrients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study examines the extent to which above-ground trophic processes such as large carnivore predation on wild ungulates can cause cascading effects through the provision of carrion resources to below-ground ecosystem ... -
Lack of genetic structure in greylag goose (Anser anser) populations along the European Atlantic flyway
(Journal article, 2015)Greylag goose populations are steadily increasing in north-western Europe. Although individuals breeding in the Netherlands have been considered mainly sedentary birds, those fromScandinavia or northern Germany fly towards ... -
Landscape relatedness: detecting contemporary fine-scalespatial structure in wild populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Context Methods for detecting contemporary, finescale population genetic structure in continuous populations are scarce. Yet such methods are vital for ecological and conservation studies, particularly under a changing ... -
Landscape selection by migratory geese: Implications for hunting organisation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Over the last decades, many wild goose populations have increased significantly and are now causing conflicts with socioeconomic and biological interests. To mitigate impacts of rapid population increases, population control ... -
Land‑based foraging by polar bears reveals sexual conflict outside mating season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)According to sexual selection theory, the sexes are faced with opposing evolutionary goals. Male fitness benefits from access to females, whereas female fitness is constrained by food resources and safety for themselves ... -
Large carnivore conservation and traditional pastoralism: A case study on bear–reindeer predation mitigation measures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)While wildlife and cultural preservation goals can be either complimentary orcounteractive, the goals of large carnivore conservation and traditional pastoralist lifestyles are often at odds. Livestock depredation can ... -
Large herbivore migration plasticity along environmental gradients in Europe: life-history traits modulate forage effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The most common framework under which ungulate migration is studied predicts that it is driven by spatio–temporal variation in plant phenology, yet other hypotheses may explain differences within and between species. To ... -
Large scale modelling of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)infection pressure based on lice monitoring data from Norwegian salmonid farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Infection by parasitic sea lice is a substantial problem in industrial scale salmon farming. To controlthe problem, Norwegian salmonid farms are not permitted to exceed a threshold level of infection ontheir fish, and farms ... -
Large-scale avian vocalization detection delivers reliable global biodiversity insights
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Tracking biodiversity and its dynamics at scale is essential if we are to solve global environmental challenges. Detecting animal vocalizations in passively recorded audio data offers an automatable, inexpensive, and ... -
Large-scale segregation of tourists and wild reindeer in three Norwegian
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The challenge to harmonize nature-based tourism with species conservation is important both from an economic, cultural and ecological perspective. One approach for understanding this interaction is to compare the spatiotemporal ... -
Large-scale spatial variation of chronic stress signals in moose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The physiological effects of short-term stress responses typically lead to increased individual survival as it prepares the body for fight or flight through catabolic reactions in the body. These physiological effects trade ... -
The last moves: The effect of hunting and culling on the risk of disease spread from a population of reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Hunting and culling are frequently used to combat infectious wildlife diseases. The aim is to markedly lower population density in order to limit disease transmission or to eradicate the host. Massive host culling can ...
