Behaviour and mortality of downstream migrating Atlantic salmon smolts at a small power station with multiple migration routes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Salmon smolts were released upstream of a run‐of‐river hydropower site and recaptured downstream for inspection. Descending fish behaviour through three possible migration routes (turbines, fishway, spillway) was analysed ... -
Behaviour and survival of wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar captured and released while surveillance angling for escaped farmed salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In many Norwegian rivers, spawning stocks are surveyed for escaped farmed salmon with surveillance fishing by rod and reel after the recreational angling season. However, the benefits of surveillance fishing depend on the ... -
Behaviour of anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a hydropower regulated freshwater system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Many Norwegian rivers and lakes are regulated for hydropower, which afects freshwater ecosystems and anadromous fish species, such as sea trout (Salmo trutta). Lakes are an important feature of many anadromous river systems. ... -
Behavioural and demographic changes in impala populations after 15 years of improved conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many protected areas (PAs) have been created globally in response to the dramatic human- induced decline in biodiversity. However, not all PAs successfully preserve their biodiversity and continued monitoring is vital to ... -
Being stressed outside the park — conservation of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The conservation of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is of prime importance for many African countries. Interactions between elephants and humans are known to induce stress and thereby have the potential ... -
Bending the curve: Operationalizing national Red Lists to customize conservation actions to reduce extinction risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Human activity is accelerating biodiversity loss despite international commitments to prevent extinction and habitat degradation. To bend the curve, international goals must be translated into national targets and actions. ... -
Benefits of protected areas for nonbreeding waterbirds adjusting their distributions under climate warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species show a so-called climatic debt, where shifts in range have lagged behind faster shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside ... -
Benefits of restoring ecosystem services in urban areas
(Journal article, 2015)Cities are a key nexus of the relationship between people and nature and are huge centers of demand for ecosystem services and also generate extremely large environmental impacts. Current projections of rapid expansion of ... -
Benthic macroinvertebrates in lake ecological assessment: A review of methods, intercalibration and practical recommendations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Legislation in Europe has been adopted to determine and improve the ecological integrity of inland and coastal waters. Assessment is based on four biotic groups, including benthic macroinvertebrate communities. For lakes, ... -
Berry production drives bottom – up effects on body mass and reproductive success in an omnivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Obligate herbivores dominate studies of the eff ects of climate change on mammals, however there is limited empirical evidence for how changes in the abundance or quality of plant food aff ect mammalian omnivores. Omnivores ... -
Best practice for the use of scenarios for restoration planning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Scenarios are important tools to facilitate the communication among scientists, practitioners, and decision-makers, and, thus to support policy and management decisions. The use of scenarios has an enormous potential ... -
Best practice—Is natural revegetation sufficient to achieve mitigation goals in road construction?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aims: The area influenced by road construction is large, and measures to re-establish vegetation in disturbed areas are routinely carried out to reduce impacts on biodiversity. However, goals of mitigation measures are ... -
Besøksforvaltning i hyttekommuner – spenninger mellom tradisjon og destinasjon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)I artikkelen introduserer og diskuterer vi besøksforvaltning som redskap for hyttekommuner i fjellet. Vi søker å forstå og forklare spenningene som utløste hytteopprøret i Vinje i 2021, gjennom å undersøke hvordan hytteturister ... -
Bias and precision of crowdsourced recreational activity data from Strava
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recreational activity is the single most valuable ecosystem service in many developed countries with a range of benefits for public health. Crowdsourced recreational activity data is increasingly being adopted in management ... -
Bias in estimates of electrofishing capture probability of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We evaluated the effect of the total number of passes used, and the application of block nets, on multi-pass electrofishing removal sampling for estimating juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) abundance and body size ... -
Big-data approaches lead to an increased understanding of the ecology of animal movement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and management have transformed our understanding of ... -
Bigger, more diverse and better? Mapping structural diversity and its recreational value in urban green spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-07)Are bigger green spaces more diverse in terms of their natural and manmade elements? Does higher diversity mean they are more attractive to users and encourage more diversity of activities, and thereby provide a wider range ... -
