Agonimia globulifera new to mainland Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)During an excursion to Vetvika, Bremanger municipality in Sogn og Fjordane in search of rare bryo-phytes, the first author made a collection of small black perithecia overgrowing bryophytes on shellsand. The collection was ... -
Air pollution declines during COVID-19 lockdowns mitigate the global health burden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The lockdown response to COVID-19 has resulted in an unprecedented reduction in global economic activity and associated air pollutant levels, especially from a decline in land transportation. We utilized a network of >10,000 ... -
Alien plants, animals, fungi and algae in Norway: an inventory of neobiota
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present the results of an inventory and status assessment of alien species in Norway. The inventory covered all known multicellular neobiota, 2496 in total, 1039 of which were classified as naturalised. The latter ... -
Alien species and the Water Framework Directive: Recommendations for assessing ecological status in fresh waters in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Invasive alien species are recognized as a significant anthropogenic threat to freshwater ecosystems, because they may bring about the local extinction of native species and the collapse of habitat types of special ... -
Alien species in Norway: results from quantitative ecological impact assessments
(Journal article, 2020)1. Due to globalisation, trade and transport, the spread of alien species is increasing dramatically. Some alien species become ecologically harmful by threatening native biota. This can lead to irreversible changes in ... -
Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment
(Journal article, 2019)Tallis, Heather; Kreis, Katharine; Olander, Lydia; Ringler, Claudia; Ameyaw, David; Borsuk, Mark E.; Fletschner, Diana; Game, Edward; Gilligan, Daniel O.; Jeuland, Marc; Kennedy, Gina; Masuda, Yuta J.; Mehta, Sumi; Miller, ... -
Allelic Variation in a Willow Warbler Genomic Region Is Associated with Climate Clines
(Journal article, 2014)Local adaptation is an important process contributing to population differentiation which can occur in continuous or isolated populations connected by various amounts of gene flow. The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) ... -
Allometric scaling of intraspecific space use
(Peer reviewed, 2016)Allometric scaling relationships enable exploration of animal space-use patterns, yet interspecific studies cannot address many of the underlying mechanisms.We present the first intraspecific study of home range (HR) ... -
Alpine bullhead (Cottus poecilopus Heckel): a potential refuge for Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 (Monogenea)
(Peer reviewed, 2019)The notifiable freshwater pathogen Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 tends to be a generalist in contrast to other monogeneans. Whilst it causes most damage to its primary host, the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus), ... -
Alpine garden plants from six continents show high vulnerability to ice encasement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Icy surfaces impose challenges for northern societies, wildlife and agriculture. However, there have been relatively few studies of the impacts of anoxic ground ice on non-agricultural plants. During the winter of 2009–2010, ... -
An illustrated key to the cuckoo wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) of the Nordic and Baltic countries, with description of a new species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The Chrysididae are a group of cleptoparasitic and parasitoid aculeate wasps with a large number of rare and endangered species. The taxonomy of this group has long been confusing due to the similarity of species and ... -
Analyzing procedural equity in government-led community-based forest management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Participatory approaches to forest management have been promoted as a means of returning rights historically removed, and as a way of managing natural resources sustainably, fairly, and to improve livelihoods in communities. ... -
Anisomeridium viridescens and Arthopyrenia callunae, two pyrenolichens new to Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Lichens with perithecioid ascomata (‘pyrenolichens’), especially weakly lichenized species, are poorly known in Norway, and Fennoscandia. Several new country records for Norway have been published recently (Nordén et al. ... -
Annual adult survival drives trends in Arctic-breeding shorebirds but knowledge gaps in other vital rates remain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Conservation status and management priorities are often informed by population trends. Trend estimates can be derived from population surveys or models, but both methods are associated with sources of uncertainty. Many ... -
Antarctic petrels ‘on the ice rocks’: wintering strategy of an Antarctic seabird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is a paucity of information on the foraging ecology, especially individual use of sea-ice features and icebergs, over the non-breeding season in many seabird species. Using geolocators and stable isotopes, we defined ... -
Anti-parasite treatment and blood biochemistry in raptor nestlings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We investigated the effects of parasite removal on various blood clinical–chemical variables (BCCVs). BCCVs are indicators of health, reflecting, e.g., homeostasis of liver, kidney function, and bone metabolism. The study ... -
Application of Landsat-derived vegetation trends over South Africa: Potential for monitoring land degradation and restoration
(Peer reviewed, 2020)Monitoring vegetation change is important because the nature, extent and rate of change in key measures, such as plant biomass, cover and species composition, provides critical insight into broader environmental and land ... -
Arctic avian predators synchronise their spring migration with the northern progression of snowmelt
