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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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

Arctic browning: extreme events and trends reversing arctic greening

Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) re-established in a formerly acidified and highly dilute mountain lake under declining acidic deposition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Arctic charr in Rondvatn, a formerly highly acidified mountain lake in southern Norway, was re-established through stocking. The population became extinct during the early 1980s when the lake had an annual mean pH of ... -
Arctic greening from warming promotes declines in caribou populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Themigratory tundra caribou herds in North America follow decadal population cycles, and browsing from abundant caribou could be expected to counteract the current climate-driven expansion of shrubs in the circumpolar ... -
Area use and movement patterns of wild and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon before and during spawning in a large Norwegian river
(Journal article, 2016)We compared the within-river movements and distribution of wild and escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar before and during spawning in the Namsen river system of Central Norway. A total of 74 wild and 43 escaped ... -
Assessing ecosystem services from multifunctional trees in pastures using Bayesian belief networks

Assessing incidental bycatch of seabirds in Norwegian coastal commercial fisheries: Empirical and methodological lessons
(Peer reviewed, 2015)With diminishing seabird populations and little knowledge on incidental bycatch in fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic, this study aimed to screen seabird bycatch in Norwegian coastal fisheries in 2009. The purpose was ... -
Assessing the consequences of habitat fragmentation for two migratory salmonid fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)1. Man-made barriers such as dams affect the movement of aquatic species, reducing gene flow and Genetic variability. Such encroachments may also lead to selective changes in life history and behaviour. Hydropower construction ...
