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 ... -
Can habitat selection predict abundance?
(Journal article, 2015). Habitats have substantial influence on the distribut ion and abundance of animals. Ani- mals’ selective mo vement yields their habitat use. Animals generally are more abundant in habitats that are selected most strongly. 2. ... -
There is more to climate than the North Atlantic Oscillation: a new perspective from climate dynamics to explain the variability in population growth rates of a long-lived seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Predicting the impact of global climate change on the biosphere has become one of the most important efforts in ecology. Ecosystems worldwide are changing rapidly as a consequence of global warming, yet our understanding ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Could Have Gone Wrong: Effects of Abrupt Changes in Migratory Behaviour on Harvest in a Waterbird Population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)To sustainably exploit a population, it is crucial to understand and reduce uncertainties about population processes and effects of harvest. In migratory species, management is challenged by geographically separated changing ... -
Does Catch-and-Release Angling Alter the Behavior and Fate of Adult Atlantic Salmon During Upriver Migration?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)To reproduce, Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar return to freshwater rivers and migrate upriver to spawning areas. This migration is the basis for recreational fisheries, which for conservation reasons are increasingly characterized ... -
Habitat connectivity and intra-population structure of an estuary-dependent fishery species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Habitat connectivity is a fundamental component of estuary-associated fish behaviour. Understanding this is critical to understanding population dynamics and the nursery role of estuarine habitats. This study aimed to ... -
Corticosterone, prolactin and egg neglect behavior in relation to mercury and legacy POPs in a long-lived Antarctic bird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Seabirds often have high loads of contaminants. These contaminants have endocrine disrupting properties but their relationships with some endocrine mechanisms are still poorly investigated in free-living organisms. This ... -
MIAT: Modular R-wrappers for flexible implementation of MaxEnt distribution modelling
(Journal article, 2015) -
Migration, growth patterns, and diet of pike (Esox lucius) in a riverreservoir and its inflowing river
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The pike population in the Løpsjøen reservoir and the accessible 21 km section of the inflowing RiverRena was investigated from 2003 to 2013. Telemetry and mark-recapture with Floy tags demonstratedthat most fish had an ... -
Forage fish abundance is a predictor of timing of breeding and hatching brood size in a coastal seabird
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Current and future climate alterations might impact ecological processes like timing of breeding. We used multivariate linear models to assess the importance of food availability and climate on timing of breeding and ... -
Climatic and biotic extreme events moderate long-term responses of above- and belowground sub-Arctic heathland communities to climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Climate change impacts are not uniform across the Arctic region because interacting factors causes large variations in local ecosystem change. Extreme climatic events and population cycles of herbivores occur simultaneously ... -
Legal implications of range expansions in a terrestrial carnivore: the case of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Europe
(Journal article, 2015)Due to global environmental changes, species are appearing more frequently in places where they have not previously occurred, and this trend is expected to continue. Such range expansions can create considerable challenges ... -
Differential barrier and corridor effects of power lines,roads and rivers on moose (Alces alces) movements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)uilding new power lines is required to satisfy increasing demands for the transmission of electricity, and at the same time the road network is expanding. To provide guidelines for the routing of new power lines and ... -
Evaluating interactions of forestconservation policies on avoided deforestation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)We estimate the effects on deforestation that have resulted from policy interactions between parks and payments and between park buffers and payments in Costa Rica between 2000 and 2005. We show that the characteristics ... -
Evolutionary analysis of the female-specific avianW chromosome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The typically repetitive nature of the sex-limited chromosome means that it is often excluded from or poorly covered in genome assemblies, hindering studies of evolutionary and population genomic processes in non-recombining ... -
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 ... -
Leukocyte coping capacity as a tool to assess capture- and handling-induced stress in Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Brown bears (Ursus arctos) are often captured and handled for research and management purposes. Although the techniques used are potentially stressful for the animals and might have detrimental and long-lasting consequences, ... -
Transmission dynamics of the monogenean Gyrodactylus salaris under seminatural conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
