At which spatial and temporal scales can fungi indicate habitat connectivity?
Nordén, Jenni; Åström, Jens; Josefsson, Torbjörn; Blumentrath, Stefan; Ovaskainen, Otso; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Nordén, Björn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Isolation of habitats in space and time affects species globally and in a multitude of ecosystems. It is however often difficult to assess the level of isolation from the point of view of the focal species. Indicator species ... -
Beetles provide directed dispersal of viable spores of a keystone wood decay fungus
Lunde, Lisa Fagerli; Boddy, Lynne; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Kauserud, Håvard; Birkemoe, Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wood decay fungi are considered to be dispersed by wind, but dispersal by animals may also be important, and more so in managed forests where dead wood is scarce. We investigated whether beetles could disperse spores of ... -
Do conservation measures in forest work? A comparison of three area-based conservation tools for wood-living species in boreal forests
Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Bendiksen, Egil; Birkemoe, Tone; Larsson, Karl-Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Loss of natural forests and decline in forest biodiversity has led to several policy initiatives in recent years. Despite this, the importance of smaller set-asides vs forest reserves for conservation measures is poorly ... -
Effect of Habitat Size, Quality, and Isolation on Functional Groups of Beetles in Hollow Oaks
Pilskog, Hanne Eik; Birkemoe, Tone; Framstad, Erik; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)One of the largest threats to biodiversity is land use change and habitat loss. Hollow oaks (Quercus spp. L.) are welldefined patches that are hotspots for biodiversity and red-listed species, but they are often rare and ... -
Exclusion of invertebrates influences saprotrophic fungal community and wood decay rate in an experimental field study
Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Kauserud, Håvard; Mundra, Sunil; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Decomposer communities perform an essential ecosystem function by recycling nutrients. However, the effect of higher trophic levels on microbial decomposer communities and rate of decomposition is poorly understood. We ... -
Habitat connectivity affects specialist species richness more than generalists in veteran trees
Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Skarpaas, Olav; Blumentrath, Stefan; Birkemoe, Tone; Evju, Marianne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Intensified human land use continues to increase habitat loss and fragmentation, and leads to a homogenization of biodiversity. Specialized species with narrow niches seem to be declining more rapidly than generalist ... -
Long-lasting effects of logging on beetles in hollow oaks
Pilskog, Hanne Eik; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Evju, Marianne; Framstad, Erik; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is growing evidence that biodiversity is important for ecosystem functions. Thus, identification of habitat requirements essential for current species richness and abundance to persist is crucial. Hollow oaks (Quercus ... -
Near-natural forests harbor richer saproxylic beetle communities than those in intensively managed forests
Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Burner, Ryan C.; Olsen, Siri Lie; Skarpaas, Olav; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne (Journal article, 2020)Globally, boreal forests cover 33 percent of Earth's forested area, constitute the largest terrestrial carbon source, and house an important biodiversity of forest-dependent species, many of which are saproxylic taxa reliant ... -
Numerical responses of saproxylic beetles to rapid increases in dead wood availability following geometrid moth outbreaks in sub-arctic mountain birch forest
Laksforsmo Vindstad, Ole Petter; Schultze, Sabrina; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Biuw, Erik Martin; Kapari, Lauri Teemu; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Ims, Rolf Anker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Saproxylic insects play an important part in decomposing dead wood in healthy forest ecosystems, but little is known about their role in the aftermath of large-scale forest mortality caused by pest insect outbreaks. We ... -
Overvåking av sjeldne og rødlistede lavpå gamle eiker – lærdommer fra etpilotstudium

Prediction of biodiversity hotspots in the Anthropocene: The case of veteran oaks
Skarpaas, Olav; Blumentrath, Stefan; Evju, Marianne; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Over the past centuries, humans have transformed large parts of the biosphere, and there is a growing need to understand and predict the distribution of biodiversity hotspots influenced by the presence of humans. Our basic ... -
Revealing hidden insect–fungus interactions; moderately specialized, modular and anti-nested detritivore networks
Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Kauserud, Håvard; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Ecological networks are composed of interacting communities that influence ecosystem structure and function. Fungi are the driving force for ecosystem processes such as decomposition and carbon sequestration in terrestrial ... -
Setting reference levels and limits for good ecological condition in terrestrial ecosystems – Insights from a case study based on the IBECA approach
Jakobsson, Simon; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Evju, Marianne; Framstad, Erik; Lyngstad, Anders; Pedersen, Bård; Sickel, Hanne; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Vandvik, Vigdis; Velle, Liv Guri; Aarrestad, Per Arild (Journal article, 2020)Effective evidence-based nature conservation and habitat management relies on developing and refining our methodological toolbox for detecting critical ecological changes at an early stage. This requires not only optimizing ... -
