Behavioral buffering of extreme weather events in a high-Arctic herbivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)As global warming advances, there is a growing concern about the impact of extreme weather events on ecosystems. In the Arctic, more frequent unseasonal warm spells and rain-on- snow events in winter cause changes in ... -
Co-adaptation is key to coexisting with large carnivores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)There is a pressing need to integrate large carnivore species into multi-use landscapes outside protected areas. However, an unclear understanding of coexistence hinders the realization of this goal. Here, we provide a ... -
Constraining forest certificate's market to improve cost-effectiveness of biodiversity conservation in São Paulo state, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The recently launched Brazilian ªforest certificatesº market is expected to reduce environmental compliance costs for landowners through an offset mechanism, after a long history of conservation laws based in command-and-control ... -
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 ... -
Ecosystem response to climatic change: the importance of the cold season
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Winter climate and snow cover are the important drivers of plant community development in polar regions. However, the impacts of changing winter climate and associated changes in snow regime have received much less attention ... -
Identification and evaluation of 21 novel microsatellite markers from the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata) is a cyclically outbreaking forest Lepidoptera with circumpolar distribution and substantial impact on Northern ecosystems. We have isolated 21 microsatellites from the species to ... -
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 ... -
Locating human-wildlife interactions: landscape constructions andresponses to large carnivore conservation in India and Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)People’s reactions to large carnivores take many forms, ranging from support and coexistence to resistance and conflict. While these reactions are the outcome of many different factors, in this paper we specifically ... -
Stylonectria norvegica (Nectriaceae), a new species fromNorway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Stylonectria norvegica sp. nov. is described from three collections on pyrenomycetous hosts on Quercus, Betula and Alnus in Norway. The fusarium-like asexual state was obtained in culture and the ITS1- 5.8S-ITS2 loci ... -
Temperature and vegetation seasonality diminishment over northern lands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Global temperature is increasing, especially over Northern lands (>50 N), owing to positive feedbacks. As this increase is most pronounced in winter, temperature seasonality (ST)—conventionally defined as the difference ... -
The use of external electronic tags on fish: an evaluation of tag retention and tagging effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)External tagging of fish with electronic tags has been used for decades for a wide range of marine and freshwater species. In the early years of fish telemetry research, it was the most commonly used attachment method, ... -
Using ordinary digital cameras in place of near-infrared sensors to derive vegetation indices for phenology studies of high arctic vegetation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To remotely monitor vegetation at temporal and spatial resolutions unobtainable with satellite-based systems, near remote sensing systems must be employed. To this extent we used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index ... -
Variations in coastal fish species composition captured by traps in Romsdalsfjord, Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Fish traps are widely used in Norwegian fjords, especially those designed for monitoring salmonid populations in the marine environment, although many other marine fish species are also captured. The composition and ... -
Where do the treeless tundra areas of northern highlands fit in the global biome system: toward an ecologically natural subdivision of the tundra biome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)According to some treatises, arctic and alpine sub-biomes are ecologically similar, whereas others find them highly dissimilar. Most peculiarly, large areas of northern tundra highlands fall outside of the two recent ... -
Wildlife in a Politically Divided World: Insularism Inflates Estimates of Brown Bear Abundance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Political borders dictate how biological diversity is monitored and managed, yet wild animals often move freely between jurisdictions. We quantified bias in brown bear (Ursus arctos) abundance estimates introduced when ...
