Atlantic salmon in a rapidly changing environment—Facing the challenges of reduced marine survival and climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. Atlantic salmon populations have declined in recent decades. Many of the threats to the species during its freshwater and coastal residency periods are known, and management approaches are available to mitigate them. ... -
A camera trap-based assessment of climate-driven phenotypic plasticity of seasonal moulting in an endangered carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)For many species, the ability to rapidly adapt to changes in seasonality is essential for long-term survival. In the Arctic, seasonal moulting is a key life-history event that provides year-round camouflage and thermal ... -
Changes in growing season duration and productivity of northern vegetation inferred from long-term remote sensing data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Monitoring and understanding climate-induced changes in the boreal and arctic vegetation is critical to aid in prognosticating their future.Weused a 33 year (1982–2014) long record of satellite observations to robustly ... -
Climate and density-dependence cause changes in adult sex ratio in a large Arctic herbivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Peeters, B., V. Veiberg, A. Ø. Pedersen, A. Stien, R. J. Irvine, R. Aanes, B.-E. Sæther, O. Strand, and B. B. Hansen. 2017. Climate and density dependence cause changes in adult sex ratio in a large Arctic herbivore. ... -
Climate change induced molting mismatch? Mountain hare abundance reduced by duration of snowcover and predator abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In northern latitudes, species that have adapted to snow cover by molting and changing pelage color will be particularly vulnerable to climate change, as predation levels may increase due to a mismatch with background ... -
Concern about climate change, biodiversity loss, habitat degradation andlandscape change: Embedded in different packages of environmental concern?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change and biodiversity loss are often seen as the two most serious environmental threats facing humanity. It also seems to be a common notion that concerns about these issues are embedded in the same package of ... -
Consequences of past climate change and recent human persecution on mitogenomic diversity in the arctic fox
(Journal article, 2019)Ancient DNA provides a powerful means to investigate the timing, rate and extent of population declines caused by extrinsic factors, such as past climate change and human activities. One species probably affected by both ... -

Delayed egg‐laying and shortened incubation duration of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds coincide with climate cooling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Biological impacts of climate change are exemplified by shifts in phenology. As the timing of breeding advances, the within- season relationships between timing of breed-ing and reproductive ... -
Egg incubation temperature affects the timing of the Atlantic salmon Salmo salar homing migration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Here, we show that adult Atlantic salmon Salmo salar returned about 2 weeks later from the feeding areas in the North Atlantic Ocean to the Norwegian coast, through a phenotypically plastic mechanism, when they developed ... -
End-user involvement to improve predictions and management of populations with complex dynamics and multiple drivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sustainable management of wildlife populations can be aided by building models that both identify current drivers of natural dynamics and provide near-term predictions of future states. We employed a Strategic Foresight ... -
Extreme event impacts on CO2 fluxes across a range of high latitude, shrub-dominated ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Arctic is experiencing an increased frequency of extreme events which can cause landscape-scale vegetation damage. Extreme event-driven damage is an important driver of the decline in vegetation productivity (termed ... -
First pre-modern record of the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) in north-east Greenland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) is the largest falcon in the world. It inhabits a wide range of climate zones in the Northern Hemisphere, from boreal forests in the south of its range to the arid polar deserts of the High ... -
The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements
(Journal article, 2020)Qvenild T, Hesthagen T and Fjellheim A. 2020. The freshwater shrimp Gammarus lacustris (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in lakes on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, southern Norway: distribution and environmental requirements. ... -
The future distribution of wetland birds breeding in Europe validated against observed changes in distribution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Wetland bird species have been declining in population size worldwide as climate warming and land-use change affect their suitable habitats. We used species distribution models (SDMs) to predict changes in range dynamics ... -
Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as ... -
Impacts of predator-mediated interactions along a climatic gradient on the population dynamics of an alpine bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)According to classic theory, species’ population dynamics and distributions are less influenced by species interactions under harsh climatic conditions compared to under more benign climatic conditions. In alpine and boreal ... -
Impacts of snow season on ground-ice accumulation, soil frost andprimary productivity in a grassland of sub-Arctic Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Europe’s and the World’s northernmost agriculture is very vulnerable to harsh overwintering conditions. It is important from both an economic and societal standpoint to have accurate methods of predicting the severity ... -
Interactive effects of body mass changes and species-specific morphology on flight behavior of chick-rearing Antarctic fulmarine petrels under diurnal wind patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)For procellariiform seabirds, wind and morphology are crucial determinants of flight costs and flight speeds. During chick-rearing,parental seabirds commute frequently to provision their chicks, and their body mass ... -
