Alien species and the Water Framework Directive: Recommendations for assessing ecological status in fresh waters in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. Invasive alien species are recognized as a significant anthropogenic threat to freshwater ecosystems, because they may bring about the local extinction of native species and the collapse of habitat types of special ... -
Assessing climatic and spatial variables influencing zooplankton richness for space-for-time predictions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. The macroecological drivers of freshwater diversity are accredited geographical, spatial and climatic variables, but also to productivity, ecosystem age and landscape history. Locally diversity is also influenced ... -
Distribution and patterns of spread of recolonising Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber Linnaeus 1758) in fragmented habitat, Agdenes peninsula, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The Agdenes peninsula, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway, 1060km2, is a heavily dissected mountainous landscape with numerous small watersheds, of mainly steep gradient, flowing separately into the sea or to fjords. Suitable habitat ... -
Evolution, ecology and conservation - revisiting three decades of Arctic fox population genetic research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Three decades have passed since the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was first put into a population genetic perspective. With the aim of addressing how microevolution operates on different biological levels, we here review ... -
Metapopulation regulation acts at multiple spatial scales: Insights from a century of seabird colony census data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Density-dependent feedback is recognized as important regulatory mechanisms of population size. Considering the spatial scales over which such feedback operates has advanced our theoretical understanding of metapopulation ... -
Model-based decomposition of environmental, spatial and species-interaction effects on the community structure of common fish species in 772 European lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aim: We tested whether there is a strong effect of species interactions on assembly of local lake fish communities, in addition to environmental filters and dispersal. Location: Seven hundred and seventy-two European lakes ... -
Movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) in a small stream, determined by radiotelemetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This article reports on the results of the first radiotelemetric field study comparing the movement patterns of juvenile and adult noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) over the 24-h cycle. During our study (in summer, outside ... -
The role of familial conflict in home range settlement and fitness of a solitary mammal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Journal of evolutionary biology Blackwell/wileyFamilial conflict, including parenteoffspring conflict (POC) and sibling competition (SC), occurs when an individual maximizes its access to a limiting resource at the expense ... -
Zooplankton diversity and dispersal by birds; Insights from different geographical scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Given the major ecological and evolutionary role of dispersal abilities for organisms, as well as the current interest in species’ potential for further migration and colonization as a result of climatic changes or ...
