Multiple stakeholders’ perspectives of marine social ecological systems, a case study on the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Barents Sea ecosystem components and services are under pressure from climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. Following an Ecosystem-based management approach, multiple simultaneous pressures are addressed ... -
Altitude, latitude, and climate zone as determinants of mountain hare (Lepus timidus) coat colour change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Captive breeding of European freshwater mussels as aconservation tool: A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Freshwater mussels are declining throughout their range. Their importantecological functions along with insufficient levels of natural recruitment haveprompted captive breeding for population augmentation and questions ... -
Long-term increase in female body condition and its effect on reproduction in two European red-listed species, Common Pochard (Aythya ferina) and Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Body condition of breeding females is an important driver of an individual’s fitness and the consequent dynamics of populations. Long-term changes in female body condition are likely to be affected by recent shifts in ... -
Villrein og vannkraft: Kan regionale planprosesser gjøre en forskjell?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Wild Reindeer and hydropower: Can regional planning processes make a difference? -
Ecological consequences of a single introduced species to the Antarctic: terrestrial impacts of the invasive midge Eretmoptera murphyi on Signy Island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The nutrient-poor soils of Antarctica are sensitive to change. Recent increases in the number of anthropogenic introductions mean that understanding the impact of non-native species on Antarctic soils is pertinent, and ... -
Colony-nesting gulls restrict activity levels of a native top carnivore during the breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although nesting in colonies can offer substantial reproductive benefits formany seabird species, increased visibility to predators remains a significant dis-advantage for most colony-breeders. To counteract this, some ... -
Hypothyroidism in hibernating brown bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Brown bears hibernate throughout half of the year as a survival strategy to reduce energy consumption during prolonged periods with scarcity of food and water. Thyroid hormones are the major endocrine regulators of basal ... -
Consequences of “natural” disasters on aquatic life and habitats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)“Natural” disasters (also known as geophysical disasters) involve physical processes that have a direct or indirect impact on humans. These events occur rapidly and may have severe consequences for resident flora and fauna ... -
Estimating and managing broad risk of chronic wasting disease spillover among cervid species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The management of infectious wildlife diseases often involves tackling pathogens that infect multiple host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that can infect most cervid species. CWD was detected in ... -
Wild versus domestic prey: Variation in the kill-site behavior of two large felids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock depredation is an important source of conflict for many terrestrial large carnivore species. Understanding the foraging behavior of large carnivores on domestic prey is therefore important for both mitigating ... -
Identifying bottlenecks in the life cycle of plants living on cliffs and rocky slopes: Lack of knowledge hinders conservation actions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Long term survival of plant populations relies on successful reproductive cycle to obtain generation turnover. Focusing on plant species of conservation concern, we brought together a group of plant conservationists from ... -
A new species of jupati, genus Metachirus Burmeister 1854 (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) for the Brazilian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The brown or pouchless four-eyed opossums or jupatis represent the genus Metachirus with a wide geographical range in the Neotropics. Recent studies show distinct monophyletic clades with high genetic divergence and ... -
100 key questions to guide hydropeaking research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak-operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing attention. In this study, we collected open research ... -

Bias and precision of crowdsourced recreational activity data from Strava
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recreational activity is the single most valuable ecosystem service in many developed countries with a range of benefits for public health. Crowdsourced recreational activity data is increasingly being adopted in management ... -

Planktonic ciliate community driven by environmental variables and cyanobacterial blooms: A 9-year study in two subtropical reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)It is well-established that environmental variability and cyanobacterial blooms have major effects on the assembly and functioning of bacterial communities in both marine and freshwater habitats. It remains unclear, however, ... -
Hunting for ecological indicators: are large herbivore skeleton measures from harvest data useful proxies for monitoring?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hunter-collected data and samples are used as indices of population performance, and monitoring programs often take advantage of such data as ecological indicators. Here, we establish the relationships between measures of ... -
The role of non-English-language science in informing national biodiversity assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Consulting the best available evidence is key to successful conservation decision-making. While much scientific evidence on conservation continues to be published in non-English languages, a poor understanding of how ...
