Behaviour and habitat use of first-time migrant Arctic charr: novel insights from a subarctic marine area
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anadromous Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus is a cold-adapted salmonid that is vul nerable to climate warming and anthropogenic activities including salmon farming, hydropower regulation, and pollution, which poses a ... -
Recovery of vegetation on former alpine roads: how long does it take?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Alpine areas worldwide are under heavy land-use pressure and degradation. Active restoration treatments can contribute to accelerating recovery of degraded areas. However, monitoring data are needed to understand the ... -
The paradox of searching efficiency or why are violent population cycles so uncommon in terrestrial ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The searching efficiency of predators depends on the balance between the adaptations of the predator and the counter-adaptations of the prey. In this evolutionary race, the prey should normally have the upper hand, as it ... -
A synthesis of multi-taxa management experiments to guide forest biodiversity conservation in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Most European forests are used for timber production. Given the limited extent of unmanaged (and especially primary) forests, it is essential to include commercial forests in the conservation of forest biodiversity. ... -
Ecological effects of mosquito control with Bti: evidence for shifts in the trophic structure of soil- and ground-based food webs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The microbial control agent Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) has been successfully used worldwide to reduce abundances of biting Nematocera (Diptera), often with little direct impact on non-target organisms ... -
Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis reveals a high level of dietary specialization in killer whales across the North Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
A retrospective investigation of feather corticosterone in a highly contaminated white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as organochlorines (OCs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), is associated with adverse health effects in wildlife. Many POPs have been banned and conse ... -
Global analysis of seasonal changes in trematode infection levels reveals weak and variable link to temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Seasonal changes in environmental conditions drive phenology, i.e., the annual timing of biological events ranging from the individual to the ecosystem. Phenological patterns and successional abundance cycles have been ... -
Thermal Effects on Ecological Traits of Salmonids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Here, I review thermal influences on metabolic rates and aerobic scope; growth; adult body size; and reproductive and behavioural traits, such as tendency and timing of the migration of salmonid fishes. A thermal window ... -
Regional Diversity of Maritime Antarctic Soil Fungi and Predicted Responses of Guilds and Growth Forms to Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We report a metabarcoding study documenting the fungal taxa in 29 barren fellfield soils sampled from along a 1,650 km transect encompassing almost the entire maritime Antarctic (60–72°S) and the environmental factors ... -
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 ... -
The wild boar Sus scrofa in northern Eurasia: a review of range expansion history, current distribution, factors affecting the northern distributional limit, and management strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)1. The wild boar Sus scrofa is one of the most widely distributed large mammal species in the world, existing on all continents except Antarctica. In the late 20th Century, its geographical range expanded naturally and ... -
Science on ecosystems and people to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Behavioral responses of terrestrial mammals to COVID-19 lockdowns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we compared movements and road avoidance of ... -
Understanding the drivers of extensive plant damage in boreal and Arctic ecosystems: Insights from field surveys in the aftermath of damage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The exact cause of population dieback in nature is often challenging to identify retrospectively. Plant research in northern regions has in recent decades been largely focussed on the opposite trend, namely increasing ... -
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 ... -
Estimating lichen volume and reindeer winter pasture quality from Landsat imagery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Reindeer and caribou are keystone species in the circumpolar region, and rely on lichens as their main winter forage to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Lichen mats, however, can be heavily ... -
Modelled sensitivity of avian collision rate at wind turbines varies with number of hours of flight activity input data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Collision risk modelling of birds at wind turbines typi-cally requires vantage point (VP) data to quantify birdflight activity. The number of VP observation hoursrequired to provide such data, and the associated error ... -
Habitat Utilization in White-Tailed Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) and the Displacement Impact of the Smøla Wind-Power Plant
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)On average, 7.8 white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) collide with wind turbines annually at the operating wind-power plant on the island of Smøla off the coast of central Norway. To better understand the impact of ... -
Effect of mesh size on baited trap catch composition for noble crayfish (Astacus Astacus)
