Forestry and environmental conditions as determinants of pine marten Martes martes occurrence in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European pine marten Martes martes is often associated with late seral stage coniferous forest stands. Earlier research has indicated that this species may be nega-tively influenced by clearcutting practices. However, ... -
Integration of a Frost Mortality Scheme Into the Demographic Vegetation Model FATES
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Frost is damaging to plants when air temperature drops below their tolerance threshold. The set of mechanisms used by cold-tolerant plants to withstand freezing is called “hardening” and typically take place in autumn to ... -
How effective are perches in promoting bird‑mediated seed dispersal for natural forest regeneration? A systematic review protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Forest landscape restoration (FLR), often through tree planting, is one of the priorities in many global and national initiatives for carbon offsetting as part of climate change mitigation and biodiversity ... -
Local buffer mechanisms for population persistence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessing and predicting the persistence of populations is essential for the conservation and control of species. Here, we argue that local mechanisms require a better conceptual synthesis to facilitate a more holistic ... -
Home-range, movements and use of powerline poles of Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) at an island population in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A dense island population of Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) close to the Arctic circle had suffered considerable mortality due to powerlines (electrocution and collision) throughout many decades. A study using GPS transmitter ... -
The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)wing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1 . Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have ... -
Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Demographic correlations are pervasive in wildlife populations and can represent important secondary drivers of population growth. Empirical evidence suggests that correlations are in general positive for long-lived ... -
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 ... -
Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon grow, migrate and disperse throughout the Arctic Ocean like wild salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)This paper describes the first observations of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Arctic Ocean. Among 138 individuals of Atlantic salmon captured at the west coast of the Spitsbergen Island at Svalbard in ... -
Density of Wild Prey Modulates Lynx Kill Rates on Free-Ranging Domestic Sheep
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Understanding the factors shaping the dynamics of carnivore–livestock conflicts is vital to facilitate large carnivore conservation in multi-use landscapes. We investigated how the density of their main wild prey, roe deer ... -
Combined effects of long-term feeding, population density and vegetation green-up on reindeer demography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Abstract. Large herbivores living in seasonal environments are generally food-limited through density dependence and climatic factors. This may result in starvation and increased mortality in winter and reduced fecundity ... -
Tracking animals in freshwater with electronic tags: past, present and future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Considerable technical developments over the past half century have enabled widespread application of electronic tags to the study of animals in the wild, including in freshwater environments. We review the constraints ... -
Activity patterns of Eurasian lynx are modulated by light regime and individual traits over a wide latitudinal range
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The activity patterns of most terrestrial animals are regarded as being primarily influenced by light, although other factors, such as sexual cycle and climatic conditions, can modify the underlying patterns. However, most ... -
Performance of hunting statistics as spatiotemporal density indices of moose (Alces alces) in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Wildlife managers are often asking for reliable information of population density across larger spatial scales. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal relationships between moose density as estimated by cohort ... -
A natural antipredation experiment: predator control and reduced sea ice increases colony size in a long-lived duck
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Anthropogenic impact on the environment and wildlife are multifaceted and far-reaching. On a smaller scale, controlling for predators has been increasing the yield from local natural prey resources. Globally, human-induced ... -
Using short-term monitoring data to achieve goals in a large-scale restoration
(Peer reviewed, 2013)To evaluate the outcome of restoration projects, an overall goal, reformulated to specific subgoals or targets, must be explicit and translated into scientifically measurable ecological attributes. Monitoring ecological ... -
AS WE SEE IT Reared fish, farmed escapees and wild fish stocks-a triangle of pathogen transmission of concern to Mediterranean aquaculture management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Although aquaculture in the Mediterranean is a relatively young industry, finfish dis eases have been reported to cause considerable problems and mortalities among the farmed stocks. In general, the farming activity and ... -
Development and testing of attachment methods for pop-up satellite archival transmitters in European eel
(Peer reviewed, 2013)Background: Four methods for attaching pop-up satellite transmitters to European eel were tested in the laboratory by recording long-term tag retention, growth and survival; short-term behavioral responses; and physical ... -
Body condition and feather molt of a migratory shorebird during the non-breeding season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Migratory shorebirds have some of the highest fat loads among birds, especially species which migrate long distances. The upland sandpiper Bartramia longicauda makes long distance migrations twice a year, but variation ... -
Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters ...
