Multifaceted density dependence: Social structure and seasonality effects on Serengeti lion demography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Interactions between density and environmental conditions have important effects on vital rates and consequently on population dynamics and can take complex pathways in species whose demography is strongly influenced ... -
Long-term changes in taxonomic and functional composition of European marine fish communities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Evidence of large-scale biodiversity degradation in marine ecosystems has been reported worldwide, yet most research has focused on few species of interest or on limited spatiotemporal scales. Here we assessed the spatial ... -
New forms of home blindness: Rethinking fieldwork methods in digitalized environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Digital Anthropology has in the past two decades emerged as a field that seeks to better grasp experiences of being human within digital technology and culture. However, digital technology is today so entangled in everyday ... -
Regional impacts of warming on biodiversity and biomass in high latitude stream ecosystems across the Northern Hemisphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Warming can have profound impacts on ecological communities. However, explorations of how differences in biogeography and productivity might reshape the effect of warming have been limited to theoretical or proxy-based ... -
Ecological interactions between farmed Atlantic salmon and wild Atlantic cod populations in Norway: A review of risk sources and knowledge gaps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Aquaculture provides an important and expanding source of protein rich and healthy food to the world. However, to minimize environmental harm from aquaculture, interactions with wild fish communities need to be thoroughly ... -
The great tit HapMap project: A continental-scale analysis of genomic variation in a songbird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A major aim of evolutionary biology is to understand why patterns of genomic diversity vary within taxa and space. Large-scale genomic studies of widespread species are useful for studying how environment and demography ... -
Elucidating nematode diversity and prevalence in moose across a wide latitudinal gradient using DNA metabarcoding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Parasitic nematodes are ubiquitous and can negatively impact their host by reducing fecundity or increasing mortality, yet the driver of variation in the parasite community across a wildlife host’s geographic distribution ... -
Assessing Movements between Freshwater and Saltwater by Brown Trout (Salmo trutta L.) Based on Otolith Microchemistry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)By analyzing otolith microchemistry, we examined the use of freshwater and marine environments by brown trout Salmo trutta L. that spawn in the Swedish River Emån and migrate to the Baltic Sea. We estimated the time juveniles ... -
Time series of freshwater macroinvertebrate abundances and site characteristics of European streams and rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Freshwater macroinvertebrates are a diverse group and play key ecological roles, including accelerating nutrient cycling, fltering water, controlling primary producers, and providing food for predators. Their diferences ... -
Assessing the potential of camera traps for estimating activity pattern compared to collar-mounted activity sensors: a case study on Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx in south-eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The diel activity patterns of animals convey information about physiology, ecological niches and animal behaviour relevant for both applied conservation and more theoretical research. However, these patterns are challenging ... -
Extra-pair paternity and sperm length variation in a far northern Great Tit (Parus major) population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Extra-pair paternity is common among socially monogamous bird species and considered an important driver of post-copulatory sexual selection on ejaculate traits including sperm traits. Patterns of extra-pair paternity and ... -
“ClusterApp”: A Shiny R application to guide cluster studies based on GPS data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The rapid evolution of GPS devices, and therefore, collection of GPS data can be used to investigate a wide variety of topics in wildlife research. The combination of remotely collected GPS data with on-the- ground field ... -
Ontogenetic variation in the marine foraging of Atlantic salmon functionally links genomic diversity with a major life history polymorphism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The ecological role of heritable phenotypic variation in free-living populations remains largely unknown. Knowledge of the genetic basis of functional ecological processes can link genomic and phenotypic diversity, providing ... -
DNA profiles of shed Taiga Bean Goose feathers indicate between-season fidelity to moulting sites in Swedish Lapland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Recently, the Taiga Bean Goose Anser f. fabalis breeding population of Southern Lapland, Sweden, was shown to use a network of local sites during their summer wing moult. We used microsatellite markers to identify individual ... -
Large-scale avian vocalization detection delivers reliable global biodiversity insights
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Tracking biodiversity and its dynamics at scale is essential if we are to solve global environmental challenges. Detecting animal vocalizations in passively recorded audio data offers an automatable, inexpensive, and ... -
