The value of hyperspectral UAV imagery in characterizing tundra vegetation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of low-growth Arctic tundra landscapes necessitates the use of high- spatialresolution remote sensing data for accurate detection of vegetation patterns. While multispectral satellite ... -
The relationships between biotic uniqueness and abiotic uniqueness are context dependent across drainage basins worldwide
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Context Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a decline in biodiversity, more so in freshwater than in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the research on freshwaters lags behind terrestrial ... -
An overview of kelt migration in regulated rivers: status, knowledge gaps, and future directions toward safe downstream passage at hydropower facilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) kelts have important conservation value for population resilience. Nonetheless, relative to other salmonid life-stages, ... -
High niche specificity and host genetic diversity of groundwater viruses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Viruses are key members of microbial communities that exert control over host abundance and metabolism, thereby influencing ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycles. Aquifers are known to host taxonomically diverse ... -
Sensitivity to network perturbations in the randomized shortest paths framework: theory and applications in ecological connectivity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The randomized shortest paths (RSP) framework, developed for network analysis, extends traditional proximity and distance measures between two nodes, such as shortest path distance and commute cost distance (related to ... -
Group 2i Isochrysidales thrive in marine and lacustrine systems with ice cover
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Global warming is causing rapid changes to the cryosphere. Predicting the future trajectory of the cryosphere requires quantitative reconstruction of its past variations. A recently identified sea-ice-associated haptophyte, ... -
Dynamics of cold-water dinoflagellates in the northern Baltic Sea based on 18S rRNA gene metabarcoding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Cold-water dinoflagellates contribute significantly to spring blooms in temperate coastal waters. In the northern Baltic Sea, Peridiniella catenata, Apocalathium malmogiense, Gymnodinium corollarium, and Biecheleria baltica ... -
The battle against the introduced pathogenic monogenean Gyrodactylus salaris in Norwegian Atlantic salmon rivers and fish farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The introduced salmonid ectoparasite Gyrodactylus salaris has been detected on Atlantic salmon in 53 Norwegian rivers and in 39 Norwegian fish farms. In affected rivers, the mortality of Atlantic salmon juveniles is very ... -
Evolution and genetic architecture of sex-limited polymorphism in cuckoos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Sex-limited polymorphism has evolved in many species including our own. Yet, we lack a detailed understanding of the underlying genetic variation and evolutionary processes at work. The brood parasitic common cuckoo (Cuculus ... -
Continuing recovery of wolves in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)The recovery of wolves (Canis lupus) across Europe is a notable conservation success in a region with extensive human alteration of landscapes and high human population densities. We provide a comprehensive update on wolf ... -
Movement in 3D: Novel Opportunities for Understanding Animal Behaviour and Space Use
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Animals move in three spatial dimensions, but many animal movement tools have only focused on the use of 2D coordinates for modelling space use, habitat selection, behavioural classification, social interactions and movement. ... -
Daytime cooling efficiencies of urban trees derived from land surface temperature are much higher than those for air temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Accurately capturing the impact of urban trees on temperature can help optimize urban heat mitigation strategies. Recently, there has been widespread use of remotely sensed land surface temperature (Ts) to quantify the ... -
Molecular Analysis of the Accuracy of Phenotypic Sex Assessment by Anglers in Norwegian Atlantic Salmon Fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)A management regulation applied in some recreational Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fisheries is a moratorium on harvest of female fish, which can only be effective if recreational anglers can consistently discriminate ... -
Post-fledging movements of Atlantic Puffins Fratercula arctica from Skomer Island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The movements of seabirds during the immature period generally remain poorly understood, primarily due to the challenges involved with tracking birds that do not regularly return to a nest. This knowledge gap prevents us ... -
Atlantic populations of a declining oceanic seabird have complex migrations and weak migratory connectivity to staging areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Anthropogenic change is impacting ecosystems globally, causing declines in bio diversity. Long-distance migrants are particularly susceptible, as they depend on conditions over large geographical scales and are likely to ... -
Unraveling microbial processes involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gas emissions in rewetted peatlands by molecular biology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Restoration of drained peatlands through rewetting has recently emerged as a prevailing strategy to mitigate excessive greenhouse gas emissions and re-establish the vital carbon sequestration capacity of peatlands. Rewetting ... -
Different approaches to estimate benthic metazoan diversity associated with free-living macroalgae (Fucus vesiculosus) on shallow soft sediments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Habitat complexity can boost biodiversity by providing a wide range of niches allowing species co-existence. Baltic Sea benthic communities are characterised by low species diversity. Thus the occurrence of the habitat ... -
Shifting from techno-economic to socio-ecological priorities: Incorporating landscape preferences and ecosystem services into the siting of renewable energy infrastructure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This study examines the siting scenarios for renewable energy installations (REI) in a mountainous region of Europe (Switzerland), incorporating the external costs of ecosystem services and, innovatively, social preferences. ... -
Comparing methods and indices for biodiversity and status assessment in a hydropower-regulated river
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) aims to achieve good status of aquatic habitats. Classification of ecological status and identifying the stressors impacting aquatic habitats is essential for achieving this aim. Here, ... -
