Linking public participation in scientific research to the indicators and needs of international environmental agreements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Different monitoring approaches collect data that can measure progress toward achieving global environmental indicators. These indicators can: (1) Audit management actions; (2) Inform policy choices; and (3) Raise awareness ... -
France as a staging and wintering area for Greylag Geese Anser anser
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)France is traditionally a staging area for Greylag Geese Anser anser migrating from northwest Europe to wintering sites in Spain, though increasing numbers have wintered in France over the last three decades. This paper ... -
The pink salmon invasion: a Norwegian perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In the period 1956–1979, more than 220 million of pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walbaum 1792) eggs from the southern part of Sakhalin Island in the Pacific Ocean were transported to the northwestern part of Russia ... -
Spatial variation in the evolutionary potential and constraints of basal metabolic rate and body mass in a wild bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in natural populations is ... -
Ecological and Social Dimensions of Ecosystem Restoration in the Nordic Countries. Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on Ecological Restoration in Northern Regions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)An international overview of the extent and type of ecological restoration can offer new perspectives for understanding, planning, and implementation. The Nordic countries, with a great range of natural conditions but ... -
Gutta på jakt. Jakt som arena for reproduksjon av arbeiderkultur
(Peer reviewed, 2013)Deltagende observasjon og intervjuer med svært unge jegere (gutter i alderen 15 til 21) viste at for noen ungdommer med arbeiderklassebakgrunn og som har gjort yrkesvalg som opprettholder en slik klasseposisjon, kan jakt ... -
Walking on the Dark Side: Anthropogenic Factors Limit Suitable Habitat for Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in a Large Natural Area Covering Belarus and Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is re-colonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but ... -
Short stories from Sphagnum of rare species, taxonomy, and speciation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conserving species and their genetic variation are a global priority to safeguard evolu-tionary potential in a rapidly changing world. Species are fundamental units in research and nature management, but taxonomic work is ... -
A test of local adaptation to drought in germination and seedling traits in populations of two alpine forbs across a 2000 mm/year precipitation gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Seed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to drought ... -
Words apart: Standardizing forestry terms and definitions across European biodiversity studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Forest biodiversity studies conducted across Europe use a multitude of forestry terms, often inconsistently. This hinders the comparability across studies and makes the assessment of the impacts of forest management on ... -
‘Bonkers but good!’ – Using illustration-based interview methods to understand land management and conservation visions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Forest biodiversity studies conduct Visions help to understand common ground and tensions among citizens and stakeholders, supporting inclusive land management and conservation solutions to the climate emergency and ... -
Managing small populations—using genetic data and trial translocations to help inform suitable conservation measures for the alpine blue-sowthistle (Cicerbita alpina) in Scotland
(Peer reviewed, 2023)Habitat fragmentation is causing an increasing amount of species loss around the world and creates problems at the population level. Many species are left as only small and isolated populations, which are vulnerable to ... -
Establishing a national pollinator action plan for Romania. Justifications and suggestions for establishing measures to support pollinator conservation
(NINA Rapport;2163, Research report, 2023)Stange, E., Rusch, G.M. & Sydenham, M. 2023. Establishing a national pollinator action plan for Romania: Justifications and suggestions for establishing measures to support pollinator conservation. 2022. NINA Report 2163. ... -
Chasing the bird: 3D acoustic tracking of aerial flight displays with a minimal planar microphone array
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tracking the flight patterns of birds and bats in three-dimensional space is central to key questions in evolutionary ecology but remains a difficult technical challenge. For example, complex aerial flight displays are ... -
Closing the gap between science and management of cold-water refuges in rivers and streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Human activities and climate change threaten coldwater organisms in freshwater eco-systems by causing rivers and streams to warm, increasing the intensity and frequency of warm temperature events, and reducing thermal ... -

(North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission. Technical Report, Research report, 2023)The Northern Hemisphere Pink Salmon Expert Group Meeting was held on October 2–3, 2022 in Vancouver, Canada, immediately preceding the International Year of the Salmon (IYS) Synthesis Symposium. The rapid expansion of pink ... -
Why humans kill animals and why we cannot avoid it
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Killing animals has been a ubiquitous human behaviour throughout history, yet it is becoming increasingly controversial and criticised in some parts of contemporary human society. Here we review 10 primary reasons why ... -
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
