More than agriculture: Analysing time-cumulative human impact on European land-cover of second half of the holocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessment of past anthropogenic modifications of land-cover dynamics is key to understanding the human role in the Earth system. Recent advances in palaeoenvironmental sciences allow us to assess the long-term impacts of ... -
Movement and habitat selection of a large carnivore in response to human infrastructure differs by life stage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: The movement extent of mammals is influenced by human-modified areas, which can affect population demographics. Understanding how human infrastructure influences movement at different life stages is important ... -
National Parks in Northern Sweden as Refuges for Illegal Killing of Large Carnivores
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Large protected areas are often considered to be as important as population size in reducing extinction risk for large carnivores. However, the effectiveness of protected areas for large carnivore survival has rarely been ... -
A nature-based solution to a landfill-leachate contamination of a confined aquifer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Remediation of groundwater from landfill contamination presents a serious challenge due to the complex mixture of contaminants discharged from landfills. Here, we show the significance of a nature-based solution to a ... -

No change – no gain; The effect of age, sex, selected genes and training on physiological and performance adaptations in cross-country skiing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim was to investigate the effect of training, sex, age and selected genes on physiological and performance variables and adaptations before, and during 6 months of training in well-trained cross-country skiers. ... -
Non-small cell lung cancer is characterised by a distinct inflammatory signature in serum compared with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Development of lung cancer is closely related to smoking in a majority of patients. Most smokers, however, do not develop lung cancer in spite of a high mutational load accumulating in the lung tissue. Here we investigate ... -

Norwegian rock ptarmigan ectoparasites: chewing lice (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera) and feather mites (Astigmata, Psoroptidia)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Feather mites (Astigmata, Psoroptidia), quill mites (Prostigmata, Syringophilidae) and chewing lice (Phthiraptera) are prominent parts of avian ectoparasites communities. Much attention has been directed to chewing lice ... -
Novel terrestrial haul-out behaviour by ringed seals (Pusa hispida) in Svalbard, in association with harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ringed seals ( Pusa hispida ) are the most ice-associated of all Arctic pinnipeds. In the Svalbard area, this species has always given birth, moulted and rested on sea ice. In addition, much of their food has been comprised ... -
Odorant source used in Eurasian beaver territory marking
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)Mammals use urine, feces, or the secretion of specialized skin glands to mark their territories. These sources can carry different information and, thus, have different functions. Presently it is not known if beavers (Castor ... -
Optimal foraging by a large ungulate in an extreme environment: Wild mountain reindeer select snow-free feeding habitats in winter
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Optimal foraging models predict that individual animals will optimize net energy gain by intensifying forage activity and/or reducing forage energy cost. Then, the free distribution model predicts an animal's distribution ... -
OSL dating of Weichselian ice-free periods at Skorgenes, Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During recent years, many sites with sediments pre-dating the Last Glacial Maximum have been identified in formerly glaciated areas. As more and better dates are presented from these sites, the dynamic behaviour of the ... -
Parturition dates for Eurasian beavers Castor fiber: when should spring hunting cease?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)Hunting Eurasian beaver Castor fiber with firearms during late spring is the dominating harvest form in Norway but may violate the Norwegian wildlife management principle of not hunting during the breeding season. In ... -
Patterns of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae infection of three salmonid species in large, deep Norwegian lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Proliferative kidney disease (PKD), caused by the myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, is of serious ecological and economical concern to wild and farmed salmonids. Wild salmonid populations have declined ... -
Patterns, timing, and environmental drivers of growth in two coexisting green-stemmed Mediterranean alpine shrubs species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Mediterranean alpine is one of the most vulnerable ecosystems under future environmental change. Yet, patterns, timing and environmental controls of plant growth are poorly investigated. We aimed at an improved ... -
Patterns, timing, and environmental drivers of secondary growth in two physiologically distinct Mediterranean alpine shrub species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Alpine plants are particularly sensitive to climate change, and in the Mediterranean, less frequent winter cold and prolonged summer drought are expected to shift the growth patterns of species, altering their range and ... -
Performance of GPS units for deployment on semiaquatic animals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is widely used in wildlife research to study animal movement and habitat use. In order to evaluate the quality and reliability of GPS data, the factors influencing the performance ... -
