Shining a light on elusive lynx: Density estimation of three Eurasian lynx populations in Ukraine and Belarus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Eurasian lynx is a large carnivore widely distributed across Eurasia. However, our understanding of population status is heterogeneous across their range, with some populations isolated that are at risk of reduced ... -
Similarity of Campylobacter lari among human, animal, and water isolates in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)A total of 49 isolates of Campylobacter lari from human, poultry, ducks, pigs, and water were genetically characterized. The species were identified by biotyping and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Automatic ... -
Simulated winter browsing may lead to induced susceptibility of willows to beavers in spring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Browsing may lead to an induced resistance or susceptibility of the plant to the herbivore. We tested the effect of winter browsing by Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber L., 1758) on food quality of holme willows (Salix ... -
Simulations of the Holocene climate in Europe using an interactive downscaling within the iLOVECLIM model (version 1.1)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study presents the application of an interactive downscaling in Europe using iLOVECLIM (a model of intermediate complexity), increasing its atmospheric resolution from 5.56 to 0.25∘ kilometric. A transient simulation ... -
Size is not everything: differing activity and foraging patterns between the sexes in a monomorphic mammal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Animals balance foraging with other activities, and activity patterns may differ between sexes due to differing physical requirements and reproductive investments. Sex-specific behavioural differences are common in sexually ... -
Social environment shapes female settlement decisions in a solitary carnivore
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)How and where a female selects an area to settle and breed is of central importance in dispersal and population ecology as it governs range expansion and gene flow. Social structure and organization have been shown to ... -
Socio-ecological features other than sex affect habitat selection in the socially obligate monogamous Eurasian beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-11)Habitat selection is a context-dependent mechanism, in which both the internal state as well as external factors affect the behavior and decisions of an individual. This is well known for polygamous mammals, which are ... -
Sociodemographic factors modulate the spatial response of brown bears to vacancies created by hunting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. There is a growing recognition of the importance of indirect effects from hunting on wildlife populations, e.g. social and behavioural changes due to harvest, which occur after the initial offtake. Nonetheless, little ... -
Soft resilience: moisture-dependent lichen elasticity buffer herbivore trampling in cold alpine-tundra ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Herbivores may have extensive top-down effects in open grazing ecosystems, generating vegetation changes by grazing and trampling. Trampling effects are understudied, but may be a major ecological factor. In cold alpine-Arctic ... -
Soil temperature variation in calciphile mountain plant communities in Southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Soil temperature dynamics are considered to be of great importance for alpine plant life. The aim of this study was to analyse differences in soil temperature parameters between and within exposed ridges, leesides, and ... -
Spatial and temporal trends of mercury in freshwater fish in Fennoscandia (1965-2015)
(NIVA-rapport;, Research report, 2017)Mercury (Hg) emissions to the atmosphere cause elevated Hg levels in fish, even in many remote regions of the world. Here we present an extensive database of more than 50 000 measurements of Hg in fish, including 2 775 ... -
Spatial and temporal variability in summer diet of gray wolves (Canis lupus) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The role of predation by large carnivores in suppressing prey populations and structuring ecosystems is highly debated, calling for a detailed understanding of carnivore diets. Wolves (Canis lupus) roam across three ... -
Spatiotemporal and seasonal dynamics in the microbial communities of a landfill-leachate contaminated aquifer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The microbiome of an aquifer contaminated by landfill leachate and undergoing intrinsic remediation was characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding. The archaeal/bacterial V3–V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was ... -
A stochastic event-based approach for flood estimation in catchments with mixed rainfall and snowmelt flood regimes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The estimation of extreme floods is associated with high uncertainty, in part due to the limited length of streamflow records. Traditionally, statistical flood frequency analysis and an event-based model (PQRUT) using a ... -
Strutseving (Matteúccia struthiópteris (L.) Tod.) - en vanlig bregneart som kan bli en gourmetgrønnsak også i Norge. Litteraturoversikt
(Bioforsk TEMA;, Research report, 2007)Det finnes et landbruksprodukt som er sterkt etterspurt i deler av USA og Canada, men som synes å være nesten ukjent i Europa. Produktet har blitt beskrevet som ”en smakfull og næringsrik grønnsak”. Råvaretilgangen og ... -
Subspecies discrimination in the Scandinavian beaver (Castor fiber): combining behavioral and chemical evidence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)Geographic isolation is one of several models that has been proposed to explain the evolutionary course of speciation. In this study, we examined how geographical isolation may affect subspecies discrimination in the ... -
Superoxide dismutase polymorphisms in wild populations of herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae)
(Journal article, 2003)Polymorphism of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was investigated in leaves of herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae). The plants were collected during the summer and autumn of 2001 from different natural locations in ... -
Survival Trends of Right- and Left-Sided Colon Cancer across Four Decades: A Norwegian Population-Based Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Patients with right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC) differ clinically and molecularly. The main objective was to investigate stage-stratified survival and recurrence of RCC and LCC ... -
A tale of tails: the use of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) tails for ageing and individual identification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With increasing technology and knowledge, the range of methods used to monitor wildlife is growing. As many invasive techniques have been shown to negatively impact study populations, the use of non-invasive methods is ... -
