Estimation of lichen biomass with emphasis on reindeer winter pastures at Hardangervidda, S Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Quantification of lichen abundance is important for management of reindeer populations. We measured dry lichen biomass in 876 micro plots (16.5 cm - 16.5 cm) systematically sampled within 219 vegetation plots (2 m - 2 m) ... -
Effect of latitude and mountain height on the timberline (Betula pubescens ssp. czerpanovii) elevation along the central Scandinavian mountain range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Previously published isoline maps of Fennoscandian timberlines show that their highest elevations lie in the high mountain areas in central south Norway and from there the limits decrease in all directions. These maps are ... -
Colonizing the high arctic: Mitochondrial DNA reveals common origin of Eurasian archipelagic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In light of current debates on global climate change it has become important to know more on how large, roaming species have responded to environmental change in the past. Using the highly variable mitochondrial control ... -
The Hardangervidda wild reindeer herd: a problematic management history
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The unique and internationally important wild reindeer Rangifer tarandus herd on the Hardangervidda plateau of southern Norway has shown frequent and extreme fluctuations in harvest numbers for the past 60 years, despite ... -
Invasive North American beaver Castor canadensis in Eurasia: a review of potential consequences and a strategy for eradication
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12)Seven North American beavers Castor canadensis (Cc) were introduced into Finland in 1937 to supplement an ongoing reintroduction of the nearly extinct Eurasian beaver C. fiber (Cf). At that time, many zoologists recognised ... -
Use of linear and areal habitat models to establish and distribute beaver Castor fiber harvest quotas in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In Norway the Eurasian beaver Castor fiber harvest is quota-regulated. Once the annual quota for each municipality has been determined it is distributed to landowner-organized beaver management units. Municipal wildlife ... -
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 ... -
The growth and phenology patterns of herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae): relation to soil and air temperatures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)The phenology and development of Paris quadrifolia L. has been related to variations in soil and air temperatures during four seasons (1997-2000). Its emergence appeared to be strongly dependant on soil temperature. Plants ... -
Variation in the structure of Matteuccia struthiopteris populations in Lithuania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Demographic data and associated phytosociological and environmental variables were sampled from 25 populations dominated by the fern M. struthiopteris studied in different parts of Lithuania. The main aim was to study the ... -
Analysis of DNA polymorphism in wild populations of herb-Paris (Paris quadrifolia L., Trilliaceae) from Lithuania and Norway.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to determine genetic diversity within the populations of herb-Paris plant from Lithuania and Norway. RAPD analyses have shown 21.9 ± 5.2% of polymorphic loci in ... -
Importance of mountain height and latitude for the altitudinal distribution limits of vascular plants in Scandinavia: are the mountains high enough?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)The main aim of the present paper was to study regional differences in the altitudinal distribution limits of vascular plants in relation to mountain height and latitudinal position. Altitudinal limits from previously ... -
The Use of Acceleration to Code for Animal Behaviours; A Case Study in Free-Ranging Eurasian Beavers Castor fiber
