Behavioural responses of brown bears to roads and hunting disturbance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Harvest regulations commonly attenuate the consequences of hunting on specific segments of a population. However, regulations may not protect individuals from nonlethal effects of hunting and their consequences remain ... -
Lone male loser? Effects of spatial isolation on male pairing success in the ortolan bunting Emberiza hortulana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In small, isolated or fragmented bird populations, past studies have shown that there can be a high proportion of unpaired males. Low male pairing success is suggested to be the result of female-biased natal dispersal and ... -
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 ... -
Hibernation ecology of brown bears in Sweden
(Chapter, 2023)Hibernation is an adaptive strategy to cope with unfavourable environmental conditions. Bears are the only large mammal that use this strategy during winter. They reduce their body temperature by several degrees and their ... -
Phylogenetic relationships of the Amblyomma cajennense complex (Acari: Ixodidae) at mitogenomic resolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The genus Amblyomma is the third most diverse in the number of species within the Ixodidae, with practically half of its species distributed in the Americas, though there are also species occurring in Africa, Asia, and ... -
A camera trapping method for the targeted capture of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) tails for individual scale pattern recognition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Camera traps are commonly used to monitor and study wild animals in their natural habitat, with minimal disturbance. Several investigations have shown that the natural markings of animals for some species can be used for ... -
Individual recognition of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) by their tail patterns using a computer-assisted pattern-identification algorithm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Individual recognition of animals is an important aspect of ecological sciences. Photograph-based individual recognition options are of particular importance since these represent a non-invasive method to distinguish and ... -
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 ... -
Annual ring width in the mediterranean-alpine shrub species Cytisus galianoi - dataset from long-term alpine ecosystem research in the Sierra Nevada, Spain (Ltaer-es)
(Journal article, 2023)This is a datapaper including microscopically measured data of annual ring widths from the Mediterranean-alpine shrub species Cytisus galianoi (Sierra Nevada, Spain). The dataset will be updated with future measurements. -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Geochemical landscapes as drivers of wildlife reproductive success: Insights from a high-Arctic ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The bioavailability of essential and non-essential elements in vegetation is expected to influence the performance of free-ranging terrestrial herbivores. However, attempts to relate the use of geochemical landscapes by ... -
Dataset from long-term air quality monitoring in the World Natural Heritage Geirangerfjord, Western Norway (AQM-G)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Here, we present a datapaper containing observational air quality and meteorological data related to our long-term air quality monitoring program at the UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord, Western Norway. ... -
Consistent imprints of elevation, soil temperature and moisture on plant and arthropod communities across two subarctic landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Factors shaping arthropod and plant community structure at fine spatial scales are poorly understood. This includes microclimate, which likely plays a large role in shaping local community patterns, especially in ... -
Annual ring width in the arctic-alpine dwarf-shrub species Salix herbacea - dataset from long-term alpine ecosystem research in central Norway (Ltaer-no)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Here we present a datapaper containing microscopically measured data of annual ring widths in the arctic-alpine dwarf-shrub species Salix herbacea (central Norway). The dataset will be updated with future measurements. -
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 ... -
The impact of volcanism on Scandinavian climate and human societies during the Holocene: Insights into the Fimbulwinter eruptions (536/540 AD)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Recent paleoclimatic research has revealed that volcanic events around 536–540 AD caused severe, short-term global cooling. For this same period, archeological research from various regions evidences significant cultural ... -
Drivers of soil temperature variation in alpine lichen heaths and shrub vegetation during the summer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lichen heaths are decreasing in abundance in alpine and Arctic areas because of an increased competition with shrubs. This shift in vegetation might have important consequences for the soil temperature. The aim of this ... -
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 ... -
