    • Annual variation in breeding success in boreal forest grouse: Four decades of monitoring reveals bottom-up drivers to be more important than predation 

      Wegge, Per; Moss, Robert; Rolstad, Jørund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-09)
      Knowledge of the temporal variation in reproductive success and its key driving factors is crucial in predicting animal population persistence. Few studies have examined the effects of a range of explanatory factors operating ...

    • Coprophagy in moose: A first observation 

      Spitzer, Robert; Åström, Cecilia; Felton, Annika M.; Eriksson, Monica; Meisingset, Erling L.; Solberg, Erling Johan; Rolandsen, Christer Moe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01-06)
      Coprophagy, the eating of feces, has been documented in a wide range of species but appears to be rare or difficult to detect in deer (Cervidae). Here, we report the first observation of coprophagy in moose Alces alces, ...

    • Genetic changes caused by restocking and hydroelectric dams in demographically bottlenecked brown trout in a transnational subarctic riverine system 

      Klutsch, Cornelya; Maduna, Simo; Polikarpova, Natalia; Forfang, Kristin; Aspholm, Paul Eric; Nyman, Tommi; Eiken, Hans Geir; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Hagen, Snorre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-29)
      Habitat discontinuity, anthropogenic disturbance, and overharvesting have led to population fragmentation and decline worldwide. Preservation of remaining natural genetic diversity is crucial to avoid continued genetic ...

    • Macronutrient balancing in free-ranging populations of moose 

      Felton, Annika M.; Wam, Hilde Karine; Felton, Adam; Simpson, Stephen J.; Stolter, Caroline; Hedwall, Per-Ola; Malmsten, Jonas; Eriksson, Torsten; Tigabo, Mulualem; Raubenheimer, David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-15)
      At northern latitudes, large spatial and temporal variation in the nutritional composition of available foods poses challenges to wild herbivores trying to satisfy their nutrient requirements. Studies conducted in mostly ...

    • Moose in our neighborhood: Does perceived hunting risk have cascading effects on tree performance in vicinity of roads and houses? 

      Mehlhoop, Anne Catriona; Van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Hagen, Dagmar; Granhus, Aksel; Eriksen, Rune; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Solberg, Erling Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04-03)
      Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans ...

    • Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot-based inventories 

      Portier, Jeanne; Zellweger, Florian; Zell, Jürgen; Alberdi Asensio, Iciar; Bosela, Michal; Breidenbach, Johannes; Šebeň, Vladimír; Wüest, Rafael O.; Rohner, Brigitte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06-12)
      To understand the state and trends in biodiversity beyond the scope of monitoring programs, biodiversity indicators must be comparable across inventories. Species richness (SR) is one of the most widely used biodiversity ...

    • Studying phenological phenomena in subarctic biomes with international school pupils as citizen scientists 

      Klutsch, Cornelya; Aspholm, Paul Eric; Polikarpova, Natalia; Veisblium, Olga; Bjørn, Tor-Arne; Wikan, Anne; Gonzalez, Victoria; Hagen, Snorre B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-30)
      Citizen science can facilitate in‐depth learning for pupils and students, contribute to scientific research, and permit civic participation. Here, we describe the development of the transnational school‐based citizen science ...
