A calculator for local peatland volume and carbon stock to support area planners and decision makers
Kyrkjeeide, Magni Olsen; Fandrem, Marte; Kolstad, Anders Lorentzen; Bartlett, Jesamine; Cretois, Benjamin; Silvennoinen, Hanna Marika (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Conserving soil carbon is one of many actions to take in limiting global warming. However, carbon dense peatlands are still being drained or excavated. Infrastructure development is one of the major current threats to boral ... -
The challenges and opportunities of coexisting with wild ungulates in the human-dominated landscapes of Europe's Anthropocene
Linnell, John Durrus; Cretois, Benjamin; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Rolandsen, Christer Moe; Solberg, Erling Johan; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Kaczensky, Petra; Van Moorter, Bram; Panzacchi, Manuela; Rauset, Geir Rune; Kaltenborn, Bjørn Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The cumulative impact of human activities has driven many species into severe declines across the globe. However, the recent focus on conservation optimism has begun to highlight case studies that go against this trend. ... -
Coexistence of large mammals and humans is possible in Europe’s anthropogenic landscapes
Cretois, Benjamin; Linnell, John Durrus; Van Moorter, Bram; Kaczensky, Petra; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Parada, Jorge Sicacha; Rød, Jan Ketil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A critical question in the conservation of large mammals in the Anthropocene is to know the extent to which they can tolerate human disturbance. Surprisingly, little quantitative data is available about large-scale effects ... -
Ecological correlates of large carnivore depredation on sheep in Europe
Gervasi, Vincenzo; Linnell, John Durrus; Berce, Tomaz; Boitani, Luigi; Cerne, Rok; Ciucci, Paolo; Cretois, Benjamin; Derron-Hilfiker, Daniela; Duchamp, Christophe; Gastineau, Adrienne; Grente, Oksana; Huber, Djuro; Iliopoulos, Yorgos; Mertzanis, Yorgos; Männil, Peep; Norberg, Harri; Pagon, Nives; Pedrotti, Luca; Quenette, Pierre-Yves; Reljic, Slaven; Salvatori, Valeria; Talvi, Tõnu; von Arx, Manuela; Gimenez, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sharing space with large carnivores on a human-dominated continent like Europe results in multiple conflictful interactions with human interests, of which depredation on livestock is the most widespread. We conducted an ... -
Hunters as citizen scientists: Contributions to biodiversity monitoring in Europe
Cretois, Benjamin; Linnell, John Durrus; Grainger, Matthew; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Rød, Jan Ketil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Monitoring biodiversity characteristics at large scales and with adequate resolution requires considerable effort and resources. Overall, there is clearly a huge scope for European hunters, a special and often overlooked ... -
Identifying and correcting spatial bias in opportunistic citizen science data for wild ungulates in Norway
Cretois, Benjamin; Simmonds, Emily Grace; Linnell, John D. C.; van Moorter, Bram; Rolandsen, Christer M.; Solberg, Erling J.; Strand, Olav; Gundersen, Vegard; Roer, Ole; Rød, Jan Ketil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Many publications make use of opportunistic data, such as citizen science observation data, to infer large-scale properties of species’ distributions. However, the few publications that use opportunistic citizen science ... -
Insights into the quantification and reporting of model-related uncertainty across different disciplines

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world ... -
Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution
Simmonds, Emily Grace; Adjei, Kwaku Peprah; Cretois, Benjamin; Dickel, Lisa; González-Gil, Ricardo; Laverick, Jack H; Mandeville, Caitlin Marie; Mandeville, Elizabeth G; Ovaskainen, Otso Tapio; Sicacha-Parada, Jorge; Skarstein, Emma Sofie; O'Hara, Robert Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ... -
