Biodiversity dynamics in urban areas under changing land-uses
Petersen, Tanja Kofod (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:107, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Ecology goes to town Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, but as urban expansion inevitably happens at the cost of other ecosystems, understanding how this will affect biodiversity is crucial. Especially if we wish to ... -

Contrasting consequences of climate change for migratory geese: Predation, density dependence and carryover effects offset benefits of high‐arctic warming
Layton-Matthews, Kate; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Grøtan, Vidar; Fuglei, Eva; Loonen, Maarten J.J.E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate change is most rapid in the Arctic, posing both benefits and challenges for migratory herbivores.

However, it remains unclear whether ... -

The factors generating this variation are not well understood, primarily because of the challenges ... -
Density‐dependent population dynamics of a high Arctic capital breeder, the barnacle goose
Layton-Matthews, Kate; Loonen, M. J. J. E; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Coste, Christophe Francois Daniel; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Grøtan, Vidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Density regulation of the population growth rate occurs through negative feedbacks on underlying vital rates, in response to increasing population size.

Effects of Experimental Icing and Summer Warming on the Polar Willow Salix polaris on Svalbard
Grotheim, Marta Dahl (Master thesis, 2017)The effects of climate change are particularly strong in the Arctic, where temperatures are increasing rapidly. While a clear trend of a more productive and greener Arctic in response to summer warming has been confirmed ... -
Effects of experimental winter icing and summer warming on high Arctic tundra vascular plants: a comparison of growth forms
Haraldsen, Hanne Kristin (Master thesis, 2017)No other place has experienced such pronounced changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change, as the terrestrial Arctic. Ecological responses to warmer summers are already well documented, yet the responses ... -
Elgen i Norge sett med jegerøyne. En analyse av jaktmaterialet fra overvå-kingsprogrammet for elg og det samlede sett elg-materialet for perioden 1966-2004

Som et ledd i overvåkingen av denne ressursen be-nyttes elgjegere til å samle inn forskjellig type data fra observerte og felte elg under jakta hvert år. Dette materialet er i ... -
Environmental correlates of variation in a holistic analysis of annual offspring production in the high Arctic songbird snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) on Spitsbergen
Egil Lillehaug (Master thesis, 2019)Klima og vær er viktige abiotiske faktorer som påvirker organismer, spesielt i områder med store værforskjeller, som Arktis. Hvordan været påvirker reproduksjonssuksessen til en fugl som hekker der er spesielt interessant ... -
Family planning in the high Arctic: earlier spring onset advances age at first successful reproduction in barnacle geese
Fjelldal, Mari Aas (Master thesis, 2018)I en verden under oppvarming der arter møter nye miljøforandringer er evalueringen av klimaeffekter på individnivå gjennom livshistorie egenskaper viktig for å forstå langtids- utsiktene til naturlige populasjoner. ... -
