Artificial size selection experiment reveals telomere length dynamics and fitness consequences in a wild passerine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Telomere dynamics could underlie life-history trade-offs among growth, size and longevity, but our ability to quantify such processes in natural, unmanipulated populations is limited. We investigated how 4 years of artificial ... -
AsKC11, a Kunitz Peptide from Anemonia sulcata, Is a Novel Activator of G Protein-Coupled Inward-Rectifier Potassium Channels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)(1) Background: G protein-coupled inward-rectifier potassium (GIRK) channels, especially neuronal GIRK1/2 channels, have been the focus of intense research interest for developing drugs against brain diseases. In this ... -
Assessing Africa-wide pangolin exploitation by scaling local data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Overexploitation is one of the main pressures driving wildlife closer to extinction, yet broad‐scale data to evaluate species’ declines are limited. Using African pangolins (Family: Pholidota) as a case study, we demonstrate ... -
Assessing Important Conservation Areas for Colonial Species From Individual Tracking Data: An Evaluation of the Effects of Colony Structure and Temporal Heterogeneity in Movement Patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sensitivity of marine ecosystems to human disturbance leads to an increasing need to devise effective conservation initiatives. One key conservation leverage tool is the establishment of marine protected areas, which can ... -
Assessing risks of invasion through gamete performance: Farm Atlantic salmon sperm and eggs show equivalence in function, fertility, compatibility and competitiveness to wild Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Adaptations at the gamete level (a) evolve quickly, (b) appear sensitive to inbreeding and outbreeding and (c) have important influences on potential to reproduce. We apply this understanding to problems posed by escaped ... -
Assessing the effect of mitigation efforts to improve vegetation recovery inpowerline construction sites across Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Land-use related to technical infrastructure puts great pressure on nature and landscapes globally. We used a screening approach to evaluate vegetation development in 295 construction sites related to upkeeping of the ... -
Assessing the Value of a Citizen Science Approach for Ctenophore Identification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)During the era of biodiversity loss, a complete species census and understanding where the different species occur is of high priority. Even though this knowledge has increased tremendously, mainly with expanded use of ... -
Assessment of oxidative stress response genes in Avicennia marina exposed to oil contamination - Polyphenol oxidase (PPOA) as biomarker
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mangrove plants, which inhabit and form sensitive ecosystems in the intertidal zones of tropical and subtropical coastlines, though vulnerable to petroleum pollution, still maintain their growth under oil contamination. ... -
Assessment of oxidative stress response genes in Avicennia marina exposed to oil contamination – Polyphenol oxidase (PPOA) as a biomarker
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020) -
Assessment of the risk of negative impact on biodiversity from import and release of eggs or live fish from landlocked Atlantic salmon from Klarälven in Sweden to Trysilelva in Norway. Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Alien Organisms and Trade in Endangered Species of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction Atlantic salmon in the River Klarälven in Sweden live the entire life in freshwater, undertaking feeding migrations to Lake Vänern. The upper part of the watershed is in Norway and comprises the River Trysilelva ... -
Associational relationships at multiple spatial scales affect forest damage by moose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Increasing abundance of large herbivores combined with changes in forestry practices has led to increased forest damage in many temperate and boreal forest areas. The role of alternative forage as a driver for browsing ... -
Atlantic salmon raised with diets low in long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids in freshwater have a Mycoplasma-dominated gut microbiota at sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Factors affecting the establishment of the gut microbiota in animals living in marine environments remain largely unknown. In terrestrial animals, however, it is well established that the juvenile environment has a major ... -
The Aureochrome Photoreceptor PtAUREO1a Is a Highly Effective Blue Light Switch in Diatoms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aureochromes represent a unique type of blue light photoreceptors that possess a blue light sensing flavin-binding LOV-domain and a DNA-binding bZIP domain, thus being light-driven transcription factors. The diatom ... -
Automated measurement of upper thermal limits in small aquatic animals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present a method for automating the measurement of upper thermal limits in small aquatic organisms. Upper thermal limits are frequently defined by the cessation of movement at high temperature, with measurement being ... -
Awareness of urban communities on biodiversity conservation in Tanzania's protected areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study used semi-structured interviews in two cities, Dodoma and Arusha, in Tanzania, to assess the difference in people’s conservation awareness between the two cities. Our results revealed that urban people were ... -
Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon. Pursuing this ... -
The Baltic Sea: An ecosystem with multiple stressors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This introductory chapter to our Environment International VSI does not need an abstract and therefore we just include our recommendations below in order to proceed with the resubmission. Future work should examine waterbirds ... -
Bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) vocalizations across seasons and habitat types in Svalbard, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Male bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) use vocal displays to attract females and to compete with other males during the mating season. This makes it possible to monitor breeding populations of this species using passive ... -
Behavioral buffering of extreme weather events in a high-Arctic herbivore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)As global warming advances, there is a growing concern about the impact of extreme weather events on ecosystems. In the Arctic, more frequent unseasonal warm spells and rain-on- snow events in winter cause changes in ... -
Behavioural and demographic changes in impala populations after 15 years of improved conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many protected areas (PAs) have been created globally in response to the dramatic human- induced decline in biodiversity. However, not all PAs successfully preserve their biodiversity and continued monitoring is vital to ...
