NINAs elgmerkingsprosjekt i grenseområdet Akershus, Hedmark og Østfold i 2007. Årsrapport
(NINA Rapport;332, Research report, 2008)Elgmerkingsprosjektet i grenseområdet Akershus, Hedmark og Østfold ble etablert som et del-prosjekt av forskningsprosjektet Optimal høsting i 2002. Hovedmålet var å studere dødelighet og rekrutteringen i en elgbestand som ... -
Nitrogen removal potential of shellfish aquaculture harvests in eastern Canada: A comparison of culture methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Bivalve farming can contribute to nutrient removal in coastal and estuarine systems, as bivalves directly incorporate nutrients into their tissues and shells. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the nitrogen removal ... -
No effect of elevated carbon dioxide on reproductive behaviors in the three-spined stickleback
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ocean acidification, the reduction in ocean pH resulting from anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), has been predicted to alter the behavior of fishes. During experimental exposure to CO2 concentrations projected ... -
No Evidence for Activity Adjustment in Response to Increased Density in Daphnia magna
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Increased population density may lead to a decrease in energy available for growth and reproduction via effects on the activity level of individuals. Whilst this may be of particular importance for organisms that compete ... -
No evidence for thermal transgenerational plasticity in metabolism when minimizing the potential for confounding effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Environmental change may cause phenotypic changes that are inherited across generations through transgenerational plasticity (TGP). If TGP is adaptive, offspring fitness increases with an increasing match between parent ... -
No evidence of avian influenza antibodies in two species of raptor nestlings inhabiting Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Since 2016, incursions of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4b have caused unprecedented clinical signs and mortality in white-tailed eagles (WTE; Haliaeetus albicilla) across ... -
No evidence of handling‐induced mortality in Serengeti's African wild dog population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The disappearance of an endangered African wild dog population from Serengeti National Park (SNP) led to international debate centered around one question: were researchers to blame? The “Burrows' hypothesis” postulated ... -
No evidence of host-specific egg mimicry in Asian koels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Avian brood parasitism is costly for the host, in many cases leading to the evolution of defenses like discrimination of parasitic eggs. The parasite, in turn, may evolve mimetic eggs as a counter-adaptation to host egg ... -
No evidence of overall changes in spatial population synchrony across bird species in North America
(Master thesis, 2022)Populasjoner med sterkt korrelerte årlige fluktuasjoner i populasjonsstørrelse, har høy romlig populasjonssynkronitet. Dette øker ofte risikoen for utryddelse hos en art. Romlig autokorrelasjon i miljøstøy (eks. fluktuasjoner ... -
No evidence that seed predators constrain pollinator-mediated trait evolution in a tropical vine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Turnover in biotic communities across heterogeneous landscapes is expected to lead to variation in interactions among plants, their mutualists, and their antagonists. Across a fragmented landscape in northern Costa Rica, ... -
No genetic erosion after five generations for Impatiens glandulifera populations across the invaded range in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background The observation that many alien species become invasive despite low genetic diversity has long been considered the ‘genetic paradox’ in invasion biology. This paradox is often resolved through the temporal ... -
No mitigating effects of roadside vegetation clearing on ungulate-vehicle collisions in Nord-Trøndelag
(Master thesis, 2016)The number of ungulate-vehicle collisions has increased substantially over the last few decades. To reduce the number of accidents several mitigation measures have been implemented, but there is in many cases no evaluation ... -
Non-autosomal genetic variation in carotenoid coloration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Carotenoid-based coloration plays an important role in signaling, is often sexually dimorphic, and is potentially subject to directional and/or sex-specific selection. To understand the evolutionary dynamics of such color ... -
Non-stationary Response of Tree Growth to Climate Trends Along the Arctic Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change modulates cold-marginal forest ecosystems through changing growth constraints. Understanding spatiotemporal variations in climate– growth relationships is essential to project forest ecosystem dynamics, and ... -
North Atlantic winter cyclones starve seabirds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Each winter, the North Atlantic Ocean is the stage for numerous cyclones, the most severe ones leading to seabird mass-mortality events called ‘‘winter wrecks.’’ During these, thousands of emaciated seabird carcasses are ... -
Norway's Future Forest, warmer and greener? A study on (1) the early recruitment of oak, red elderberry and spruce on post-harvested spruce plantations; (2) Visions, possible pathways and challenges to achieving more deciduous forest through interviews with the public sector.
(Master thesis, 2023)Due to climate change and drought seasons, spruce Picea abies have started to dry out and die. This happened in Moss municipality in 2018, and since then they’ve wanted to find other options than spruce, in particular ... -
Not too slow, not too fast: water currents affect group structure, aggression and welfare in postsmolt Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Increased swimming speed of Atlantic salmon is generally considered an improvement to welfare under aquaculture settings, as group structure is improved and agonistic behaviour reduced. As such, establishing fish farms in ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Five names in Frullania, F. convoluta Lindenb. et Hampe, F. herzogiana Steph. 1911 (= F. rio-janeirensis (Raddi) Ångstr., syn. nov.), F. herzogiana Steph. 1916 (= F. convoluta), F. convoluta var. ampliata Herzog (= F. ... -
Notes on Early Land Plants Today. 82. Frullanoides chinantlana (Gottsche) comb. nov., an older name for Frullanoides tristis (Steph.) van Slageren
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Frullanoides tristis (Steph.) van Slageren is a well-established taxon and the name has been used frequently since the revision of the genus by van Slageren (1985). But there is a nomenclature problem with the name as van ... -
Notes on Early Land Plants Today. 83. Re-instatement of Lejeunea parvisaccata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Mizutani (1970) introduced a new name, Lejeunea micholitzii Mizut., when transferring Hygrolejeunea parvisaccata Steph. to Lejeunea Lib. since Lejeunea parvisaccata (Steph.) Steph. was blocking the name in Lejeunea. The ...
