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 (Aepyceros melampus) populations after a decade of changed conservation management – a case study in the Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2019)I det vestlige Serengeti-økosystemet er det gjort betydelige investeringer i bevaring og forvaltning av Grumeti-området siden begynnelsen av det 21. århundre. Ved å bruke impala (Aepyceros melampus) som studieart, undersøkte ... -
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 ... -
Behavioural Ecology of Free-ranging and Reintroduced African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) Packs in the Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:154, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Worldwide, large carnivore conservation has become an increasing challenge in the face of human population growth and anthropogenic development adjacent to protected areas. African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) range widely ... -
Behavioural effects on environmental pollution in threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus L
(Doctoral thesis, 2003)The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of known environmental contaminants on defined behavioural variables in fish, and to discuss properties of these behavioural traits that make them useful as potential ... -
Behavioural traits correlate in zebrafish (Danio rerio) selected for high and low upper thermal tolerance
(Master thesis, 2019)Ferskvannssystemer er spesielt sårbare for klimaforandringer, så forskning på ferskvannsorganismer i lys av temperaturforandringer er viktig. I denne studien, ble sebrafisk selektert gjennom fire generasjoner for øvre ... -
