An investigation into animal personality in early benthic phase European lobster (Homarus gammarus)
(Master thesis, 2016)Consistent individual differences in behavior, also known as animal personality, have been described across a wide range of taxa. In this study, evidence for animal personality was investigated in the European lobster, an ... -
Effects of Climate and Animal Density on Adult Sex Ratio Variation in a Large Herbivore
(Master thesis, 2014)Adult sex ratio is often biased in natural populations, and its variation is known to influence different demographic components at the population level. The causes of variation in adult sex ratio remain, however, poorly ... -
Exploring Moulting Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) Escape Responses towards Ship Traffic.
(Master thesis, 2014)1. The construction of bottom dwelling offshore wind farms in shallow waters is expected to interfere with seabird feeding and moulting habitats. This study focus on how the disturbance from ship traffic associated with ... -
Hydropeaking Effects on Riverine Benthic Invertebrate Fauna Composition and Drift
(Master thesis, 2015)In earlier studies, changes have been detected in the composition of the lotic benthic macroinvertebrate fauna as a consequence of hydropeaking. Rapid fluctuations in discharge lead to sudden dewatering of river bed area ... -

Snow Depth Alteration and Vegetation Cover Effects on Invertebrate Communities in Headwater Streams.
(Master thesis, 2014)Climate change is expected to influence both snow cover and vegetation cover in the boreal zone. The length, duration and continuity of the snow cover during winter is expected to be altered, leading to increased occurrence ... -
Snow Depth and Vegetation Cover Effects on Ecological Functioning in Headwater Streams
(Master thesis, 2014)I studied the possible effects of reduced snow depth on ecological functioning including ecological processes like algal growth and the rates of grazing and decomposition in boreal headwater streams in the Dovre Mountains ...
