• Coexistence of large mammals and humans is possible in Europe’s anthropogenic landscapes 

      Cretois, Benjamin; Linnell, John Durrus; Van Moorter, Bram; Kaczensky, Petra; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Parada, Jorge Sicacha; Rød, Jan Ketil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      A critical question in the conservation of large mammals in the Anthropocene is to know the extent to which they can tolerate human disturbance. Surprisingly, little quantitative data is available about large-scale effects ...
    • Consequences of barriers and changing seasonality on population dynamics and harvest of migratory ungulates 

      Van Moorter, Bram; Engen, Steinar; Fryxell, John M.; Panzacchi, Manuela; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Mysterud, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Many animal populations providing ecosystem services, including harvest, live in seasonal environments and migrate between seasonally distinct ranges. Unfortunately, two major sources of human-induced global change threaten ...
    • Integrating data from different survey types for population monitoring of an endangered species: the case of the Eld’s deer 

      Bowler, Diana Elizabeth; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Bischof, Richard; O'Hara, Robert B.; Yu, Thin Thin; Oo, Tun; Aung, Myint; Linnell, John Durrus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Despite its value for conservation decision-making, we lack information on population abundances for most species. Because establishing large-scale monitoring schemes is rarely feasible, statistical methods that combine ...
    • Rewriting results sections in the language of evidence 

      Muff, Stefanie; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; OHara, Robert Brian; Nater, Chloe Rebecca (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Despite much criticism, black-or-white null-hypothesis significance testing with an arbitrary P-value cutoff still is the standard way to report scientific findings. One obstacle to progress is likely a lack of knowledge ...
