Re-evaluationg 'Denmark's Stonehenge'. Bronze Age communal activities in a distinctive landscape setting.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In 1965, an aerial photograph from eastern Denmark revealed three concentric circles surrounding a large hill. In the following years, the National Museum conducted two small excavations, which seemed to confirm that these ... -
Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ... -
Tardigrade diversity and community composition across Norwegian boreal forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tardigrades are common in many terrestrial environments and habitats. Although little is known on their ecological preferences, previous studies found diversity and community composition significantly affected by various ... -
Palaeoenvironmental and Palaeoclimatic Conditions in the Bhimtal Valley, Kumaun Lesser Himalaya, Between 40 and 24 ka Using Granulometric Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In this research, we conducted a detailed granulometric analysis of 9.5 m thick palaeolake succession, exposed at Bilaspur (Bhimtal) in the Kumaun Lesser Himalaya to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic ... -
Modellering av heildekkande utbreiingskart for arter: Bakgrunn, konsept og arbeidsflyt
(NTNU Gjærevollsenteret;1/2024, Research report, 2024)Ei heilskapleg kartlegging av naturverdiar er avgjerande for ei kunnskapsbasert forvalting av natur. Avvegingar mellom naturverdiar og andre samfunnsinteresser kan ikkje gjerast verken på internasjonalt, nasjonalt, regionalt ... -
A paleogenomic investigation of overharvest implications in an endemic wild reindeer subspecies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Overharvest can severely reduce the abundance and distribution of a species and thereby impact its genetic diversity and threaten its future viability. Overharvest remains an ongoing issue for Arctic mammals, which due to ... -
Archaeological evidence of resource utilisation of the great whales over the past two millennia: A systematic review protocol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Archaeological faunal remains provide key insights into human societies in the past, alongside information on previous resource utilisation and exploitation of wildlife populations. The great whales (Mysticete and sperm ... -
Peatland restoration in Norway – evaluation of ongoing monitoring and identification of plant indicators of restoration success
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Norway launched a national action plan on wetland restoration in 2016. So far, 90% of the restoration effort has been on peatland restoration, with about 140 mires restored so far. There are three main restoration goals ... -
Saurbekken- a discussion of food subsistence strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The zooarchaeological material from the North Norwegian settlement mound known as Saurbekken is examined using the number of identified specimens. The aim is to gain knowledge about food subsistence strategies at the site, ... -
Grouping groupers in the Mediterranean: Ecological baselines revealed by ancient proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Marine historical ecology provides a means to establish baselines to inform current fisheries management. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are key species for fisheries in the Mediterranean, which have been heavily overfished. ... -
Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ... -
Holocene deglaciation drove rapid genetic diversification of Atlantic walrus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Rapid global warming is severely impacting Arctic ecosystems and is predicted to transform the abundance, distribution and genetic diversity of Arctic species, though these linkages are poorly understood. We address this ... -

A Grazer in a Browser's Habitat: Resource Selection of Foraging Cattle in Productive Boreal Forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In Norway, cattle (Bos taurus) are released to large areas of boreal forest for summer grazing. To determine to what degree this practice challenges timber production and wildlife management, we need a better understanding ... -
Gradients, Species Richness and Communities in Eastern Finnish Sloping Fens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In Scandinavia, three gradients (poor–rich, water table, margin–expanse) are considered in vegetation classification of mires. We re-analysed the data of Paavo Havas from 1961 on sloping fens in eastern Finland using NMDS ... -
