Exposure to oxychlordane is associated with shorter telomeres in arctic breeding kittiwakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the end of chromosomes, which play an important role in maintaining the genomic integrity. Telomeres shorten at each cell division and previous studies have shown that telomere ... -
Feathers as an integrated measure of organohalogen contamination, its dietary sources and corticosterone in nestlings of a terrestrial bird of prey, the northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this study, we evaluated the suitability of body feathers, preen oil and plasma for estimation of organohalogen compound (OHC) exposure in northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis nestlings (n = 37; 14 nests). In addition, ... -
Generating environmental sampling and testing data for micro- and nanoplastics for use in life cycle impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor ... -
High levels of corticosterone are related to persistent organic pollutants, but not to organophosphate ester flame retardats, in feathers of nestling cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are still globally distributed and some have been shown to interact with the endocrine system of birds. However, the relationship between POPs and the stress response mediated by the ... -
Hydrological and thermal effects of hydropeaking on early life stages of salmonids: A modelling approach for implementing mitigation strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Alterations in hydrological and thermal regimes can potentially affect salmonid early life stages development and survival. The dewatering of salmon spawning redds due to hydropeaking can lead to mortality in early life ... -
Hydropower impacts on reservoir fish populations are modified by environmental variation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Global transition towards renewable energy production has increased the demand for newand more flexible hydropower operations. Beforemanagement and stakeholders can make informed choices on potential mitigations, it is ... -
Identifying persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) organic compounds detected in shale gas wastewater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Shale gas exploitation is a water-intensive process, generating flowback and produced water (FPW) with complex chemical compositions. Reuse, disposal and treatment of FPW are of increasing concern, because of the potential ... -
Impact of ozone treatment on dissolved organic matter in land-based recirculating aquaculture systems studied by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), the accumulation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) can have detrimental effects on water quality impacting the system performance, microbial community, and consequently ... -
Impact of TiO2 nanoparticles on freshwater bacteria from three Swedish lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Due to the rapidly rising production and usage of nano-enabled products, aquatic environments are increasingly exposed to engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), causing concerns about their potential negative effects. In this ... -
Impacts of a warming climate on concentrations of organochlorines in a fasting high arctic marine bird: Direct vs. indirect effects?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The present study examined how climate changes may impact the concentrations of lipophilic organochlorines (OCs) in the blood of fasting High Arctic common eiders (Somateria mollissima) during incubation. Polychlorinated ... -
Impacts of piscicide-induced fish removal on resource use and trophic diversity of lake invertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Chemical eradication of non-native species has become a widely used method to mitigate the potential negative im- pacts of altered competitive or predatory dynamics on biodiversity and natural ecosystem processes. However, ... -
Impacts of roads on bird species richness: A meta-analysis considering road types, habitats and feeding guilds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Roadsides can harbour remarkable biodiversity; thus, they are increasingly considered as habitats with potential for conservation value. To improve construction and management of roadside habitats with positive effects on ... -
Influence of grain size, organic carbon and organic matter residue content on the sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in aqueous film forming foam contaminated soils - Implications for remediation using soil washing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A soil that was historically contaminated with Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) was dry sieved into size fractions representative of those produced during soil washing. Batch sorption tests were then conducted to investigate ... -
Influence of perfluoroalkyl acids and other parameters on circulating thyroid hormones and immune-related microRNA expression in free-ranging nestling peregrine falcons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Exposure to certain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) can have considerable effects on the endocrine and immune systems, although such effects remain largely uncharacterized in wildlife. Using an apex avian predator, we ... -
Life cycle assessment of roads: Exploring research trends and harmonization challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The transparency, heterogeneity and hypotheses considered in the calculation of the environmental impacts of roads are still barriers to the identification of low-carbon solutions. To overcome this problem, this study ... -
Macroplastic in Soil and Peat. A Case Study from the Remote Islands of Mausund and Froan Landscape Conservation Area, Norway; Implications for Coastal Cleanups and Biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Marine plastic litter is ubiquitous and knowledge about its impact on coasts, open waters, the deep-sea, and the biota found in those habitats is increasing. However, studies of how it affects terrestrial environments such ... -
Mandibular shape in farmed Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) exposed to persistent organic pollutants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigated if dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) affect mandibular asymmetry and periodontal disease in paired male-siblings of Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus). During ontogeny, one group of siblings ... -
