Alien plants, animals, fungi and algae in Norway: an inventory of neobiota
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present the results of an inventory and status assessment of alien species in Norway. The inventory covered all known multicellular neobiota, 2496 in total, 1039 of which were classified as naturalised. The latter ... -
The challenges of opportunistic sampling when comparing prevalence of plastics in diving seabirds: A multi-species example from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)There is a need for baseline information about how much plastics are ingested by wildlife and potential negative consequences thereof. We analysed the frequency of occurrence (FO) of plastics >1 mm in the stomachs of five ... -
Distribution of non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis ) across Norwegian waterbodies – is it an invasive species?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis MITCHILL, 1815) was introduced into Norway in 1883. However, it was not until the late 1970s that this acid-tolerant salmonid species was stocked into many acidified lakes that ... -
Meta-analysis of multidecadal biodiversity trends in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological time series (15–91 years) collected ... -
Monitoring litter and microplastics in Arctic mammals and bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic pollution has been reported to affect Arctic mammals and birds. There are strengths and limitations to monitoring litter and microplastics using Arctic mammals and birds. One strength is the direct use of these ... -
Multitrophic biodiversity patterns and environmental descriptors of sub-Arctic lakes in northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes in northern Europe are increasingly threatened by climate change, which can affect their biodiversity directly by shifting thermal and hydrological regimes, and indirectly by altering landscape ... -
Predation of Atlantic salmon across ontogenetic stages and impacts on populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Managers and stakeholders increasingly ask whether predation is a driving force behind the poor status of many species, and whether predator control is likely to be a successful management action to intervene. We review ... -
The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have ...
