Aboveground biomass density models for NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar mission
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). This paper ... -
Activating Natural Killer Cell Receptors, Selectins, and Inhibitory Siglecs Recognize Ebolavirus Glycoprotein
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Expression of the extensively glycosylated Ebolavirus glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) induces physical alterations of surface molecules and plays a crucial role in viral pathogenicity. Here we investigate the interactions of EBOV-GP ... -
Analysis of differences and commonalities in wildlife hunting across the Africa-Europe South-North gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Hunting and its impacts on wildlife are typically studied regionally, with a particular focus on the Global South. Hunting can, however, also undermine rewilding efforts or threaten wildlife in the Global North. Little is ... -
“And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into thee ”: four morphs of Arctic charr adapting to a depth gradient in Lake Tinnsjøen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The origin of species is a central topic in biology. Ecological speciation might be a driver in adaptive radiation, providing a framework for understanding mechanisms, level, and rate of diversification. The Arctic charr ... -
Artskunnskap som introduksjon til naturfag i grunnskolelærerutdanningene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)People’s contact with nature has become less frequent, and their experience of nature has become less comprehensive than earlier. The level of knowledge about species has significantly decreased and teaching biology outside ... -
Assessing Aspects of Cadmium Supply, Recycling and Environmental Pollution with Respect to Future Photovoltaic Technology Demands and Environmental Policy Goals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Cadmium has appeared as an important element for certain types of solar cells and rechargeable batteries. It is possible that there will be a large increase in demand for technical cadmium in the future. This is in confict ... -
Assessing levels, trade-offs and synergies of landscape services in the Iranian province of Qazvin: towards sustainable landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Context Evidence-based knowledge is crucial for place-based knowledge production and learning towards sustainable landscapes through stewardship and integrated spatial planning. Objectives We focus on the landscape service ... -
Associations between insulin-like factor 3, scrotal circumference and semen characteristics in young Norwegian Red bulls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With the integration of genomic selection in the cattle artificial insemination (AI) industry, bulls are selected for their semen production capacity and fertility at a younger age than previously. Norwegian Red bull calves ... -
Barriers and bridges for sustaining functional habitat networks: A macroecological system analysis of wet grassland landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study aims at supporting the maintenance of representative functional habitat networks as green infrastructure for biodiversity conservation through transdisciplinary macroecological analyses of wet grassland landscapes ... -
A biodiversity boost from the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) in Germany's oldest national park
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Freshwater ecosystems are among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Beavers are important engineers in freshwater ecosystems and reintroduction programs have enabled the recovery of beaver populations in several ... -
Biosafety legislation and the regulatory status of the products of precision breeding in the Latin America and the Caribbean region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Precision breeding represents a new challenge for biosafety regulators when applying the legal definition of living modified organisms (LMOs) in accordance with their domestic biosafety legislation. Globally, there is ... -
Biting the bullet: a call for action on lead-contaminated meat in food-banks
