Recent advancements to increase success in assisted reproductive technologies in cattle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are fundamental for cattle breeding and sustainable food production. Together with genomic selection, these technologies contribute to reducing the generation interval and accelerating ... -
Morphometric differences between sexes and populations in Norwegian Dunlins Calidris alpina
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Capsule The sex of Dunlins from two widely separated Norwegian breeding populations can be determined using morphometrics, with the Dunlins’ sizes differing between populations. Aims We aimed to understand the Dunlin’s ... -
Experimental Infection of Reindeer with Jamestown Canyon Virus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Seroprevalence of Jamestown Canyon virus in freeranging caribou in North America is high. We demonstrate serum antibodies and RNA of the virus in blood and tissues of experimentally exposed reindeer with no clinical illness ... -
Characterizing Forest Plot Decay Levels Based on Leaf Area Index, Gap Fraction, and L-Moments from Airborne LiDAR
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Effective forest management is essential for mitigating climate change effects. This is why understanding forest growth dynamics is critical for its sustainable management. Thus, characterizing forest plot deadwood levels ... -
Biochemical and Biorefinery Platform for Second-Generation Bioethanol: Fermentative Strategies and Microorganisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Bioethanol is the most commonly used biofuel. It is an alternative to replace fossil fuels in renewable energy; it can be produced from lignocellulosic feedstock using a biotechnological process. Their participation of ... -
The conservation value of forests can be predicted at the scale of 1 hectare
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)To conserve biodiversity, it is imperative to maintain and restore sufficient amounts of functional habitat networks. Therefore, the location of the remaining forests with natural structures and processes over landscapes ... -
Action Detection for Wildlife Monitoring with Camera Traps Based on Segmentation with Filtering of Tracklets (SWIFT) and Mask-Guided Action Recognition (MAROON)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Behavioral analysis of animals in the wild plays an important role for ecological research and conservation and has been mostly performed by researchers. We introduce an action detection approach that automates this process ... -
First photo evidence of Siberian Weasel Mustela sibirica Pallas, 1773 (Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae) in Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Nepal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Five photographs of Siberian Weasel were captured by camera traps in two locations at an elevation of 2,840-3,200 m. in Gaurishankar Conservation Area. The species was identified based on its uniform yellowish-brown coat, ... -
Environmental stressors and zoonoses in the Arctic: Learning from the past to prepare for the future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The risk of zoonotic disease transmission from animals to humans is elevated for people in close contact with domestic and wild animals. About three-quarters of all known human infectious diseases are zoonotic, and potential ... -
Detecting ecological signatures of long-term human activity across an elevational gradient in the Šumava Mountains, Central Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Central European mountains, including the Šumava Mountains located along the Czechia/Germany border, have a long and rich anthropogenic history. Yet, documenting prehistoric human impact in Central European mountain ... -
What Will the Future Bring? – Socio-Economic Challenges to Herder Households in the Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area in Mongolia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Nomadic pastoralism is still practiced by around one-third of the Mongolian population. Recent socio-economic constraints have challenged pastoral livelihoods and rising livestock numbers threaten overall rangeland health ... -
Differences in the experience of cultural ecosystem services in mountain protected areas by clusters of visitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Protected Areas contribute to the conservation of nature with associated cultural ecosystem services (CES) and values, such as recreational and educational opportunities, wildlife observation, scenic beauty, inspiration ... -
Classification of single tree decay stages from combined airborne LiDAR data and CIR imagery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Understanding forest health is of great importance for the conservation of the integrity of forest ecosystems. The monitoring of forest health is, therefore, indispensable for the long-term conservation of forests and their ... -
Will future wind power development in Scandinavia have an impact on wolves?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The global energy demand is growing, and the world is shifting towards using more renewable energy, like increased onshore wind power development. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very High Frequency (VHF) ... -
Connecting the dots: relationship between heart rate and overall dynamic body acceleration in free-ranging cattle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Monitoring physiological indicators including heart rate (HR) is crucial for managing animal welfare across diverse settings, from precision livestock farming to wildlife conservation. HR is a reliable indicator of energy ... -
Citizen Observations Shed New Light on Geographic Variation in Colour Polymorphism of a Widespread Reptile
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Aim Colour polymorphism within ectothermic species and populations is shaped by multiple selection pressures that can vary geographically. Here, we tested different hypotheses to better understand this variation in colour ... -
Using animal–vehicle collision data for wildlife population monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Globally, collisions with vehicles result in millions of animal deaths every year, representing a major issue for wildlife conservation and management. Consequently, and importantly, much research has focused on understanding ... -
First Evidence of Individual Sharks Involved in Multiple Predatory Bites on People
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)It is widely accepted that populations of terrestrial predators sometimes contain “problem individuals” that repeatedly attack humans, yet this phenomenon has never been demonstrated in sharks. Here, we present photographic ... -
The Norwegian Dugnad in Times of COVID-19
