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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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) ... -
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 ... -
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
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)On 12 March 2020, the Norwegian government instigated measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, the most drastic policies of any Norwegian government in peacetime. A particularly Norwegian metaphor used when introducing ... -
Revealing functional responses in habitat selection of rocky features and rugged terrain by Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) using LiDAR data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Context Many carnivores are attracted to rugged terrain, rocky areas, and conspicuous relief features. However, most of the previous research is limited to general topographical habitat characteristics and rarely consider ... -
A continuous tree species-specific reflectance anomaly index reveals declining forest condition between 2016 and 2022 in Germany
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Large areas of Europe have been repeatedly affected by severe droughts. Stressed trees suffered from direct drought impacts such as water stress or heat and were also more susceptible to other biotic and abiotic stress ... -
Mapping temperate old-growth forests in Central Europe using ALS and Sentinel-2A multispectral data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Old-growth forests are essential to preserve biodiversity and play an important role in sequestering carbon and mitigating climate change. However, their existence across Europe is vulnerable due to the scarcity of their ... -
Dermatological patients with itch report more stress, stigmatization experience, anxiety and depression compared to patients without itch: Results from a European multi-centre study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Itch as the most common symptom in dermatology has been shown to be related to psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression. Moreover, associations were found between perceived stigmatization ... -
The role of predation, forestry and productivity in moose harvest at different spatial levels of management units
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Management of ungulate populations to the desired density and/or demographic composition are challenged by contrasting aims of different stakeholders. For example, hunters may want to maximize hunting opportunities whereas ... -
Seasonal variability of scavenger visitations is independent of carrion predictability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In temperate regions, larger mammalian carrion naturally occurs in terrestrial landscapes as a pulsed resource towards the end of the winter through enhanced ungulate mortality due to starvation or exhaustion. The return ... -
The higher the fraction of maximal oxygen uptake is during interval training, the greater is the cycling performance gain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)It has been suggested that time at a high fraction (%) of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) plays a decisive role for adaptations to interval training. Yet, no study has, to date, measured the % of VO2max during all interval ... -
Exploring the experiences of resident doctors in child and adolescent psychiatry with virtual reality-based simulation training: a qualitative study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background The use of virtual reality simulation for the training of non-technical skills among healthcare professionals may improve professional development as well as the quality of care. This study aims to explore the ... -
Carnivore guild utilization of hunter-provided food sources in boreal forest
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Scavenging is an alternative foraging strategy to predation for many carnivore species, as they shift between predation and scavenging in response to changes in resource availability. The use of carrion may lead to ... -
Widespread exposure to Francisella tularensis in Rangifer tarandus in Canada and Alaska
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The range of tularemia, a disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, may expand alongside climate change in the North. Transmission occurs via biting arthropods, contaminated water sources, infected animal ...
