Afar pastoralists in a changing rangeland environment
Tsegaye, Diress (PhD Thesis;2010:33, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Pastoralists have been using arid and semi-arid rangelands to produce their livelihood outputs through livestock production for centuries. However, recent changes in land use and associated impacts on biodiversity and ... -
Bumble bee communities in power-line clearings: Effects of experimental management practices
Steinert, Mari; Eldegard, Katrine; Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Moe, Stein Ragnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1. Bumble bees fill an important function in temperate, boreal and alpineecosystems as pollinators of wild plants and cultivated crops. Global declines in popula-tion size of many bumble bee species call for knowledge about ... -
Determinants of habitat utilization patterns of European lobsters (Homarus gammarus) in the Inner Oslo Fjord, Norway
Teyie, Sharon (Master thesis, 2022)Habitat type and structure influences diversity body size, recruitment, population size structure and survival of species in marine communities. There is, however, inadequate empirical evidence on what substitutes ... -
Disentangling the contributions of dispersal limitation, ecological drift, and ecological filtering to wild bee community assembly
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Kuhlmann, Michael; Potts, Simon G.; Roberts, Stuart P.M.; Totland, Ørjan; Eldegard, Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Drivers of the diversity and distribution of wild bees in a species poor region
Sydenham, Markus Arne Kjær (PhD Thesis;2016:23, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)Bee diversity is declining globally. On a European scale, roughly 10% of the species are considered threatened, but the number may be even higher. The threatened status of bees depends on both the taxonomic and spatial ... -
Ecological impacts of red deer browsing in boreal forest
Lilleeng, Marte Synnøve (PhD Thesis;2018:66, Doctoral thesis, 2018)The populations of wild ungulates are increasing in the northern hemisphere, and in many areas, their populations have developed from critically low to historically high numbers within the last century. There are multiple ... -
Effect of mountain biking on red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Kaupanger, Norway
Scholten, Janneke (Master thesis, 2016-08-31)Human outdoor activities, like mountain biking, often affect animal behaviour. Ungulates might avoid roads and trails, and increase their avoidance with increasing human activity. Recently, biking on forest trails has ... -
Herbivory and climate effects on plant defenses: an ecological and molecular approach
Benevenuto, Rafael Fonseca (PhD Thesis;2019:28, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Knowledge of plant defense responses and how they interact with biotic (e.g., herbivores) and abiotic (e.g., temperature) factors is of fundamental importance for understanding ecosystem functioning. Increases in temperature ... -
High resolution prediction maps of solitary bee diversity can guide conservation measures
Sydenham, Markus A. K.; Venter, Zander; Eldegard, Katrine; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Steinert, Mari; Staverløkk, Arnstein; Dahle, Sondre; Skoog, Daniel Ingvar Jeuderan; Hanevik, Kaj-Andreas; Skrindo, Astrid Brekke; Rusch, Graciela (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Wild bees are key ecosystem components making their decline a cause for concern. An effective measure to increase wild bee diversity is to enhance plant diversity. However, the effect on bee diversity of augmenting plant ... -
Hiking in Rondane wild reindeer range : human trail use and the effect of removing trail marks
Fjelle, Marita (Master thesis, 2020)Habitat loss caused by human disturbance is one of the largest threats to the wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway. Increasing infrastructure development and human use of marked trails and tourist cabins ... -
How termites and large mammalian herbivores influence tree communities, seed removal and wood decomposition in an African savanna
Acanakwo, Erik Francis (PhD Thesis;2018:71, Doctoral thesis, 2018)The heterogeneity and extent savannas makes them resilient, diverse and socioeconomically important. Abiotic factors determine large-scale variation on a, but biotic factors matter at small-scales. In the African savannas, ... -
Impediments to forest recovery in bracken-dominated clearings in the African Highlands
Ssali, Fredrick (PhD Thesis;2018:70, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Vegetation dynamics in disturbed forested landscapes remain incompletely understood. Considerable areas with stalled forest recovery occur worldwide and may reflect the effects of dense and persistent understorey plants ... -
Inter-assemblage facilitation: the functional diversity of cavity-producing beetles drives the size diversity of cavity-nesting bees
Sydenham, Markus Arne Kjær; Häusler, Lise Davanger; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Eldegard, Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Interactions between canopy structure and herbaceous biomass along environmental gradients in moist forest and dry Miombo woodland of Tanzania

Neighborhood effects of herbivore-induced plant resistance vary along an elevational gradient
Fonseca Benevenuto, Rafael; Seldal, Tarald; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Hegland, Stein Joar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The activation of plant defense systems in response to herbivory or experimentally applied methyl jasmonate (MeJA) involves the production of chemical defense substances functioning as warning signals to repel herbivores ... -
