Specialists in ancient trees are more affected by climate than generalists
Gough, Leonie; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne; Milberg, Per; Pilskog, Hanne Eik; Jansson, Nicklas; Jonsell, Mats; Birkemoe, Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Ancient trees are considered one of the most important habitats for biodiversity in Europe and North America. They support exceptional numbers of specialized species, including a range of rare and endangered wood-living ... -
Spore production and beetle visitation on the polypore Fomitopsis pinnicola
Wegger, Hermann Hallerud (Master thesis, 2021)Insects and fungi are important parts of dead wood systems. Polypores, the main structural decomposers of dead wood, have fruiting bodies frequently visited by insects. This could potentially be important for spore dispersal, ... -
Temperature stress deteriorates bed bug (Cimex lectularius) populations through decreased survival, fecundity and offspring success
Rukke, Bjørn Arne; Sivasubramaniam, Ranjeni; Birkemoe, Tone; Aak, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
The effect of secondary metabolites, nutrients and invertebrates on fungal establishment and decomposition rates in European Aspen (Populus tremula)
Tangnæs, Mina-Johanne; Andelic, Martine (Master thesis, 2019)Fungal decomposer communities play an essential role in nutrient cycling and are one of the main drivers of decomposition. Although fungal community composition has been seen to influence the rate of wood decay, little is ... -
Three decades of environmental change studies at alpine Finse, Norway: climate trends and responses across ecological scales
Roos, Ruben Erik; Birkemoe, Tone; Asplund, Johan; Halbritter Rechsteiner, Aud Helen; Olsen, Siri Lie; Vassvik, Linn; van Zuijlen, Kristel; Klanderud, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Traits mediate niches and co-occurrences of forest beetles in ways that differ among bioclimatic regions
Burner, Ryan C.; Stephan, Jörg G.; Drag, Lukas; Birkemoe, Tone; Muller, Jörg; Snäll, Tord; Ovaskainen, Otso; Potterf, Mária; Siitonen, Juha; Skarpaas, Olav; Doerfler, Inken; Gossner, Martin M.; Schall, Peter; Weisser, Wolfgang W.; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Use of time-lapse cameras to monitor beetle activity on fruiting bodies of Fomitopsis pinicola
Ferkingstad, Bendik Johansen (Master thesis, 2020)Insects and fungi are the major contributors to forest biodiversity. It is apparent that insects have an ecologically important effect on fungal communities in dead wood systems. Beetles frequently visit the fruiting bodies ... -
Veteran oaks, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in southern Norway
Wetherbee, Ross (PhD Thesis;2021:29, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Veteran trees are keystone structures in landscapes, hotspots for biodiversity and have high cultural value. They are also declining globally, and this threatens the species that are dependent on them, and the ecosystem ... -
Veteran trees in decline: Stratified national monitoring of oaks in Norway
Jacobsen, Rannveig Margrete; Birkemoe, Tone; Evju, Marianne; Skarpaas, Olav; Sverdrup-Thygeson, Anne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Old veteran trees function as biodiversity hotspots in both forests and open landscapes, and protecting such trees is an important measure to halt loss of biodiversity. Nevertheless, the number of veteran trees continues ...
