Disentangling the drivers of European badger (Meles meles) activity at multiple temporal scales
(Master thesis, 2020)Animals shape their activity in response to several processes that take place at different timescales. It stands to reason that the assessment of activity at multiple temporal scales will enhance the understanding of its ... -
Distribution and habitat change of the critically endangered Kaapori capuchin (Cebus kaapori)
(Master thesis, 2024)The Kaapori Capuchin (Cebus kaapori) is endemic to the eastern Brazilian Amazon and is considered one of the world’s most threatened primates. As the Amazon is shrinking due to human activities and climate change the habitat ... -
Distribution and mobility of 137Cs in soil from the cathcment area of Vefsna
(Master thesis, 2022)The primary source of 137Cs in Norway is the Chernobyl accident, and several decades after the accident, there is still a substantial amount in the environment. The area of Hattfjelldal, within the catchment area of the ... -
Distribution of metals and organic material along a Norwegian river - ocean transect
(Master thesis, 2021)The distribution of metals in aquatic systems is crucial for bioavailability and toxicity. Metals are transported from catchment to oceans through rivers. During this transport, the properties of metals (e.g., charge, size, ... -
Distribution, Age and Growth Dynamics of Scots Pine Recruits on Its Northern Distributional Limit in Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Growth and age structures of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) at its northern distribution are influenced by both regional climate and microsite conditions. While large-scale trends for stand regeneration and annual growth ... -
Diversity of wild bees in semi-natural grasslands in southeast Norway is related to temperature and amount of edge habitat in the surrounding landscape
(Master thesis, 2021)The declines in diversity and abundance of wild bees are mainly attributed to the intensification of agricultural practices and the resulting loss of semi-natural grassland habitats. Furthermore, the effect of climate ... -
Do juvenile densities in the river Bognelv experience density dependency after river restoration and do the reopened side channel function as suitable nursing areas for juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta)
(Master thesis, 2020)Det eksister ennå usikkerheter rundt den biologiske effektivitet rundt elverestaurering, til tross for mengden litteratur og finansiering som eksister oppgjennom historien. Dette setter lys på viktigheten forskning har for ... -
Does tunnel wash water have an impact on vital rates and displacement of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in river Årungselva
(Master thesis, 2021)Earlier studies on runoff water from roads and tunnels have demonstrated that such water hold toxic substances that can be harmful to aquatic biota. River Årungselva, which flows into the inner part of Bunnefjorden close ... -
Drivers and consequences of partial migration in an alpine bird species
(Master thesis, 2020)1. Partial migration, where parts of a population migrate between winter and summer (breeding) areas and the rest remain year-round resident, is a common phenomenon across several bird species. However, both drivers and ... -
Drivers for phytoplankton community dominance of nuisance microalga Gonyostomum semen (Ehrenberg) Diesing in two South-Eastern Norwegian lakes : a paleolimnological approach
(Master thesis, 2018)Gonyostomum semen (Ehr.) Diesing has during the last decades expanded its distribution and increasingly started to dominate phytoplankton communities in Northern Europe, and particularly in Scandinavia. Several studies ... -
Dry Calcareous Grasslands - Using Monitoring Methods to Detect Effects From Management Actions
(Master thesis, 2023)1. The grim fact is that biodiversity in ecosystems across the globe are rapidly declining due to anthropogenic activities. On the other hand, focus on actions that may halt this loss is on the rise. Ecological restoration ... -
Ecological condition, alpha diversity, abundance and functional groups in macroinvertebrate communities of 15 tributaries in the Verdal watershed
(Master thesis, 2022)Streams and rivers are some of the most degraded and threatened ecosystems in a global perspective. There are several factors influencing declines in biodiversity globally, with the most driving agents being pollution, ... -
The effect of artificial light and latitude on foraging activity in resident passerines in Northern Europe
(Master thesis, 2020)Over the last couple of decades, there has been an increasing interest in the ecological consequences of artificial light on wildlife. At northern latitudes, winter is characterized by short days and low temperatures, ... -
Effect of autumn warming on the rate of senescence in Svalbard plants : an experimental approach with relevance for Svalbard reindeer
(Master thesis, 2022)Phenology is a biological trait sensitive to global warming. Climate change scenarios predict a three-fold increase in temperature and altered rainfall for polar regions. The Svalbard Archipelago, situated at 780 North, ... -
Effect of Conservation Agriculture and Biochar on Soil Hydraulic Properties in a Ugandan Plinthosol
(Master thesis, 2023)Conservation agriculture (CA) is regarded as a robust and resilient agricultural practice, able to meet the challenges related to climate change. Conservation farming in combination with biochar (BC) has gained increased ... -
Effect of Elevation Differences in Alpine Insect Activity on Silene Acaulis at Finse, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Global annual average temperature has increased since the industrial revolution and is predicted to continue to increase in the future resulting in altered species distributions. Alpine ecosystems are particularly vulnerable ... -
Effect of experimental warming on Dryas octopetala- dominated vegetation in High Arctic versus alpine ecosystems
(Master thesis, 2024)As a consequence of climate change, colder regions such as the Arctic and alpine areas are experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the global average. The effect of warming varies across the tundra biome, and the ... -
Effect of farmland type and vegetation height on habitat use and breeding success of northern lapwings in south-east Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)Habitat use is a key element to understanding how endangered species should be protected from further decline. The northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) is a red-listed farmland species threatened by multiple factors such ... -
Effect of grazing in Norwegian outfields related to the quantity and quality of soil organic carbon and other soil properties
(Master thesis, 2022)Utilization of the outfield for grazing have long traditions in Norway. Not only as a pasture, but also mowed to provide food for the winter (Rekdal & Angeloff, 2021). From 1949 to 1999, grazing in Norway changed from ... -
Effect of macrophyte removal on CO2 emissions in the river Otra, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)The main goal of this study is to examine how macrophyte removal affects CO2 emissions in rivers with a secondary aim of quantifying CO2 concentrations and emissions in the river over the course of 24 hours. The study was ...
