Change in arthropod communities following a mass death incident of reindeer at Hardangervidda
(Master thesis, 2019)Decomposition of dead material is a vital part of ecology, and an important process in every ecosystem. Dead animals are likely to play a major part in sustaining species that specialize on scavenging. The highly nutrient ... -
Condensed tannins in senesced foliage and soil organic layer in response to fertilization in boreal forest ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2021)Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition rate in boreal forests increased over the last century and significantly impacted many parts of these ecosystems. Boreal forests contain a large amount of carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) is ... -
Effects of long-term experimental warming on alpine bryophytes : trends in functional traits
(Master thesis, 2019)Functional traits are becoming increasingly important tools to evaluate plant community response to climate change. Artificial warming treatments can shift community-level trait values as a consequence of intraspecific ... -
Evaluating wildlife cameras as a method to sample reindeer behavior
(Master thesis, 2021)Increasing amounts of infrastructure intersecting reindeer habitat in Fennoscandia also increases concern over negative effects on reindeer behavior and area use. Previous studies have shown variable results regarding area ... -
GIS-modeling of riparian vegetation : a case study of ecosystem services in and along Lierelva as indicated by macroinvertebrates
(Master thesis, 2020)Lierelva is a river located in SE-Norway in Auskog-Holand municipality. It has a large drainage area and joins Lake Bjorkelangen in the south. This study has two major purposes: (1) determine the various types of riparian ... -
Parasites and people : crocodile parasite interactions in human impacted areas of Belize
(Master thesis, 2019)Despite the recorded cases of crocodilian epidemic mortalities caused by human disturbance of the environment, there still remains a lack of information to understand how anthropogenic disturbances affect crocodilian health. ... -
Responses in fish and macroinvertebrates to channelization and restoration in two Arctic rivers
(Master thesis, 2018)The two rivers Salangselva and Kvernmoelva in Troms county, were both channelized and erosion secured during the 1980s. This stimulated agricultural activity in adjacent properties in the following years. In parallel, a ... -
Sea trout in Inner Oslofjorden : population biology, marine recreational fishing and spatial variation in fishing intensity
(Master thesis, 2019)Recreational fishing has been known since XV century. Nowadays, Arlinghaus and Cooke (2009) estimate, that around 10,6% of the population in studied countries participate in recreational fishing. However, marine recreational ... -
Spatio-temporal ecology of Amazonian freshwater turtles
(Master thesis, 2021)Amazonian freshwater turtles are a key component of the Amazonian waterscape and an important resource for riverine communities. However, extensive exploitation combined with habitat alteration and climate change has ... -
The influence of nest-site limitation on the species richness and abundance of bees : linking biodiversity and geology
(Master thesis, 2018)There is mounting evidence of declines in global biodiversity. Declining wild bee populations are subject to concern because bees are considered the most important pollinators worldwide, contributing to the production of ... -
What affects migration and large-scale area use of brown trout (Salmo trutta) smolt? : an acoustic telemetry study from four Oslofjord populations
(Master thesis, 2018)The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is one of the most studied fish species, due to its recreational and economic value. The smolt life stage, is however less studied. In this thesis, I used acoustic telemetry to increase ...
