Changes in species richness and altitudinal distribution of vascular plants in Jotunheimen, Norway
(Master thesis, 2019)Species richness was sampled on 254 sites distributed along the altitudinal gradient of 23 mountains in Jotunheimen, Norway. The sampling was conducted during the summer of 2014, on sites that previously had been sampled ... -
Colonisation and growth of benthic algae in a recently deculverted urban stream
(Master thesis, 2017)Stream restoration by the process of deculverting is a comprehensive form of restoration which aims to improve morphological, chemical and ecological condition through the re-creation of a naturalized stream from a piped ... -
Erioderma pedicellatum : an ecophysiological study of a globally threatened pioneer lichen on thin spruce branches in old forests
(Master thesis, 2021)Lichen extinction occurs at a fast rate due to human activity, and species yet to be discovered are likely go extinct every year. Many species close to extinction may still be rescued by conservation management based on ... -
Linking high frequency GPS data with multiscale habitat selection : a study of an adaptable carnivore in a fragmented landscape
(Master thesis, 2019)BACKGROUND: The expansion of human activity has had a significant impact on wildlife. Some of these effects are challenging to observe, especially in the case of illusive and nocturnal carnivores. GPS technology offers ... -
Monitoring diel and seasonal activity of voles and shrews at Hardangervidda using camera trapping
(Master thesis, 2020)Voles (Microtinae) and shrews (Soricidae) are keystone species in the northern terrestrial ecosystems, with voles functioning as seed dispersers and vegetation facilitators and all species being important prey for a range ... -
Post-fledging parental care in the female great grey owl (Strix nebulosa) : a trade-off between provisioning and guarding
(Master thesis, 2018)Post-fledging parental care is generally little studied in birds. By use of radio telemetry, I studied the post-fledging parental behaviour of female great grey owls (Strix nebulosa), measured as number of prey deliveries ... -
Short-term effect of water sprinkling on the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in strawberry
(Master thesis, 2018)The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is a common pest on strawberry plants and especially when cultivating strawberry plants in tunnels due to the mites’ preference for warm and dry conditions. A common control ... -
To ban or not to ban? : spatial and temporal effects of banning long-term supplementary feeding on red deer space use, forest browsing damage and the performance and nitrogen content of bilberry plants
(Master thesis, 2020)Supplementary feeding (i.e. diversionary feeding) of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and other cervids is a widespread tool in wildlife management in Europe and North America. In 2016 supplementary feeding was banned in Norway ... -
Vascular plant and lichen functional trait responses to warming in an alpine ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2018)Functional traits are recognized as potential predictors of plant community responses to climate change. In stressful alpine environments, temperature is a limiting factor and may select for resource conservative individuals. ... -
Wildlife use of private gardens in south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)Urbanisation typically results in a reduction in biodiversity. Studies of urban wildlife have shown that the increase in extinction risk tends to be higher with increasing urban areas. Yet, in urban environments, private ...
