Sameleire i Tromsø som turistmål, fotomotiv og møteplass
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015)Sameleiren i Tromsdalen var lenge det mest besøkte turistmålet i Tromsø. Betydningen Tromsdalen og andre sameleire fikk som fotomotiv og møteplass i siste del av 1800-tallet, og hvordan dette skulle bidra til å bygge opp om interessen for reindriftssamenes levesett, er mindre kjent. Et resultat av den økte interessen var at sameleire ble gjenskapt i kommersiell og folkeopplysende øyemed, både nasjonalt ... -
Arctic trophy hunters, tourism and masculinities, 1827-1914
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-12)Trophy hunting in the Arctic happened in an intersection between tourism, expeditions and hunting. This study contributes to a discrete history of masculinity within the context of trophy hunting organized from North Norway and to a broader understanding of Arctic masculinity in general. As trophy hunting expeditions are primarily a male, even masculinist, tourist practice, an analysis from ... -
Upwind or downwind: the spring arrival of Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea at Troms, north Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-13)Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea have a record-long migration between their breeding grounds in the Arctic and wintering areas in the Antarctic. Nevertheless, return dtaes to north Norway were remarkably constant over a 35-y period (1981-2015), arriving in Troms within a 13-d time window in mid to late May. Since 1993, arrival dates have advanced by about four days. No relationships were found between ... -

Fern rhizomes as fodder in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-06)Background: Although ferns are often known under collective names in Norway, e.g. blom, a substantial number of vernacular names for individual fern species are known, in particular for useful or poisonous taxa. In the past, the rhizomes (Norwegian: moldfôr) of selected species were collected for fodder. Only scattered records of such use are available from southern Norway, and the tradition’s ... -
The role of sea ice for vascular plant dispersal in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09)Sea ice has been suggested to be an important factor for dispersal of vascular plants in the Arctic. To assess its role for postglacial colonization in the North Atlantic region, we compiled data on the first Late Glacial to Holocene occurrence of vascular plant species in East Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Svalbard. For each record, we reconstructed likely past dispersal events ... -
Lake sedimentary DNA accurately records 20th Century introductions of exotic conifers in Scotland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-28)Sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) has recently emerged as a new proxy for reconstructing past vegetation, but its taphonomy, source area and representation biases need better assessment. We investigated how sedDNA in recent sediments of two small Scottish lakes reflects a major vegetation change, using well-documented 20th Century plantations of exotic conifers as an experimental system. We used next-generation ... -
A cosmopolitan, Sami-friendly scholar? Väinö Tanner on the best way to treat the Sami
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The topic of this article is Väinö Tanner’s views on Sami policies, which are searched from numerous contexts, including his personal career and Nordic Sami policies. Also the discur-sive resources, which he re-produced, are charted. Of the contemporaneous Sami policies, he ad-vocated the Swedish variant, which suited better his agendas in his scholarly production on the Skolt Sami. The origin of ... -
Circumpolar Arctic vegetation: a hierarchic review and roadmap toward an internationally consistent approach to survey, archive and classify tundra plot data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)Satellite-derived remote-sensing products are providing a modern circumpolar perspective of Arctic vegetation and its changes, but this new view is dependent on a long heritage of ground-based observations in the Arctic. Several products of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna are key to our current understanding.Wereview aspects of the PanArctic Flora, the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation ... -
Soapstone in northern Norway: research status, production evidence and quarry survey results
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015)Archaeological research on the production and use of soapstone artifacts in northern Norway remains limited in scope and the region has received marginal attention in the Norwegian soapstone literature. Archaeological documentation of soapstone quarry locations has been minimal, although the Geological Survey of Norway has systematically surveyed a majority of the soapstone exposures in the ... -

Influence of Reproductive Status: Home Range Size in Water Voles (Arvicola amphibius)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-26)The relationship between home range and reproductive status of water voles (Arvicola amphibius) was studied by radio-tracking on an island off the coast of northern Norway in 2006–2009. The aim was to test assumptions about the species’ social structure relative to other microtines. Juveniles used fairly small ranges (about 400 m²), with no difference between males and females. Subadults, overwintered ... -
Modelled drift patterns of fish larvae link coastal morphology to seabird colony distribution
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-13)Colonial breeding is an evolutionary puzzle, as the benefits of breeding in high densities are still not fully explained. Although the dynamics of existing colonies are increasingly understood, few studies have addressed the initial formation of colonies, and empirical tests are rare. Using a high-resolution larval drift model, we here document that the distribution of seabird colonies along the ...
