What are the impacts of reindeer/caribou (Rangifer tarandus L.) on arctic and alpine vegetation? A systematic review protocol
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Abstract Background: Reindeer and caribou (both belonging to the species Rangifer tarandus L.) are among the most important large herbivores in Eurasia’s and North America’s arctic, alpine and boreal zones. In Sweden, the impact of reindeer grazing on arctic and alpine vegetation has recently been re-evaluated. In the 1990s, records of grazing-related vegetation degradation helped to form a ... -
What are the impacts of reindeer/caribou (Rangifer tarandus L.) on arctic and alpine vegetation? A systematic review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-23)Background: The reindeer (or caribou, Rangifer tarandus L.) has a natural range extending over much of Eurasia’s and North America’s arctic, alpine and boreal zones, yet its impact on vegetation is still unclear. This lack of a common understanding hampers both the management of wild and semi-domesticated reindeer populations and the preservation of biodiversity. To achieve a common platform, we ... -
What Determines the Purchase Intention of Liquid Milk during a Food Security Crisis? The Role of Perceived Trust, Knowledge, and Risk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-16)Until today, inadequate food supply, malnutrition, food adulteration, etc., are still the key concern in developing economies. In order to address these issues of food security crisis, and to stimulate a sustainable supply of liquid milk (LM), a consumer behavior model was created, in which consumers’ perceived knowledge, trust and risk were the major catalysts. To shed light on this context, the ... -
What do the Great Barrier Reef management and Norwegian spatial fisheries management have in common?
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)What do the Great Barrier Reef management and Norwegian spatial fisheries management have in common? The presentation addresses the importance of governmentality (Foucault 1978), understood as the art of governing for successful marine governance (MG). Management of the Great Barrier Reef and the Norwegian spatial management of fisheries are used as examples of systems that depends on and foster ... -
What Do the IUCN Categories Really Protect? A Case from the Alpine Regions in Spain?
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2012)The protected area (PA) coverage is used as an indicator of biodiversity protection worldwide. The effectiveness of using PAs as indicators has been questioned due to the diversity of designations included in such measures, especially those PAs established for other purposes than biodiversity protection. Although international standards have been developed by the International Union for Conservation ... -
What Do the IUCN Categories Really Protect? A Case Study of the Alpine Regions in Spain.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Protected area (PA) coverage is used as an indicator of biodiversity protection worldwide. The effectiveness of using PAs as indicators has been questioned due to the diversity of categories encompassed by such designations, especially in PAs established for purposes other than biodiversity protection. Although international standards have been developed by the International Union for Conservation ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-22)As part of the 2022 Norwegian Skiing Championship, the students at Harstad Business School, UiT the Arctic University of Norway, conducted a successful project event called ‘Sidetrack’ to provide fun and enjoyment for the public and the participants. Our study is based on qualitative interviews with eight students to reveal their learning experiences in relation to factors that contributes to the ... -
What feeds the benthos in the Arctic basins? Assembling a carbon budget for the deep Arctic ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-16)Half of the Arctic Ocean is deep sea (>1000 m), and this area is currently transitioning from being permanently ice-covered to being seasonally ice-free. Despite these drastic changes, it remains unclear how organisms are distributed in the deep Arctic basins, and particularly what feeds them. Here, we summarize data on auto- and heterotrophic organisms in the benthic, pelagic, and sympagic realm ... -
What hat are you wearing? On the multiple roles of fishery scientists in the ICES community
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-29)Trends towards a more participatory agenda in policy-relevant science imply that the roles and work tasks of scientists become more multifaceted. In Europe, the increased use of multiannual plans creates a need for fishery scientists to contribute with their expertise in a wide variety of situations. We identify and characterize four roles for scientists as <i>developers</i>, <i>reviewers</i>, ... -
What influences tourists' overall holiday experience? Tourism company products versus destination products
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-19)There are as yet to our knowledge no systematic investigations comparing the effects of specific tourism company product and total destination product components on tourists’ experience. The current study addressed this particular issue, based upon a convenience sample of 867 tourists visiting Northern Norway in the summer of 2011. The study results indicated that the effect of the company product ... -
What is a fish? The life and legend of David L.G. Noakes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-17)David Lloyd George Noakes (1942–2020) is best known for his insatiable curiosity, his quick wit and dry sense of humor, his scientific contributions to the field of animal behaviour, and his ability to form and maintain long-lasting connections. His research interests were vast but remained grounded in early life history, behaviour, social behaviour, the evolution of behaviour, behavioural genetics, ... -
What Is the Impact of Accidentally Transporting Terrestrial Alien Species? A New Life Cycle Impact Assessment Model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-08)Alien species form one of the main threats to global biodiversity. Although Life Cycle Assessment attempts to holistically assess environmental impacts of products and services across value chains, ecological impacts of the introduction of alien species are so far not assessed in Life Cycle Impact Assessment. Here, we developed country-to-country-specific characterization factors, expressed as the ... -
What is the true influence of the red tide on the production, price and marketing of the Galician mussel?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-08-14)In recent years, the Galician mussel industry has encountered an environmental factor capable of influencing its sea farming; the red tide. Its environmental and economic impact on mussel aquaculture is directly related to the duration of toxic processes. Therefore, in this work will be used the number of days of closure of production areas in order to analyze what is the true influence that red ... -

What we do in the dark: Prevalence of omnivorous feeding activity in Arctic zooplankton during polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-04)During the productive polar day, zooplankton and sea-ice amphipods fulfill a critical role in energy transfer from primary producers to higher trophic-level species in Arctic marine ecosystems. Recent polar night studies on zooplankton and sea-ice amphipods suggest higher levels of biological activity than previously assumed. However, it is unknown if these invertebrates maintain polar night activity ... -
When a year is not enough: Further study of the seasonality of planktonic protist communities structure in an ice-free high arctic fjord (adventfjorden, west spitsbergen)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-20)As a contribution to understanding the ecological framework of protistan seasonal succession patterns, we present the weekly-to-monthly (January–October) light microscopy-based study of nano- and microplanktonic protist communities of Adventfjorden waters in 2013. In general, protist dynamics corresponded to the classic paradigm for the Arctic ice-free waters with extremely low abundance and diversity ... -
