Effects of chronic dietary petroleum exposure on reproductive development in polar cod (Boreogadus saida)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-04)
Increasing human activities in the Arctic raise the risk of petroleum pollution, thus posing an elevated risk for Arctic organisms to be chronically exposed to petroleum compounds. The endocrine disrupting properties of some of these compounds (i.e. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs]) present in crude oil may have negative effects on the long and energy intensive reproductive development of ...
An empirical evaluation of spatial value transfer methods for identifying cultural ecosystem services
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-09)
A significant barrier to the assessment of ecosystem services is a lack of primary data, especially for cultural ecosystem services. Spatial value transfer, also known as benefits transfer, is a method to identify the probable locations of ecosystem services based on empirical spatial associations found in other geographic locations. To date, there has been no systematic evaluation of spatial value ...
Harvest control rules in modern fisheries management
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-20)
Harvest control rules have become an important tool in modern fisheries management, and are increasingly adopted to provide continuity in management practices, to deal with uncertainty and ecosystem considerations, and to relieve management decisions from short-term political pressure. We provide the conceptual and institutional background for harvest control rules, a discussion of the structure of ...
Bioluminescence as an ecological factor during high Arctic polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
Bioluminescence commonly influences pelagic trophic interactions at mesopelagic depths. Here we characterize a vertical gradient in structure of a generally low species diversity bioluminescent community at shallower epipelagic depths during the polar night period in a high Arctic fjord with in situ bathyphotometric sampling. Bioluminescence potential of the community increased with depth to a peak ...
Expanding the unit of analysis from firms to supply networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-22)
Purpose: There is strong interest in new supply chain management
(SCM) constructs as contemporary academic writers call for more theory and more
multidisciplinary research. There is, however, little guidance on how to develop relevant
SCM constructs, and one problem is that current SCM research addresses
different units of analysis, ranging from transactions to entire supply networks. The
choice ...
PARASITES FAUNA OF THE LAKE KRONOTSKOE CHARRS (SALVELINUS), KAMCHATKA
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The new data on the parasites fauna of the Lake Kronotskoe sympatric charr forms (genus
Salvelinus (Nilsson) Richardson, 1836) is presented. Parasites fauna of Bigmouth and
Smallmouth charr forms are described for the first time. The information about Longhead
charr, Nosed charr and White charr parasites is added. 29 species of parasites from 9 classes
were found: Oligohymenophorea, Myxosporåà, ...
Vertical fluxes of nitrate in the seasonal nitracline of the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-31)
<p>This study compiles colocated oceanic observations of high-resolution vertical profiles of nitrate concentration and turbulent microstructure around the Svalbard shelf slope, covering both the permanently ice-free Fram Strait and the pack ice north of Svalbard. The authors present an overview over the seasonal evolution of the distribution of nitrate and its relation to upper ocean stratification. ...
The effect of co-creation experience on outcome variable
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-04)
This study examines the underlying dimensions of co-creation of an experience in the context of tourism and its effects on behavioral consequences such as tourists’ satisfaction with the co-creation of an experience, subjective well-being, and loyalty to the service provider. The purpose of the study is achieved by showing that that tourists’ co-creation of an experience positively affects the ...
Assessing the added value of the recent declaration on unregulated fishing for sustainable governance of the central Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-21)
The ‘Declaration concerning the prevention of unregulated high seas fishing in the central Arctic Ocean’ signed by the Arctic 5 nations, limits unregulated high seas fishing in the central part of the Arctic Ocean, and holds potential social, economic and political impacts for numerous stakeholders. In this paper, the four Interim Measures in the Declaration are discussed and what value these measures ...
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-10)
The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional ...
