Seasonal difference in temporal transferability of an ecological model: near-term predictions of lemming outbreak abundances
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-15)
Ecological models have been criticized for a lack of validation of their temporal transferability. Here we
answer this call by investigating the temporal transferability of a dynamic state-space model developed
to estimate season-dependent biotic and climatic predictors of spatial variability in outbreak abundance
of the Norwegian lemming. Modelled summer and winter dynamics parametrized by spatial ...
Community-wide mesocarnivore response to partial ungulate migration

Ecosystem drivers of an Arctic fox population at the western fringe of the Eurasian Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
The distribution of traditional breeding dens on the Varanger Peninsula (70–71°N) in northernmost
Fennoscandia indicates that this area once harboured a large Arctic fox population.
Early 20th century naturalists regarded the coastal tundra of the Fennoscandian Low Arctic to
be a stronghold for the species. At the start of our research in 2004, however, the local Arctic
fox population was ...
Transferability of biotic interactions: temporal consistency of arctic plant-rodent relationships is poor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-17)
Variability in biotic interaction strength is an integral part of food web functioning.
However, the consequences of the spatial and temporal variability of biotic interactions
are poorly known, in particular for predicting species abundance and distribution.
The amplitude of rodent population cycles (i.e., peak-phase abundances) has
been hypothesized to be determined by vegetation properties ...
Not only mosses: lemming winter diets as described by DNA metabarcoding
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-01)
The temporal dynamics of most tundra food webs are shaped by the cyclic population
dynamics of lemmings. While processes during winter may be behind the recent disruptions
of lemming cycles, lemming winter ecology is poorly known. We present here the first DNA metabarcoding data on the winter diet of Norwegian lemmings (Lemmus lemmus), based on feces collected after a winter of population ...
Assessing the effect of predator control on an endangered goose population subjected to predator-mediated food web dynamics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-29)
<ol>
<li>Assessing the effectiveness of conservation actions to halt population declines is challenging when confounded by other factors. We assessed whether culling of red fox, a predator currently increasing in number in the sub‐Arctic, contributed to recent recovery of the critically endangered Fennoscandian population of Lesser White‐fronted Goose <i>Anser erythropus</i>, while controlling for ...
