    • Archaeology and the debate on the transition from reindeer hunting to pastoralism. 

      Sommerseth, Ingrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The distinctive Sami historical land use concerning reindeer management and settlement of inner Troms, North Norway, is reflected in places with archaeological remains. The insight and knowledge connected with these places can be accessed through oral traditions and place-names where reindeer management is embedded in reindeer knowledge developed over long time spans. Previous distinctions between ...

    • "Lærerforum". Læreres bruk av og vurdering av et nettbasert veiledningstilbud. 

      Lund, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Mange tiltak foreslås for å ruste norske lærere til å møte stadig større pedagogiske utfordringer. Nettbasert veiledning er ett slikt tiltak, og forventningene til de teknologibaserte løsningene har vært store. Imidlertid mangler forskning på hvordan lærere anvender, og vurderer tilbud om nettbasert faglig støtte. Artikkelen belyser funn fra en studie av læreres bruk av det nettbaserte veiledningstilbudet ...

    • Synthetic Aperture Focusing of Ultrasonic Data From Multilayered Media Using an Omega-K Algorithm 

      Skjelvareid, Martin H.; Olofsson, Tomas; Birkelund, Yngve; Larsen, yngvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is used to create focused images from ultrasound scans. SAFT has traditionally been applied only for imaging in a single medium, but the recently introduced phase shift migration (PSM) algorithm has expanded the use of SAFT to multilayer structures. In this article we present a similar focusing algorithm called multi-layer omega-k (MULOK), which ...

    • Optimal foraging in chick-raising Common Guillemots (Uria aalge) 

      Bugge, Julie; Barrett, Robert T.; Pedersen, Torstein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The Norwegian population of the Common Guillemot Uria aalge has declined by > 95% since the 1960s, and is classified as critically endangered in the Norwegian Red List. Much of the recent decline has been attributed to reduced food availability, but without extensive documentation of adult diet. Instead, chick diet has been considered a proxy of adult diet during the breeding season in many Norwegian ...

      Aim An understanding of the non-breeding distribution and ecology of migratory species is necessary for successful conservation. Many seabirds spend the nonbreeding season far from land, and information on their distribution during this time is very limited. The black-legged kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla, is a widespread and numerous seabird in the North Atlantic and Pacific, but breeding ...

    • Negotiating with the public - a new role for ethnographic museums? 

      Bjørklund, Ivar; Brantenberg, Odd t; Eidheim, Harald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Indigenous peoples, like the Sami of Fenno-Scandinavia, continue to be the object of museum display in ethnographic museums. Most of these exhibits focus predominantly on culture history via objects that reveal the quality and richness of indigenous cultures, with less emphasis on the political struggles that indigenous peoples are involved in. This paper is a reflection on the experiences in ...

    • Long-term decline in egg size of Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica is related to changes in forage fish stocks and climate conditions 

      Barrett, Robert T.; Nilsen, Erlend Birkeland; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Due to major shifts in the marine ecosystem, many seabirds in the NE Atlantic have experienced short- and long-term breeding failures and population changes. One such seabird is the Atlantic puffin Fratercula arctica, the populations of which have declined in Norway at an annual rate of 2% over a ~30 yr period. Parallel to this decline, we found a significant decline in egg volume at 2 widely ...

    • A new interpretation of the sedimentary cover in the western Siljan Ring area, central Sweden, based on seismic data. 

      Juhlin, Christoffer; Sturkell, Erik; Ebbestad, Jan Ove R.; Lehnert, Oliver; Högström, Anette; Meinhold, Guido (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Two new reflection seismic profiles over the Paleozoic successions of the western part of the Siljan Ring impact structure show a contrasting seismic signature. The more southerly c. 10 km long Mora profile reveals a highly disturbed structure, with only a few kilometers of relatively horizontally layered structures observed. However, interpretations of refracted arrivals in the data, that can be ...

    • Unintended consequences: how the recovery of sea eagle Haliaeetus spp. populations in the northern hemisphere is affecting seabirds 

      Hipfner, Mark J.; Blight, Louise K.; Lowe, Roy W.; Wilhelm, Sabina I.; Robertson, Gregory J.; Barrett, Robert T.; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Good, Thomas P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The recovery of sea eagle Haliaeetus spp. populations in the temperate northern hemisphere in the closing decades of the 20th century is one of the great conservation success stories of recent times, but the re-establishment of these apex predators in marine systems has had consequences for seabirds. Sea eagles affect seabirds both directly (by taking adults and offspring and by inducing potentially ...

    • Range shifts and global warming: ecological responses of Empetrum nigrum L. to experimental warming at its northern (high Arctic) and southern (Atlantic) geographical range margin 

      Buizer, B; Weijers, S; van Bodegom, PM; Alsos, Inger Greve; Eidesen, Pernille Bronken; van Breda, J; de Korte, M; van Rijckevorsel, J; Rozema, J (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Global change is expected to lead to range shifts of plant species. The ecological mechanisms underpinning these shifts are currently not well understood. Here, we compared ecological responses possibly underlying southern range contraction and northern range expansion of Empetrum nigrum, a key species in northern heathlands, which may be related to global change. We hypothesized a negative ...
