A benefit-cost analysis framework for prioritization of control programs for well-established invasive alien species
Blaalid, Rakel; Magnussen, Kristin; Westberg, Nina Buvik; Navrud, Ståle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Invasive alien species (IAS) are identified as a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem services. While early detection and control programs to avoid establishments of new alien species can be very cost-effective, ... -
Current knowledge of Chytridiomycota diversity in Northern Europe and future research needs
Blaalid, Rakel; Khomich, Maryia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Chytridiomycota is the most species-rich phylum of basal lineage fungi involved in vital processes in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Still, the diversity and richness of this group remains cryptic. In Northern ... -
Directed endozoochorous dispersal by scavengers facilitate sexual reproduction in otherwise clonal plants at cadaver sites
Arnberg, Mie Prik; Frank, Shane; Blaalid, Rakel; Davey, Marie Louise; Eycott, Amy Elizabeth; Steyaert, Sam (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The regeneration niche of many plant species involves spatially and temporally unpredictable disturbances, called recruitment windows of opportunity. However, even species with clear dispersal adaptations such as fleshy ... -
The Future of DNA Barcoding: Reflections from Early Career Researchers
Grant, Danielle M.; Brodnicke, Ole Bjørn; Evankow, Ann; Ferreira, André O.; Fontes, João T.; Hansen, Aslak Kappel; Jensen, Mads Reinholdt; Kalaycı, Tuğba Ergül; Leeper, Alexandra Eve Joyce; Patil, Shalaka Kiran; Prati, Sebastian; Reunamo, Anna; Roberts, Aradhana J; Shigdel, Rajesh; Tyukosova, Valentina; Bendiksby, Mika; Blaalid, Rakel; Costa, Filipe O.; Hollingsworth, Peter M.; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Over the last two decades, the use of DNA barcodes has transformed our ability to identify and assess life on our planet. Both strengths and weaknesses of the method have been exemplified through thousands of peer-reviewed ... -
Habitat Protection Approaches Facilitate Conservation of Overlooked Fungal Diversity–A Case Study From the Norwegian Coastal Heathland System
Blaalid, Rakel; Davey, Marie Louise (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)European coastal heathlands are distinct ecosystems shaped by land use tradition and they have experienced an 80% area reduction from their historical maximum. These mosaics of mires and wind exposed patches have ericaceous ... -
Seasonal variation in urban pollen resource use by north temperate European honeybees
Davey, Marie Louise; Blaalid, Rakel; Dahle, Sondre; Stange, Erik; Barton, David Nicholas; Rusch, Graciela Monica (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Urban green infrastructure can provide important habitats for pollinators and support urban ecosystem services. Therefore, these areas must be managed to maximize biodiversity and density of pollinating insects. We used ...
