Norwegian-Spanish cooperation to study human disturbance on brown bears. Applications for the conservation and management of bears in Europe

Understanding the effects of human activities on wildlife is challenging for large carnivores. During my PhD I studied effects of human activities on the behavior of brown bears, which showed fine-scale behavioral responses to human activities. Now I am l eading a project to compare bear behavior...

Socially and corticosterone mediated differences in individual helping behaviour in a cooperatively breeding bird

In cooperative breeding, helpers contribute to raising offspring that are not their own. Despite the success of theories such as kin selection in explaining broad patterns of helping, large amounts of within- and between-individual variation in helping ef fort remains unexplained. Much of this pr...

Influence of basal ice shelf conditions on ice sheet stability in Dronning Maud Land through radio-echo sounding and ice-sheet modelling.

Radio-echo sounding is a widespread remote sensing method used in glaciology to obtain a wide range of information concerning boundary conditions of ice sheets. Radar emits electromagnetic waves. They propagate through the ice until they encounter dielect ric heterogeneities. The central concept ...
