A new VKM report with a risk assessment of import of Turkestan cockroaches as a living food source for pet invertebrates and reptiles. Likely a low risk of establishment in a cold Nordic climate. In english (med et sammendrag på norsk).

Good start to the International Wader Study Group Conference 2025 in Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025. Interesting workshops on the using drones for breeding wader research and about knowledge gaps and policy strategies for conservation of Nordic waders.

Miljøeffektene av fornybar energi

NINA har ledet et samarbeidsprosjekt som har vurdert miljøeffektene av fornybar energi. Nå har vi publisert en nettside med interaktive kart som sammenligner vannkraft, vindkraft på land og solenergi. Bransjeprognoser med mer energiutbygging vil kreve miljømessige avveininger. tinyurl.com/4wabb9hd

Very happy to share that our paper presenting a framework for optimal movement decisions in complex landscapes has just been published in TREE @stephharris.bsky.social @jacobnabe.bsky.social tinyurl.com/d45s36y5

Silver Lining for Shorebirds: New Study Shows Arctic Nesting Species Are Cued into Climate Change Attentive long-distance migrants are following environmental cues better than expected, showing some shorebirds to be surprisingly adaptable.

Audubon Alaska has a new blog post on our article in Global Change Biology on the effects of climatic variation on timing of nesting in arctic-breeding shorebirds. Led by Eveling Tavera and Kirsty Gurney with the Arctic Shorebird Demographics Network. #ornithology 🪶 ak.audubon.org/news/arctic-...

Multebær in Norwegian. For traditional multekrem, the berries are whipped with heavy cream and a bit of sugar.

Global Wetland Outlook 2025 has been released by the Convention on Wetlands @ramsar.org. The report presents new information on the global extent and loss of wetlands, financial value of ecosystem services, and case studies of major conservation successes. www.global-wetland-outlook.ramsar.org

The kittiwake hotel at Vardø has high occupancy and good productivity of chicks. Great to see after the outbreak of avian flu two years ago. #urbankittiwake ebird.org/checklist/S2...

The hybrid duck was relocated today and reported with better photos on Artsobservasjoner. The observer suggests a possible hybrid cross between Pochard and Ferruginous Duck. www.artsobservasjoner.no/Image/3030043

Monitoring taiga-breeding waders in mires and wetland habitats of northern Norway. Nests found today included Ruff, Common Snipe, Spotted Redshank, and Wood Sandpiper. #ornithology

Found an odd male diving duck west of Kautokeino in Finnmark. A mixture of features suggest it might be a hybrid between Ring-necked Duck and Canvasback, both of which are North American species. A rare hybrid but then also unusual to turn up as vagrant in northern Norway. ebird.org/checklist/S2...

Er handel med størfisk en risiko for ville bestander?
For 9 av 11 arter er handel med villfanget fisk skadelig. For fisk fra akvakultur er informasjonen mangelfull og motstridende. Les mer om VKMs arbeid med CITES og risikovurderingen her: vkm.no/8041.htm

Concession areas for different types of renewable energy projects

New article on land use efficiency of renewable energy in Norway. Production density (GWh/km2) was highest for small hydropower and low for land-based wind. Storage hydropower needed to balance wind power at 0.2/1.0 TWh. Led by M.S. Kenawi with collaborators at NTNU and NINA. doi.org/10.1016/j.re...
