Erik Framstad
Main scientific experience covers population and habitat ecology of small mammals in boreal forests and mountain ecosystems. Applied research and consultancy work includes studies and assessments of boreal forest ecology, protected areas, ecological effects of agriculture and forestry on species and ecosystems, environmental impact assessments of infrastructure development projects, as well as assessments, indicators and monitoring of terrestrial biodiversity.
Main administrative experience covers management of NINA's research department in Oslo over > 25 yrs, as well as coordination of terrestrial ecosystem monitoring and major research projects and programmes on boreal forests or cultural landscapes.

Björn Nordén
I am a forest ecologist and conservation scientist, and an expert in the biodiversity of temperate deciduous forest (edelløvskog), the worlds’ most degraded biome. Since there is so little left of the temperate deciduous forest, restoration is necessary, and I have led several projects on experimental evaluation of restoration measures at various scales, from creation of microhabitats to release cutting and landscape effects.
There is a strong tendency of taxonomic bias within conservation, meaning that nearly all interest is focused on a few taxa such as large animals and vascular plants, while hyper-diverse taxa such as fungi and insects are often neglected. I therefore engage in both basic exploration of biodiversity within hyper-diverse taxa, and study the effects of habitat loss, management et c on multiple taxa, including plants, bryophytes, lichens, fungi, and various insect groups. As a trained mycologist, I have over 30 years professional experience and a long list of publications on the biodiversity, ecology, taxonomy and conservation of Ascomycota, including lichenized species. Knowledge on species identification and taxonomy of hyper-diverse taxa are essential for such studies, but highly threatened and decreasing skills worldwide. My own taxonomic expertise is within pyrenomycetoid ascomycetes, especially those associated with living trees and dead wood, and I have described several species new to science from the Nordic countries.
Starting with my PhD, I have also published several papers on dispersal ecology, effects of habitat continuity, and the use of Indicator species, especially concerning cryptogams.

Jon Hamner Magerøy
I have extensive experience with research on and monitoring of freshwater mussels in Norway, Canada and the USA. Research topics include habitat requirements, genetics, human impacts and ecosystem services, among others. As a part of this work, I have also studied confirmed and potential host fish for mussels. Therefore, I have gained experience with a variety of freshwater fish, both through experiments and field work. During my Ph.D., I worked on evolutionary theories on parasites that castrate their hosts. Specifically, I worked on a bacterium that castrates water fleas (daphnia).
Through my work on freshwater mussels I have also become a member of the IUCN mollusc specialist group (
Molluscs), member of the management committee for the research network CONFREMUS (
confremus.eu), which is a COST network for freshwater mussels in Europe, and member of the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society (
FMCS).

Trine Hay Setsaas
Wide experience working at the science-policy interface, from both the science and policy side and from national to global levels, and development and use of scientific knowledge, tools and methodologies in the conservation and management of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Working with applied and policy-relevant knowledge as well as promoting international collaboration. Holds the role as member of IPBES Task Force on Policy Tools and Methodologies and have previously held the role as Norway's national focal point for both CBD SBSTTA and UNCCD CST. Involved in the IPBES process since before its establishment, as a negotiator on behalf of the Norwegian Government. Now has a role as adviser to the Norwegian delegation to IPBES. Have been Norway's representative to the governing bodies of UN Environment and UN-Habitat in Nairobi, through the position as counsellor at the Royal Norwegian Embassy. At present working with facilitating and promoting international collaboration in applied environmental research as well as narrowing the gap between science and policy both in Norway and globally. Guest lecturer at both NTNU and NMBU.
