Abstract
Originally, Trypophloeus dejevi (Stark, 1936) was described from Sakhalin Island in the Far East of Russia, and it remained undetected in Europe until 2009, when one Swedish specimen was found in the collection of the late Lars Huggert. This specimen was sampled in Northern Sweden in Torne Lappmark: Årosjokk, 67°52’ N/19°22’E, in 1968. In 2010, the species was found in five new localities in the same area. Here we present T. dejevi, recorded in 2012 as a new species to Norway and Finland. In Norway, galleries with beetles were found in Salix myrsinifolia Salisbury and in Finland Salix glauca L. was the observed host tree. Both are common willow species in Northern Fennoscandia. The distribution of the beetle within trunks of living Salix combined with a low population-density may be an explanation to why T. dejevi has been overlooked until now.

Abstract
For a quarter of a century, sustainable development has been on the political and research agendas. Within the field of landscape ecology, a wide array of research has documented the effects of alternative land uses, analysed driving forces of land use change and developed tools for measuring such changes, to mention but a few developments. There have also been great advances in technology and data management. Nevertheless, unsustainable land use continues to occur and the science of landscape ecology has had less influence on landscape change than aimed for. In this paper we use Norwegian examples to discuss some of the reasons for this. We examine mismatches in the spatial and temporal scales considered by scientists, decision-makers and those who carry out land use change, consider how this and other factors hinder effective communication between scientists and practitioners, and urge for a stronger focus on what it is that motivates people to action. We suggest that the concept of landscape services can be useful not only for researchers but also provide valuable communication and planning tools. Finally, we suggest more emphasis on applying adaptive management in landscape ecology to help close the gaps, both between researchers and policy and, even more crucially, between researchers and practitioners.
