(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background The fungal genus Serpula (Serpulaceae, Boletales) comprises several saprotrophic (brown rot) taxa, including the aggressive house-infecting dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans. Recent phylogenetic ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)The delimitation of taxa in the Saxifraga rivularis complex is controversial. In the checklist for the Pan-Arctic Flora, the complex was tentatively divided into five species: the circumpolar S. hyperborea, the amphi-Atlantic ...

Evolutionary studies of uncultivated Radiolaria and their symbionts using Single Cell Whole Genome AmplificationRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Understanding the evolution of eukaryotes and resolving the Tree of Life is one of the major goals of biology. Protists (unicellular eukaryotes) play a crucial role in this quest being the earliest diverging eukaryotes and ...
-
Exploring co-genotoxicity of chemicals using traditional experimental methods and microarray systems (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Due to the use of a great number of existing chemicals and many new being produced, there is a strong need for efficient and cost-effective methods, in order to classify and regulate the use and release of these potential ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), a hematophagous ectoparasite of Cervids, is currently spreading in Scandinavia. In Norway, keds are now invading the south-eastern part of the country and the ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)We studied a willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) population breeding in Øvre Heimdalen, in Valdres, Norway. Several previous studies have found large differences in the amount of EPY (extra- pair young) in the broods ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2009)I denne studien har jeg analysert forhold og faktorer som påvirker artsrikhet av flercellet zooplankton i innsjøer i Norge. Oppgaven består av to deler: den ene delen tar for seg mitt eget arbeid, som er prøvetaking for ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)Disease in the male reproductive system seems to increase in industrialised countries. Examples are increasing rates of poor semen quality, and more cases of testicular cancer, - with Denmark and Norway having the World’s ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2012)Large herbivores and their grazing impact is an important subject in ecology. It is well known that grazing shapes the structure, diversity and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, but how the level of density dependence ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) were collected in two different fjords around Svalbard in 2006 to address their feeding ecology and growth. Kongsfjorden was sampled in spring and in autumn to investigate seasonal patterns. ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)The feeding behavior is favored by natural selection in the past and is based on getting a high fitness by maximizing net energy intake. Reproductive success among altricial birds is closely related to feeding strategies ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)Many freshwater fishes are fragmented into local populations. Brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a fish that express high genetic heterogeneity and are known to be structured into genetically differentiated subpopulations ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)Lake Finsevatnet is a regulated monomictic alpine lake situated a little north of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier in Ulvik, Hordaland county. The lake is regulated 3,3 meters at most. Lake Flakavatnet is also a monomictic ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)Denne undersøkelsen ble utført som en del av et større tareskogsprosjekt hvis mål var å opparbeide kunnskap om biodiversitet og produksjon i tareskogsområder. Langs norskekysten domineres tareskogen av stortare Laminaria ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)Sammendrag 37 arter fisk ble samlet inn ved hjelp av 28 tråldrag ved lokaliteter som er representative for dypvannsområdene (65-190 meter) i Oslofjorden i preioden Oktober 2004-Mai 2006. Totalt ble det samlet inn 5466 fisk. ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as a measure of environmental stress was studied in polar bear (Ursus maritimus) skulls from East Greenland (n = 300, collected during the period 1892-2004) and Svalbard (n = 391, collected during ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)Abstract Patterns in time series are observational records of past ecological processes, and identifying these processes remains a major challenge to population ecologists. Until recently, analysis of time series has ...
