(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The workshop-hackathon was convened by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) at its secretariat in Copenhagen over 22-24 May 2013 with additional support from several projects (RCN4GSC, EAGER, VertNet, BiSciCol, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method has gained widespread use for distribution modelling, mostly because of the practical simplicity offered by the maxent.jar software. Whilst MaxEnt was originally described as a machine ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates. Here, we investigate the influence of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background Describing and evaluating miRNA inventories with Next Generation Sequencing is a goal of scientists from a wide range of fields. It requires high purity, high quality, and high yield RNA extractions ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background Microsatellites are frequently used genetic markers in a wide range of applications, primarily due to their high length polymorphism levels that can easily be genotyped by fragment length analysis. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The tropical alpine ecosystem in eastern Africa is highly fragmented among biological ‘sky islands’, where populations of frost-tolerant organisms are isolated from each other by a ‘sea’ of tropical lowlands. One-third of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)A recent comparative analysis of passerine birds found that the frequency of extra-pair paternity was positively associated with neutral genetic diversity. It has been hypothesised that migratory species have more extra-pair ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)Peculiar rocks consisting of large and rare minerals are known as nepheline syenite pegmatites and can be found in larvikite (national rock of Norway!) around the Larvik area. Detailed chemical analyses of a mineral called ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Premise of research. Self-compatibility is a requirement for reproductive assurance via selfing and may therefore be beneficial in environments with infrequent or unpredictable pollinator service. However, self-compatible ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Gene expression changes have been recognized as important drivers of adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Little is known about the relative roles of plastic and evolutionary responses in complex gene expression ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The genus Brevicellicium encompasses wood-inhabiting corticioid fungi characterized by isodiametric subhymenial hyphae, short basidia, and smooth, often subangular spores with a distinct apiculus. Eight new LSU nrDNA ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background Non-coding satellite DNA (satDNA) usually has a high turn-over rate frequently leading to species specific patterns. However, some satDNA families evolve more slowly and can be found in several ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)This thesis focuses on the molecular systematics of the lichen family Ramalinaceae and is based on both freshly collected and archived specimens. Tropical members of the family remain particularly understudied, including ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2016)A plethora of studies published over the last two decades produced numerous contradictory phylogenies leading to the lack of consensus on phylogenetic history in dung beetles. Thus, due to those contradictions, the community ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Agardhfjellet Formation (Middle Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous) of Svalbard (Norwegian Arctic) is well known for its abundant and unique marine reptile fauna, of ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. In an attempt to reconstruct ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)In spite of a fossil record spanning over 150 million years, pelvic girdle evolution in Ichthyopterygia is poorly known. Here, we examine pelvic girdle size relationships using quantitative methods and new ophthalmosaurid ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The material of the family Aphelinidae at the Natural History Museum of Oslo is revised. Twelve species not previously recorded from Norway have been found. One species Aphelinus quercus n. sp. is described and illustrated. ...
