(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)In the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus model system, phenotypes are often classified into three morphs according to lateral plate number. Morph identity has been shown to be largely genetically determined, ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract The reproductive success of marine ectotherms is especially vulnerable in warming oceans due to alterations in adult physiology, as well as embryonic and larval survival prospects. These vital responses may, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)1. Distinguishing correlative and causal connections among time series is an important challenge in evolutionary biology, ecology, macroevolution and palaeobiology. 2. Here, we present layeranalyzer, an r package that ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Enterocin K1 (EntK1), enterocin EJ97 (EntEJ97), and LsbB are three sequence related leaderless bacteriocins. Yet LsbB kills only lactococci while EntK1 and EntEJ97 target wider spectra with EntK1 being particularly active ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The life span of leaves increases with their mass per unit area (LMA). It is unclear why. Here, we show that this empirical generalization (the foundation of the worldwide leaf economics spectrum) is a consequence of natural ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The aims of this paper are three-fold: 1. To analyse the development and stability in vegetative traits such as leaf shape, growth and pigmentation patterns in three different morphotypes (defined by leaf shape and ...

Learning and loving of nature in the Anthropocene. How to broaden science with curiosity and passion (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)What does “belonging to nature” mean today and how can children and young people be inspired to experience this? What basic dilemmas and challenges arise between the requirement for critical thinking on the one side, and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Den økende populariteten til sanking har gjort at tradisjonell kunnskap (TEK) om sanking i Norge nå blir diskutert gjennom mange steder, inkludert litteratur, litteratur på nettet, sosiale medier og in situ kurs. Bruken ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)During decomposition of organic matter, microbial communities may follow different successional trajectories depending on the initial environment and colonizers. The timing and order of the species arrival (assembly history) ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The supplementary feeding of cervids is a widespread practice across the northern hemisphere. There are few studies, however, regarding the extent of feeding in space and time. There are adverse effects of supplementary ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: L. tarentolae, the lizard-infecting species of Old World geckos, has been classified as non-pathogenic to man. While it has been demonstrated that L. tarentolae is capable of infecting human phagocytic cells ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract The genetic basis for the fine-tuned regulation of gene expression is complex and ultimately influences the phenotype and thus the local adaptation of natural populations. Short tandem repeats (STRs) ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Length-weight relationships (LWR), relative weight and relative condition factor were studied for three freshwater carideans (Atyaephyra acheronensis, Atyaephyra thyamisensis and Palaemon antennarius) from lotic and lentic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Predation is widely believed to exert strong selective pressure on primate behavior and ecology but is difficult to study and rarely observed. In this study, we describe seven encounters between lone wild leopards (Panthera ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been characterized by unprecedented rates of spatio-temporal spread. Here, we summarize the main events in the pandemic's timeline and evaluate what ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Persistent and lipophilic contaminants present in the oceans will accumulate in organisms through transfer in foodwebs. Many seabirds occupy high trophic positions in marine foodwebs, and may be used as bioindicators for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The flow of GPS data on animal space is challenging old paradigms, such as the issue of the scale-free Lévy walk versus scale-specific Brownian motion. Since these movement classes often require different protocols with ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)The pelagic zone is the largest ecosystem on Earth. The inhabitants of this ecosystem are not provided with any substances to hide behind. Diel vertical migration (DVM) is believed to be a trade-off between substantial ...
