(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)In this work Ignacio Cuervo and co-workers have studied different aspects of the transcriptional regulating processes implicated in embryonic stem cell differentiation and in the regulation and dysregulation of cancer ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)The challenge of biodiversity upscaling, estimating the species richness of a large area from scattered local surveys within it, has attracted increasing interest in recent years, producing a wide range of competing ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Although cities are human-dominated systems, they provide habitat for many other species. Because of the lack of long-term observation data, it is challenging to assess the impacts of rapid urbanization on biodiversity in ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Urbanization and rural–urban migration are two factors driving global patterns of disease and mortality. There is significant concern about their potential impact on disease burden and the effectiveness of current control ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract Neopterin, a product of activated white blood cells, is a marker of nonspecific inflammation that can capture variation in immune investment or disease-related immune activity and can be collected noninvasively ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Primates inhabiting human‐modified landscapes often exploit matrix habitat to supplement their diet with cultivated foods, at times resulting in economic losses and conflict with local people. Understanding human‐nonhuman ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Assessing phytoplankton diversity is of primary importance for both basic and applied ecological studies. Following the advances in molecular methods, phytoplankton studies are switching from using classical microscopy to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract Nest sites of animals are often concealed to keep vulnerable offspring from being detected by predators. Parents may use landmarks near the nest to relocate it quickly. We allowed blue tits ( Cyanistes caeruleus ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Abstract In 2016 Chronic Wasting Disease was discovered in Nordfjella, Norway for the first time in a female reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Since then Norwegian nature management have implemented several measures in the ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Standard toxicity tests expose springtails (Collembola) through soil, while dietary exposure tests with animals visible on a surface are less commonly applied. We refined a method for dietary chemical exposure for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wild boar Sus scrofa is increasing in numbers and extending its distribution across Europe and is difficult to control due to high reproductive potential. Dietary quality is a main determinant of wild boar population ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Spatiotemporal variation in natural selection is expected, but difficult to estimate. Pollinator‐mediated selection on floral traits provides a good system for understanding and linking variation in selection to differences ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Meibomian gland dysfunction is the most common cause of dry eye disease and leads to significantly reduced quality of life and social burdens. Because meibomian gland dysfunction results in impaired function of ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)The vertebrate immune system is an enormously complex arrangement of a large number of interdependent cell types, responsible for fending off harmful invasive organisms as well as aberrant cells within the host itself. The ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)RNA-Seq has become a widely used method to study transcriptomes, and it is now possible to perform RNA-Seq on almost any sample. Nevertheless, samples obtained from small cell populations are particularly challenging, as ...

Using target capture and next generation sequencing to resolve the phylogeny of the genus Crinum L. with emphasis on tropical African speciesRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)The use of remote video traps is a popular method of studying animal behavior in nature. It is an efficient, inexpensive and non-invasive way of obtaining samples from the field. In this study, I built and used video traps ...
