(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Rural livelihoods relying on agriculture are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Climate models project increasingly negative effects on maize and sorghum production in sub-Saharan Africa. We present a ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)The number of pathogens known to infect humans is ever increasing. Whether such increase reflects improved surveillance and detection or actual emergence of novel pathogens is unclear. Nonetheless, infectious diseases are ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Communication between the gametophytes is vital for angiosperm fertilisation. Multiple CrRLK1L‐type receptor kinases prevent premature pollen tube burst, while another CrRLK1L protein, FERONIA (FER), is required for pollen ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Recent studies have shown that crude oil exposure affects cardiac development in fish by disrupting excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. We previously found that eggs of Atlantic haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) bind ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)Molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized the taxonomy of crustose lichens and revealed an extensive amount of cryptic diversity. Resolving the relationships between genera in the crustose lichen family Tephromelataceae ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)SMUG1 is DNA repair protein, and Dyskerin (DKC1) is involved in maintaining telomeres. A recent publication has shown that SMUG1 interacts with DKC1 and contribute and the complex can be involved in RNA quality control ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Endogenous RNAi (endoRNAi) is a conserved mechanism for fine-tuning gene expression. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, several endoRNAi pathways are required for the successful development of reproductive cells. The ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)The tropical Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia is dominated by intertidal soft sediments, seagrass meadows and mangrove beaches. These habitats have been under high pressure for decades partly due to anthropogenic activity. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Context Within Rangifer ranges, many studies focus on expanding infrastructure and human activity negatively influencing habitat use. Little documentation exists on how disturbances act in synergy (i.e. cumulative ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to review biological effects of the exposure to organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in Arctic biota, there has been a considerable number of new Arctic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Selective breeding has been successfully applied to improve profitability and sustainability in numerous aquatic species. Recent developments of high throughput genotyping technology now enable the implementation of genomic ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The epicuticle of insects is usually coated with a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily straight-chain and methyl-branched alkanes and alkenes. We were interested in whether springtails (Collembola), a sister class ...
