(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Diatoms constitute a diverse lineage of unicellular organisms abundant and ecologically important in aquatic ecosystems. Compared to other protists, their biology and taxonomy are well-studied, offering the opportunity to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aquatic N-fixation is generally associated with the growth and mass development of Cyanobacteria in nitrogen-deprived photic zones. However, sequenced genomes and environmental surveys suggest active aquatic N-fixation ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) refers to one of the greatest increases in biodiversity during the Phanerozoic. Recent studies have shown that this taxonomic increase can be attributed to elevated ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2013)During reproduction, birds are confronted with two requirements: building up their energetic reserves during the activity period, and provisioning the nest. Storing reserves imposes a higher flight cost and a lower hunting ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Most animals are active during distinct diel periods. Salmonid fishes may shift from being mostly diurnal to being nocturnal in autumn and winter. As visual foragers, diurnal variation in prey availability and predation ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Diel vertical migration (DVM) is normally limited to the upper 1000 m. However, the use of ship-borne and stationary submerged echosounders in the Red Sea unveiled consistent formation of daytime patches extending to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Understanding the basic natural history of threatened primate taxa is crucial to developing and implementing successful conservation strategies for them. Data on feeding ecology and activity patterns are particularly ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Understanding the effects of habitat modification on the feeding strategies of threatened species is essential to designing effective conservation management plans. Bale monkeys (Chlorocebus ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)The exposure to diesel exhaust emissions (DEE) contributes to negative health outcomes and premature mortality. At the same time, the health effects of the exposure to biodiesel exhaust emission are still in scientific ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Cities are among the most extreme forms of anthropogenic ecosystem modification, and urbanization processes exert profound effects on animal populations through multiple ecological pathways. Increased access to human-associated ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2020)Killer whale groups may adopt remarkably specialized diets, feeding only on a small subset of available prey. Because variations in feeding habits may have implications for the conservation of this species, it is important ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)A new dataset on the diet of Atlantic cod in the Barents Sea from the 1930s to the present day has been compiled to produce one of the largest fish diet datasets available globally. Atlantic cod is one of the most ecologically ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Herring gulls (Larus argentatus) are opportunistic feeders, resulting in contaminant exposure depending on area and habitat. We compared contaminant concentrations and dietary markers between two herring gull breeding ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Differences in variation of phenotypic trait expression between males and females have been observed in multiple studies that are limited to one species, but meta-analytic evidence has failed to show consistent differences ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Several eukaryotic symbioses have shown to host a rich diversity of prokaryotes that interact with their hosts. Here, we study bacterial communities associated with ectomycorrhizal root systems of Bistorta vivipara compared ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The composition of intestinal microbiota commonly varies among animal hosts and may affect host health. However, we have limited knowledge about the different relative roles of assembly processes, such as drift, dispersal ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) structures that condense around the soma and proximal dendrites of subpopulations of neurons. Emerging evidence suggests that they are involved in regulating ...
