(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The decrease in Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness as a result of global warming will impact the timing, duration, magnitude and composition of phytoplankton production with cascading effects on Arctic marine food-webs ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2016)Sperm morphological traits are highly variable among species and are commonly thought to evolve by post-copulatory sexual selection. However, little is known about the evolutionary dynamics of sperm morphology, and whether ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2022)The Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) stock inhabits the Barents Sea and spawns along the Norwegian coast. We investigated the early life stages of this stock by combining in situ observations with statistical analysis ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Aberrant pro-survival signaling is a hallmark of cancer cells, but the response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the initial signaling response to standard induction chemotherapy ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)While invasive species obtain widespread attention for their ecological implications, the earlier stages of their invasion usually remain as uncharted territory. Procambarus clarkii is well known for being one of the most ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Harmful algae bloom (HAB) forecasting has developed rapidly over recent decades, but predicting harmful levels of marine biotoxins in shellfish is still a challenge. New discoveries suggest that predator-prey interactions ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The Red Queen Hypothesis proposes that perpetual co-evolution among organisms can result from purely biotic drivers. After more than four decades, there is no satisfactory understanding as to which mechanisms trigger Red ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The steady increase in global ocean temperature will most likely lead to nutrient limitation in the photic zone. This will impact the physiology of marine algae, including the globally important calcifying coccolithophores. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)Primates habitats are being increasingly fragmented by human activities worldwide. The behavioural flexibility exhibited by vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) is assumed to be crucial in the species ability to persist ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)In this contribution, we develop a theoretical framework for linking microprocesses (i.e., population dynamics and evolution through natural selection) with macrophenomena (such as interconnectedness and modularity within ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Identifying and quantifying the effects of climate change that alter the habitat overlap of marine predators and their prey population distributions is of great importance for the sustainable management of populations. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The impacts of early ecological globalisation may have had profound economic and environmental consequences for human settlements and animal populations. Here, we review the extent of such historical impacts by investigating ...
-
Ecological Memory of Historical Contamination Influences the Response of Phytoplankton Communities (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ecological memory (EM) recognizes the importance of previous stress encounters in promoting community tolerance and thereby enhances ecosystem stability, provided that gained tolerances are preserved during non-stress ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Human activities can cause habitat degradation that may alter the types and quality of available food resources and thus influence the microbiomes of wild animal populations. Furthermore, seasonal shifts in food availability ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Size-selective mortality due to harvesting is a threat to numerous exploited species, but how it affects the ecosystem remains largely unexplored. Here, we used a pond mesocosm experiment to assess how evolutionary responses ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)There is a pressing need to apply stability and resilience theory to environmental management to restore degraded ecosystems effectively and to mitigate the effects of impending environmental change. Lakes represent excellent ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2023)In the future, pesticide transport and exposure in aquatic environments are expected to be altered by land-use and climate changes. These changes may lead to higher exposure concentrations and changes in agricultural ...
-
Ecological transitions and evolutionary genomics of the invasive brown rot fungus Serpula lacrymans (Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2023)This thesis explores the ecological transitions and evolutionary genomics of the dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans and related species within the Serpulaceae family. Phylogenetics, evolutionary genomic approaches, as well ...
