(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ethiopia is home to one of the richest and most unique assemblages of fauna and flora on the African continent. Contained within its borders are two major centers of endemism, the mesic Roof of Africa (also known as the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Intraspecific trait variation has large effects on the ecosystem and is greatly affected by human activities. To date, most studies focused on single-trait analyses, while considering multiple traits is expected to better ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Each year large numbers of escaped farmed salmon migrate in Norwegian rivers and some partake in spawning. Offspring with varying degrees of domestication inhabit river systems together with wild conspecifics. As climate ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding the effects of ecological disturbances in coastal habitats is crucial and timely as these are anticipated to increase in intensity and frequency in the future due to increasing human pressure. In this study ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Changing climate is expected to alter precipitation patterns in the Arctic, with consequences for subsurface temperature and moisture conditions, community structure, and nutrient mobilization through microbial belowground ...
