(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract Some birds cover their eggs with nest material when they leave to forage. It has been suggested that such egg-covering aids thermoregulation or prevents predation but here we present a new hypothesis, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in ICES Journal of Marine Science following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version ICES J. Mar. Sci. (2013) is ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Reproductive investment is a central trait for population dynamics and productivity. Fishing and environmental variations are major drivers affecting population structure, dynamics, and adaptation of ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)In sexually reproducing taxa, normal sperm function is critical for successful reproduction, and pathogenic bacteria can prevent this. Thus, understanding the role of bacteria in ejaculates can have significant implications ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Plastic pollution has become a major threat to many marine ecosystems, and there is a need for an improved understanding of its impact on marine organisms. Studies have mainly focused on lower trophic levels, including ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)New point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of bacterial infections are imperative to overcome the deficiencies of conventional methods, such as culture and molecular methods. In this study, we identified new aptamers that bind to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Warming-induced range shifts along elevational and latitudinal gradients have been observed in several species from various taxa. The mobility and behavioral plasticity of large endothermic mammals, however, complicate the ...

Elucidation of the function of CW-MBD proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana - A potential role in light-mediated processesRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, currently affecting 50 million people worldwide. While plaques of misfolded protein amyloid-beta (Aβ) are a hallmark of the disease, drugs targeted to reduce ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Space demanding mammalian species, such as reindeer, are in decline worldwide due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Policy to restore connectivity of reindeer habitat is now put to an abrupt halt in several areas because ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building the Tree of Life (ToL) is a major challenge of modern biology, requiring advances in cyberinfrastructure, data collection, theory, and more. Here, we argue that phylogenomics stands to benefit by embracing the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cuttlefish are highly efficient predators, which strongly rely on their anterior binocular visual field for hunting and prey capture. Their complex eyes possess adaptations for low light conditions. Recently, it was ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The factors that drive the emergence of vector-borne diseases are difficult to identify due to the complexity of the pathogen-vector-host triad. We used a novel comparative approach to analyse four long-term datasets ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including brominated flame retardants (BFRs), perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and metals, can accumulate in marine mammals and be transferred to offspring. In this study, we analyzed ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Organisms need to constantly inform their cellular machinery about the biochemical and physical status of their surroundings to adapt and thrive. While some external signals are also sensed intracellularly, a considerable ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The diatom Pseudo-nitzschia H. Peragallo is perhaps the most intensively researched genus of marine pennate diatoms, with respect to species diversity, life history strategies, toxigenicity, and biogeographical distribution. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Los lagartos dependen principalmente de señales químicas y visuales para comunicarse y, en menor medida, de señales acústicas, por lo que en general se ha considerado que estos reptiles no emiten sonidos. Sin embargo, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Strength of species interaction may have profound effects on population dynamics. Empirical estimates of interaction strength is often based on the assumption that the interaction strengths are constant. Barents Sea cod ...
