(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Although wild ungulate populations are heavily monitored throughout Europe, we understand little of how parasites affect population dynamics, and there is no systematic, long-term monitoring of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Epigenetikk er læren om arvelige mekanismer som regulerer aktiviteten til genene i ulike celler og vev som ikke involverer en endring i selve DNA-sekvensen. Om gener er skrudd av eller på er bestemt av epigenetiske merkelapper ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The ability to accurately determine the original source of invading species offers several powerful applications in invasive species ecology and management and may enable important information on the invading species in ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)The microbiome is important for many functions in animals, for example digestion, skin health and communication. Microbiome and immune system interactions are especially interesting in relation to possible odour signalling. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)An understanding of the behavior and habitat preferences of Greater Flamingos is crucial for the conservation of this species. The population of these birds is intricately connected to variations in the limnic habitat and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Studying the diet and feeding behavior of primates is essential to understanding their ecology and designing effective conservation plans. Despite decades of study on the hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) in lowland ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Understanding the impacts of habitat modification on primate feeding ecology is essential to design effective conservation management strategies. The dietary guild (e.g., frugivore, folivore, insectivore, and omnivore) of ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The main objective of the present study is to describe and compare the morphology of the female genitalia within a selected number of species and families of the lower Diptera. The results are presented as two papers with ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Among amphibians, conspecific chemical communication has been widely studied in Caudata. Adult anurans, by contrast, have received less attention. Recently, it was shown that chemical scents are also relevant for adult ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2018)1. Fencing is a contentious issue due to its impact on conservation. The Danish government aims to establish a 70 km fence towards the border of Germany and the agricultural ministry of Bulgaria erected 133 km fences along ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract How animals rewire cellular programs to survive cold is a fascinating problem with potential biomedical implications, ranging from emergency medicine to space travel. Studying a hibernation-like response in the ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer which urgently requires new and efficient treatment strategies. A novel targeted agent for advanced melanoma, vemurafenib, has shown high response rates among patients ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Hepatic fibrogenesis is a wound healing response to continuous or chronic insults to the liver. The fibrotic stimuli are often based on disease, genetic disorders, abuse of alcohol and drugs or physical injury to the liver. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2018)Cryptic species could represent a substantial fraction of biodiversity. However, inconsistent definitions and taxonomic treatment of cryptic species prevent informed estimates of their contribution to biodiversity and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Background and aims – The species delimitations within the prostrate species with condensed inflorescence in Chlorophytum are ambiguous and the taxonomic rank of several of the species involved are disputed. This study ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Speciation involves the evolution of reproductive barriers that maintain the genetic integrity of species. Premating barriers, in particular, have been referred to as one of the most important mechanisms in keeping species ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Successful resource‐management and conservation outcomes ideally depend on matching the spatial scales of population demography, local adaptation, and threat mitigation. For marine fish with high dispersal capabilities, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Identifying the spatial scale of population structuring is critical for the conservation of natural populations and for drawing accurate ecological inferences. However, population studies often use spatially aggregated ...
