The influence of food access on spermatophore production in the pelagic copepod, Temora longicornis (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)In studies on reproductive ecology of pelagic copepods, the role of males is often neglected and male reproductive investment is not well understood. Lately there has been an increasing interest in the topic and it has ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Heme c is characterized by its covalent attachment to a polypeptide. The attachment is typically to a CXXCH motif in which the two Cys form thioether bonds with the heme, “X” can be any amino acid other than Cys, and the ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Targeting the G2/M checkpoint mediator WEE1 has been explored as a novel treatment strategy in ovarian cancer, but mechanisms underlying its efficacy and resistance remains to be understood. Here, it is demonstrated that ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are a subset of a larger protein family called the type V secretion systems. They are localized on the cell surface of Gram‐negative bacteria, function as mediators of attachment ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract To elucidate the genomic traits of ecological diversification in the Hymenochaetales, we sequenced 15 new genomes, with attention to ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Coltricia species. Together with published data, ...

Insights into thermoadaptation and the evolution of mesophily from the bacterial phylum Thermotogae (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Thermophiles are extremophiles that grow optimally at temperatures >45 °C. To survive and maintain function of their biological molecules, they have a suite of characteristics not found in organisms that grow at moderate ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Fisheries management has to deal with uncertainty about the genetic composition and the location of fish stocks. If institutions are inert, i.e. unable to adapt to new insights, management may not be effective. This paper ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Over the last few years, genomic studies on Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of all known plague epidemics, have considerably increased in numbers, spanning a period of about 5,000 y. Nonetheless, questions concerning ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)The tendency of ectotherms to get larger in the cold (Bergmann clines) has potentially great implications for individual performance and food web dynamics. The mechanistic drivers of this trend are not well understood, ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)As the number of breeding pairs depends on the adult sex ratio in a monogamous species with biparental care, investigating sex-ratio variability in natural populations is essential to understand population dynamics. Using ...
