(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Body size can have profound impacts on survival, movement, and reproductive schedules shaping individual fitness, making growth a central process in ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Realized growth is the result of a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present methodological advances to a recently developed framework to study sequential habitat use by animals using a visually-explicit and tree-based Sequence Analysis Method (SAM), derived from molecular biology and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)The human gut microbiota plays a vital role in health and disease, and microbial colonization is a key process in infant development. Here, we analyze 2684 fecal specimens from 12 infants during their first year of life, ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Claviceps purpurea is a phytopathogenic ascomycete that parasitizes various grasses, most notably rye. Instead of a grain the infected host plant produces a fungal sclerotium in the autumn, containing toxic indole-alkaloids ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans is known as one of the most aggressive fungal house invaders in temperate regions. Recent genetic and phylogeographic studies have shed light on the distribution, colonisation and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background The geographical expansion of the tick Ixodes ricinus in northern Europe is a serious concern for animal and human health. The pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum is transmitted by ticks and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Viral diseases pose a significant threat to the productivity in aquaculture. Heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) is an emerging disease in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming. HSMI is associated with Piscine ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) is an orthomyxovirus infecting salmonid fish. The virus is adapted to low temperature and has a replication optimum between 10–15 °C. In this study the subcellular localization and ...
-
Inferring genetic connectivity in real populations, exemplified by coastal and oceanic Atlantic cod (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Genetic data are commonly used to estimate connectivity between putative populations, but translating them to demographic dispersal rates is complicated. Theoretical equations that infer a migration rate based on the genetic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Inference of population and species histories and population stratification using genetic data is important for discriminating between different speciation scenarios and for correct interpretation ...
-
Inflammation and ER stress differentially regulate STAMP2 expression and localization in adipocytes (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Chronic ER stress and dysfunction is a hallmark of obesity and a critical contributor to metaflammation, abnormal hormone action and altered substrate metabolism in metabolic tissues, such as liver and adipocytes. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are promising in a wide variety of biomedical applications. However, there are several indications that AuNPs may be toxic and that particle ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Earlier studies suggest that lumbar radicular pain following disc herniation may be associated with a local or systemic inflammatory process. In the present study, we investigated the serum inflammatory protein profile of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Many northern freshwaters are currently experiencing a pronounced ‘browning’, that is an increase in terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Chromophoric DOC offers protection against photodamage by absorbing ...
-
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 / 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 ...
