(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)An effect of hydropower and hydropeaking regulation in rivers is stranding of fish. Those fishes that survive stranding may experience stranding as a stressful situation. In four experimental stranding experiments (each ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Arctic zooplankton develop large energy reserves, as an adaptation to strong seasonality, making them valuable prey items. We quantified the energy content (kJ g−1 dry weight) of abundant krill (arcto-boreal, Thysanoessa ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)In facultative partial migrants some individuals in a population are migratory and others are resident and individuals decide each year anew which strategy to choose. While the proportion of birds migrating is in part ...

(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)The aim of this thesis was to combine computational and experimental methods to engineer high affinity gluten pMHC specific antibodies, validate them, and use them to study peptide presentation in CeD patients and explore ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)We use natural language processing (NLP) to retrieve location data for cheilostome bryozoan species (text-mined occurrences (TMO)) in an automated procedure. We compare these results with data combined from two major public ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Agricultural practices to improve yields in small‐scale farms in Africa usually focus on improving growing conditions for the crops by applying fertilizers, irrigation, and/or pesticides. This may, however, have limited ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background The class Diphyllatea belongs to a group of enigmatic unicellular eukaryotes that play a key role in reconstructing the morphological innovation and diversification of early eukaryotic evolution. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Among primates, the suborder Haplorhini is considered to have evolved a consolidated monophasic sleep pattern, with diurnal species requiring a shorter sleep duration than nocturnal species. Only a few primate species have ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Marine tailings disposal from mineral production is expected to have an environmental impact. In this case study we use a discharge of limestone processing tailings to a Norwegian fjord to describe an adaptive management ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Subarctic lakes are getting warmer and more productive due to the joint effects of climate change and intensive land-use practices (e.g. forest clear-cutting and peatland ditching), processes that potentially increase ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2024)The endosperm, the nutrient reservoir in the seed, account for 70% of the human caloric intake worldwide. Understanding the genetic regulation of, and influences of external factors on endosperm development is important ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax, a disease that primarily affects herbivorous animals, is a soil borne endospore-forming microbe. Environmental distribution of viable spores determines risky landscapes ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2021)Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring methods are increasingly used as a supplement or substitute to conventional monitoring. This rapidly advancing research field promises improvements for aquatic species conservation and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The deep seafloor serves as a reservoir of biodiversity in the global ocean, with >80% of invertebrates at abyssal depths still undescribed. These diverse and remote deep‐sea communities are critically under‐sampled and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)In changing environments, phenotypic traits are shaped by numerous agents of selection. The optimal phenotypic value maximizing the fitness of an individual thus varies through time and space with various environmental ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The vertical migrations performed by zooplankton at daily and seasonal scales are important for marine ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. We analysed associations between seasonal variation in abundance and depth ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Parents can maximize their reproductive success by balancing the trade-off between investment per offspring and fecundity. According to theory, environmental quality influences the relationship between investment per ...
