(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)A first survey of southern Norway to sample and examine Norwegian Kinorhyncha biodiversity. Also beginning to establish a sequence database for future use in Kinorhyncha barcoding.
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Ablation of glycosylated lysosomal membrane protein (GLMP, formerly known as NCU-G1) has been shown to cause chronic liver injury which progresses into liver fibrosis in mice. Both lysosomal dysfunction and chronic liver ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2013)Many African wildlife species are at risk of extinction as a result of habitat loss and fragmentation associated with human influence. Among these is the endangered antelope, mountain nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni), endemic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Partial migration is common among northern ungulates, typically involving an altitudinal movement for seasonally migratory individuals. The main driving force behind migration is the benefit of an extended period of access ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Recent studies suggest that previous estimates of mesopelagic biomasses are severely biased, with the new, higher estimates underlining the need to unveil behaviourally mediated coupling between shallow and deep ocean ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Over the last decades the phylogeography and genetic structure of a multitude of species inhabiting Europe and North America have been described. The flora and fauna of the vast landmasses of north-eastern Eurasia are still ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)In the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus model system, phenotypes are often classified into three morphs according to lateral plate number. Morph identity has been shown to be largely genetically determined, ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Enterocin K1 (EntK1), enterocin EJ97 (EntEJ97), and LsbB are three sequence related leaderless bacteriocins. Yet LsbB kills only lactococci while EntK1 and EntEJ97 target wider spectra with EntK1 being particularly active ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The aims of this paper are three-fold: 1. To analyse the development and stability in vegetative traits such as leaf shape, growth and pigmentation patterns in three different morphotypes (defined by leaf shape and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: L. tarentolae, the lizard-infecting species of Old World geckos, has been classified as non-pathogenic to man. While it has been demonstrated that L. tarentolae is capable of infecting human phagocytic cells ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Length-weight relationships (LWR), relative weight and relative condition factor were studied for three freshwater carideans (Atyaephyra acheronensis, Atyaephyra thyamisensis and Palaemon antennarius) from lotic and lentic ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Persistent and lipophilic contaminants present in the oceans will accumulate in organisms through transfer in foodwebs. Many seabirds occupy high trophic positions in marine foodwebs, and may be used as bioindicators for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The flow of GPS data on animal space is challenging old paradigms, such as the issue of the scale-free Lévy walk versus scale-specific Brownian motion. Since these movement classes often require different protocols with ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Practically every Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stock have suffered from depletion and overfishing, placing the fish on IUCN’s Red List as ‘Vulnerable’. The Skagerrak Coastal Cod stocks are in no better shape, reported to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Habitat loss and fragmentation have caused population decline across taxa through impacts on life history diversity, dispersal patterns, and gene flow. Yet, intentional isolation of native fish populations is a frequently ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Crucian carp are unusual among vertebrates in surviving extended periods in the complete absence of molecular oxygen. During this time cardiac output is maintained though these mechanisms are not well understood. Using a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)We make a comparison of the mesopelagic sound scattering layers (SLs) in two contrasting optical environments; the clear Red Sea and in murkier coastal waters of Norway (Masfjorden). The depth distributions of the SL in ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The deep scattering layer (DSL) is a ubiquitous acoustic signature found across all oceans and arguably the dominant feature structuring the pelagic open ocean ecosystem. It is formed by mesopelagic fishes and pelagic ...
