(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Supplemental feeding for ungulates is a widespread practice in many human-dominated landscapes across Europe and North America, mainly intended to seasonally support populations. Surprisingly, little consideration was given ...

Protist diversity across a marine - freshwater gradient with a special focus on the X-cell parasiteRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Protists are a highly abundant and diverse group of microorganisms that hold important ecological roles in all aquatic ecosystems. Phototrophic protists are responsible for a large portion of the global primary production, ...

Protists in the intestinal content of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.), with a special emphasis on two parasite groups; the X-cell and Mesomycetozoa.Restricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Protists have representatives in all but one of the kingdoms in the tree of life and are highly important in the oceans, where they generate most of the carbon-flow in the first trophic levels. Parasitic lineages work as ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)The ALKBH family of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases comprises enzymes that display sequence homology to AlkB from E. coli, a DNA repair enzyme that uses an oxidative mechanism to dealkylate methyl and etheno ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Resource quantity and quality are fundamental bottom-up constraints on consumers. Best understood in autotroph-based systems, co-occurrence of these constraints may be common but remains poorly studied in detrital-based ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Rab7a, a small GTPase of the Rab family, is localized to late endosomes and controls late endocytic trafficking. The discovery of several Rab7a interacting proteins revealed that Rab7a function is closely connected to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Autophagy (macroautophagy) is a highly conserved eukaryotic degradation pathway in which cytosolic components and organelles are sequestered by specialized autophagic membranes and degraded through the lysosomal system. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)We have previously shown that aberrant promoter methylation of ZNF331 is a potential biomarker for colorectal cancer detection with high sensitivity (71%) and specificity (98%). This finding was recently confirmed by others, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) survive without oxygen for several months, but it is unknown whether they are able to protect themselves from cell death normally caused by the absence, and particularly return, of oxygen. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)The importance of forests of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea along the Norwegian coast is related to the three dimensional structure that they create together with the associated macroalgae. Today, kelp forests have recovered ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Most suids (Mammalia: Suidae, pigs) worldwide are omnivores living in closed environments, but the African warthog (Phacochoerus) has special adaptations for grazing in open environments. Similar specializations have been ...

The role of Gβγ subunits in pertussis toxin amplification of β-adrenoceptor evoked activation of adenylyl cyclaseRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)The inhibitory G protein (Gi) has been proposed to participate in β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) signaling, but not in β1-adrenergic receptor (β1AR) signaling. Pertussis toxin (PTX) ADP-ribosylates and inhibits Gi, and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Large herbivores gain nutritional benefits from following the sequential flush of newly emergent, high-quality forage along environmental gradients in the landscape, termed green wave surfing. Which landscape characteristics ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Copepods are said to be the key link between the primary producers and higher trophic levels. They inhabit all oceans and are found in almost all marine communities. In the ocean, it is common to observe skewed sex-ratios ...
