(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, trigger biodegradation of polymer-based nanoparticles (NPs) bearing pinacol-type boronic ester groups. These NPs may selectively release ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Degradation-specific processes and variation in laboratory protocols can bias the DNA sequence composition from samples of ancient or historic origin. Here, we identify a novel artifact in sequences from historic samples ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Diapause at depth is considered an integral part of the life cycle of Calanus copepods, but few studies have focused on the Arctic species Calanus glacialis and Calanus hyperboreus. By analyzing a large set of pan-arctic ...

Parallel Evolution of Complex Centipede Venoms Revealed by Comparative Proteotranscriptomic Analyses (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Centipedes are among the most ancient groups of venomous predatory arthropods. Extant species belong to five orders, but our understanding of the composition and evolution of centipede venoms is based almost exclusively ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Dinoflagellates are microscopic aquatic eukaryotes with huge genomes and an unusual cell regulation. For example, most genes are present in numerous copies and all copies seem to be obligatorily transcribed. The consequence ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Lipids generally represent the major matrix contributing to the absorptive capacity for hydrophobic organic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to determine whether contaminants partition ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Precise estimation of toxicity is essential in the risk assessment of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs). Toxicity testing of HOCs in aquatic bioassays is particularly challenging due to loss of substance from the water ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The lack of recovery in Norwegian populations of the kelp Saccharina latissima (Linnaeus) C. E. Lane, C. Mayes, Druehl & G. W. Saunders after a large-scale disturbance that occurred sometime between the late 1990s and early ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)Sarcomas arise in patients of all ages and account for approximately 1% of new cancer diagnoses in Norway and the United States. Osteosarcoma is a subtype of sarcoma that typically affects children and adolescents and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)There is a need for cost-efficient tools to explore deep-ocean ecosystems to collect baseline biological observations on pelagic fauna (zooplankton and nekton) and establish the vertical ecological zonation in the deep ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent man-made chemicals, ubiquitous in nature and present in human samples. Although restrictions are being introduced, they are still used in industrial processes as well as in ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized form of extracellular matrix in the CNS, embodying parvalbumin expressing inhibitory neurons. The PNN assembles towards the end of the period of heightened plasticity, the critical ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2020)This doctoral thesis entails work on learning and memory with the goal of understanding mechanisms that regulate plasticity and affect memory processing. Learning paradigms described here involve classical Pavlovian ...
-
Perineuronal nets in the entorhinal cortex and their role for the hippocampal place codeRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)The reciprocally connected entorhinal cortex and hippocampal formation (HF) are pivotal in spatial navigation and episodic memory. Principal neurons in these regions show spatially modulated activity with grid cells in the ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objective Earlier studies documenting the effect of candidate genes on recovery have seldom taken into consideration the impact of emotional distress. Thus, we aimed to assess the modifying effect of emotional ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)This thesis investigates the relationship between personality traits and natal dispersal for both sexes of the great tit Parus major in a population close to Oslo, Norway. Contrary to previous studies which focused only ...
-
(Master thesis / Group thesis / Masteroppgave / Gruppeoppgave, 2018)Per- og polyfluorerte alkylstoffer (PFAS) har blitt funnet i blodprøver fra sørjo (Catharacta maccormicki) tatt i løpet av hekkesesongen i kolonien i Svarthamaren (Dronning Mauds land, Antarktis). For å undersøke om disse ...
