Free-ranging reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) eat a diverse diet of graminoids, herbs, shrubs, woody plants, mushroom, lichen and mosses. DNA metabarcoding is an established method in dietary studies and through e.g. ...

The differences in early life history traits among populations of grayling in Lake Lesjaskogvatn and surrounding lakes have been extensively studied the last decades. These populations are the offspring of a small group ...

It is unclear whether intertidal organisms are ‘preadapted’ to cope with the increase of temperature and temperature variability or if they are currently at their thermal tolerance limits. To address the dichotomy, we ...

Sandtjern nature reserve, located on the Gardermoen Delta, SE Norway, consists of a series of kettle holes that are subjected to severe annual wet-dry cycles due to flooding. In the rainy season in late autumn, the kettle ...

Studying herbal products derived from local and traditional knowledge and their value chains is one of the main challenges in ethnopharmacology. The majority of these products have a long history of use, but non-harmonized ...

Extracellular vesicles secreted by Gram-negative bacteria have proven to be important in bacterial defense, communication and host-pathogen relationships. They resemble smaller versions of the bacterial mother cell, with ...

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is ubiquitous in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the cause of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation. Erythrocytes are important target cells for PRV. We have investigated the kinetics ...

The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ...

The WEE1-inhibitor MK-1775 is currently in clinical trials as an anti-cancer drug. In response to DNA damage, human cells activate cell cycle checkpoints to temporarily halt cell cycle progression, and this helps facilitating ...
