(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)The three-spine stickleback is an adaptable fish with variation in morphology and behaviour, inhabiting saltwater, brackish water and fresh water. It is armoured with 30-35 bone plates along its lateral line. In addition, ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)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 ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)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 ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)In the last decades, limnic water bodies in the Northern hemisphere have experienced a noticeable browning, i.e., increasing levels of dissolved organic matter (DOM). While the effects on primary producers is usually ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)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 ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this study, we analyzed long‐term trends in calcium (Ca) concentrations for 70 Norwegian lakes spanning a broad geographical range and for a wide range of ambient drivers. A striking decline in Ca concentrations was ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Genetic assimilation emerges from selection on phenotypic plasticity. Yet, commonly used quantitative genetics models of linear reaction norms considering intercept and slope as traits do not mimic the full process of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Teleost fishes comprise more than half of all vertebrate species, yet genomic data are only available for 0.2% of their diversity. Here, we present whole genome sequencing data for 66 new species of teleosts, vastly expanding ...
