Biogeography of jellyfish in the North Atlantic, by traditional and genomic methods
(Copernicus Publications, 2015-07-15)Scientific debate on whether or not the recent increase in reports of jellyfish outbreaks represents a true rise in their abundance has outlined a lack of reliable records of Cnidaria and Ctenophora. Here we describe ...Journal article -
Bulk de novo mitogenome assembly from pooled total DNA elucidates the phylogeny of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Complete mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be reliable markers for phylogeny reconstruction among diverse animal groups. However, the relative difficulty and high cost associated with obtaining de novo full mitogenomes ...Journal article -
Classification of Weevils as a data-driven science: leaving opinion behind
(Pensoft, 2014-09-08)Data and explicit taxonomic ranking criteria, which minimize taxonomic change, provide a scientific approach to modern taxonomy and classification. However, traditional practices of opinion-based taxonomy (i.e., mid-20th ...Journal article -
The complete mitochondrial genome of Scutopus ventrolineatus (Mollusca: Chaetodermomorpha) supports the Aculifera hypothesis
(BioMed Central, 2014-09-25)Background: With more than 100000 living species, mollusks are the second most diverse metazoan phylum. The current taxonomic classification of mollusks recognizes eight classes (Neomeniomorpha, Chaetodermomorpha, ...Journal article -
Contribution to the prehistory at Røst, Lofoten, North Norway, a multiproxy palaeoecological approach
