Classification of Weevils as a data-driven science: leaving opinion behind
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ... -
Coincident mass occurrence of gelatinous zooplankton in Northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-23)In autumn 2015, several sources reported observations of large amounts of gelatinous material in a large north Norwegian fjord system, either caught when trawling for other organisms or fouling fishing gear. The responsible ... -
Comment to “Neoproterozoic magmatic arc systems of the central Ribeira belt, SE-Brazil, in the context of the West-Gondwana pre-collisional history: A review”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Scutopus ventrolineatus (Mollusca: Chaetodermomorpha) supports the Aculifera hypothesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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, ... -
Complex patterns of reticulate evolution in opportunistic weeds (Potentilla L., Rosaceae), as revealed by low-copy nuclear markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Background: Most cinquefoils (Potentilla L., Rosaceae) are polyploids, ranging from tetraploid (4x) to dodecaploid (12x), diploids being a rare exception. Previous studies based on ribosomal and chloroplast data indicated ... -
Complex sublinear burrows in the deep sea may be constructed by amphipods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Trails, burrows, and other “life traces” in sediment provide important evidence for understanding ecology—both of the maker and of other users—and behavioral information often lacking in inaccessible ecosystems, such as ... -
Considerations and consequences of allowing DNA sequence data as types of fungal taxa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06)Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement ... -
A consistent species richness–climate relationship for oaks across the Northern Hemisphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-15)Aim Although the effects of climate on species richness are known, regional processes may lead to different species richness–climate relationships across continents resulting in species richness anomalies, especially for ... -
Contrasting Biogeographic Patterns of Bacterial and Archaeal Diversity in the Top- and Subsoils of Temperate Grasslands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-01)Biogeographic patterns and drivers of soil microbial diversity have been extensively studied in the past few decades. However, most research has focused on the topsoil, while the subsoil is assumed to have microbial diversity ... -
Contribution to the prehistory at Røst, Lofoten, North Norway, a multiproxy palaeoecological approach
(Working paper, 2016)Archaeological, osteological and palynological data are presented and give evidence for use of the marginal and exposed archipelago Røst from the Neolithic onwards. Small sea level changes have affected the settled areas ... -
Converging on the orb: denser taxon sampling elucidates spider phylogeny and new analytical methods support repeated evolution of the orb web
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)High throughput sequencing and phylogenomic analyses focusing on relationships among spiders have both reinforced and upturned long‐standing hypotheses. Likewise, the evolution of spider webs—perhaps their most emblematic ... -
A critical discussion of the subduction-collision model for the Neoproterozoic Araçuaí-West Congo orogen
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Neoproterozoic Araçuaí-West Congo orogen in Brazil and Congo represents a branch of the Brasiliano/Pan-African orogenic system that is considered to terminate northward into a confined cratonic environment defined by ... -
Cryptic persistence and loss of local endemism in Lake Constance charr subject to anthropogenic disturbance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the welcome circumstance that species believed extinct are rediscovered, it is often the case that biological knowledge acquired before the presumed extinction is limited. Efforts to address these knowledge gaps, in ... -
Cuisine in transition? Organic residue analysis of domestic containers from 9th-14th century Sicily
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)From the 9th to 14th centuries AD, Sicily experienced a series of rapid and quite radical changes in political regime, but the impact of these regime changes on the lives of the people that experienced them remains largely ... -

Current knowledge of Chytridiomycota diversity in Northern Europe and future research needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Chytridiomycota is the most species-rich phylum of basal lineage fungi involved in vital processes in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Still, the diversity and richness of this group remains cryptic. In Northern ... -
The Current State of Eunicida (Annelida) Systematics and Biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this study, we analyze the current state of knowledge on extant Eunicida systematics, morphology, feeding, life history, habitat, ecology, distribution patterns, local diversity and exploitation. Eunicida is an order ... -
Deceleration of morphological evolution in a cryptic species complex and its link to paleontological stasis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Morphological stasis or the absence of morphological change is a well-known phenomenon in the paleontological record, yet it is poorly integrated with neontological evidence. Recent evidence suggests that cryptic species ... -
