New observations of the enigmatic West African Cellana limpet (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nacellidae)
(BioMed Central, 2016-07-25)Background: Identification of limpets is often hampered by highly variable within-species shell morphologies and colour patterns. Since pre-Linnean times this has produced complex taxonomies with confusing nomenclatorial ...Journal article -
A new phylogeny of the Cephalaspidea (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) based on expanded taxon sampling and gene markers
(Elsevier, 2015-08)The Cephalaspidea is a diverse marine clade of euthyneuran gastropods with many groups still known largely from shells or scant anatomical data. The definition of the group and the relationships between members has been ...Journal article -
New species of Ampharetidae (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Arctic Loki Castle vent field
(Elsevier, 2016-03)Ampharetid polychaetes adapted to live in chemosynthetic environments are well known from the deep Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but to date no such species have been reported from the Arctic Ocean. Here, we describe two ...Journal article -
Original specimens and type localities of early described polychaete species (Annelida) from Norway, with particular attention to species described by O.F. Müller and M. Sars
(Museum Victoria, 2014)Early descriptions of species from Norwegian waters are reviewed, with a focus on the basic requirements for reassessing their characteristics, in particular, by clarifying the status of the original material and locating ...Journal article -
Paleomagnetic correlations between scandinavian ice-sheet fluctuations and greenland dansgaard–oeschger events, 45,000–25,000 yr B.P.
(Elsevier, 2003)Two paleomagnetic excursions, the Skjong correlated with the Laschamp (about 41,000 GISP2 yr B.P.) and the Valderhaug correlated with the Mono Lake (about 34,000 GISP2 yr B.P.), have been identified in stratigraphic ...Journal articlePeer reviewed -
Patterns of diversification amongst tropical regions compared: a case study in Sapotaceae
(Frontiers, 2014-12-03)Species diversity is unequally distributed across the globe, with the greatest concentration occurring in the tropics. Even within the tropics, there are significant differences in the numbers of taxa found in each continental ...Journal article -
Polychaetes from Jan Mayen (Annelida, Polychaeta)
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)A thorough literature review has been undertaken to establish the first complete account of polychaetes recorded from the area around the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The annotated checklist lists 121 species-level taxa, ...Journal article -
A preboreal elk (Alces alces L., 1758) antler from south-eastern Norway
(Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU University Museum, 2010)In 1895 a shed elk antler was found in a mire on a farm near Fluberg, in Søndre Land municipality in south-eastern Norway.
