A review of reproduction in the seaweed genus Fucus (Ochrophyta, Fucales): Background for renewed consideration as a model organism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The genus Fucus dominates the intertidal and shallow subtidal rocky reefs of the North Atlantic and also is commonly found in the intertidal of the North Pacific. It likely diversified 12.2-2.7 mya into two genetically ... -
Review of the Tanzanian prawn Fishery
(Master thesis, 2011-05-30)A review of the prawn fishery of Tanzania from its development in early 1980's to closure in 2008 has been performed based on three major data sets; industrial prawn and fish catch data from Fisheries Division, river ... -
A review of the use of microplastics in reconstructing dated sedimentary archives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Buried microplastics (plastics, <5 mm) have been documented within the sediment column of both marine and lacustrine environments. However, the number of peer-review studies published on the subject remains limited and ... -
Revision of the genus Exsuperantia Özdikmen, 2009 (Tetractinellida: Phymaraphiniidae) with description of a new species from the Atlantic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Phymaraphiniidae Schrammen 1924 (Porifera: Astrophorina) is a family of lithistid demosponges that has received little attention in the past decades. The systematic problems within this family have not been addressed for ... -
Rhythmic Clock Gene Expression in Atlantic Salmon Parr Brain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To better understand the complexity of clock genes in salmonids, a taxon with an additional whole genome duplication, an analysis was performed to identify and classify gene family members (clock, arntl, period, cryptochrome, ... -
The rise and fall of forests

RNA interference mediated knockdown of the KDEL receptor and COPB2 inhibits digestion and reproduction in the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04)Retrograde transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi is an essential part of the secretory pathway that all newly synthesised secreted and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells undergo. The aim of ... -
RNAi mediated myosuppressin deficiency affects muscle development and survival in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)Muscle activity is regulated by stimulatory and inhibitory neuropeptides allowing for contraction and relaxation. In Arthropods, one of the important myoinhibitors is Myosuppressin, belonging to FMRFamide-like peptides, ... -
RNAi-mediated treatment of two vertically transmitted rhabdovirus infecting the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-25)Rhabdoviruses are a family of enveloped negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infecting a variety of hosts. Recently, two vertically transmitted salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) rhabdoviruses (LsRV) have been ... -
Rock sponges (lithistid Demospongiae) of the Northeast Atlantic seamounts, with description of ten new species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Lithistid demosponges, also known as rock sponges, are a polyphyletic group of sponges which are widely distributed. In the Northeast Atlantic (NEA), 17 species are known and the current knowledge on their ... -
A Role for Weak Electrostatic Interactions in Peripheral Membrane Protein Binding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (BtPI-PLC) is a secreted virulence factor that binds specifically to phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers containing negatively charged phospholipids. ... -
The role of acetylation of histone H3 lysine 27 in enhancer function
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-09)The histone modification H3K27ac is a hallmark of active enhancers. However, its role in enhance-specific activity remains obscure. We applied mass spectrometry-based quantitative interaction proteomics to determine proteins ... -
The role of dietary methionine concentrations on growth, metabolism and N-retention in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) at elevated water temperatures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04)This study determined impacts of dietary methionine concentrations at two temperatures on growth, feeding efficiency and N‐metabolites in juvenile cobia. Methionine concentrations of the experimental diets were deficient ... -
Role of EPAC in cAMP-mediated actions in adrenocortical cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-13)Adrenocorticotropic hormone regulates adrenal steroidogenesis mainly via the intracellular signaling molecule cAMP. The effects of cAMP are principally relayed by activating protein kinase A (PKA) and the more recently ... -
The role of intraspecific variability in driving community trait shifts along temperature and precipitation gradients in alpine and boreal semi-natural grasslands
(Master thesis, 2017-12-15)Climate projections show that western Norway will experience warmer and wetter conditions in the future. Investigations of trait changes with these climatic gradients can be used to understand the responses of species, ... -
The role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-20)The traditional view of the planktonic food web describes consumption of inorganic nutrients by photoautotrophic phytoplankton, which in turn supports zooplankton and ultimately higher trophic levels. Pathways centred on ... -
Role of noncovalent interactions in protein peripheral membrane binding. Computational perspectives
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-02-19)Noncovalent forces are important driving forces in nature particularly in biology, and they dictate many biological processes including the binding of peripheral protein to the cell membrane. The widely acknowledged models ... -
Role of PIP binding motifs on the nucleolar localization and function of ErbB3 binding protein 1
(Master thesis, 2020-07-01)Sub-cellular localization is key to the specific function of proteins. Proteins can be recruited to different cell compartments via their interaction with the signaling lipids, polyphosphoinositides (PPIn). While their ... -
The role of plant functional groups mediating climate impacts on carbon and biodiversity of alpine grasslands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Plant removal experiments allow assessment of the role of biotic interactions among species or functional groups in community assembly and ecosystem functioning. When replicated along climate gradients, they can assess ...
