Cleaner Fish Do Not Impact the Pigmentation of Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Commercial Aquaculture Cages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-10)Salmon lice are one of the biggest challenges to sustainable salmonid aquaculture. The species display high evolutionary potential, which is evident by its development of resistance to numerous chemical compounds used for ... -
Cleaner fish growth, welfare and survival in Atlantic salmon sea cages during an autumn-winter production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cleaner fish used as a biological control agent against salmon lice is rapidly increasing in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. However, concerns have been raised about the welfare and mortality of cleaner fish in salmon cage ... -
Climate and biotic interactions – drivers of plant community structure and ecosystem functioning in alpine grasslands
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-10-21)The governing of biodiversity by climate is profound. Climate as reflected through the major global temperature and precipitation axes determines the distribution of species according to their climatic tolerance, or niche. ... -
Climate change and the effect of darker coastal water on NCW euphotic zone properties - A theoretical study
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)The Norwegian Coastal Water (NCW) derives from an extensive outflow of freshwater from the Baltic Sea and river runoff from the Norwegian coast, making the water less saline than the North Atlantic Water (NAW). Freshwater ... -
Climate change in fish: effects of respiratory constraints on optimal life history and behaviour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The difference between maximum metabolic rate and standard metabolic rate is referred to as aerobic scope, and because it constrains performance it is suggested to constitute a key limiting process prescribing how fish may ... -
Climate change winner in the deep sea? Predicting the impacts of climate change on the distribution of the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesii
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Shallow-water sponges are often cited as being ‘climate change winners’ due to their resiliency against climate change effects compared to other benthic taxa. However, little is known of the impacts of climate change on ... -
A climate for seed predation: Precipitation affects seed removal by the major groups of granivores differently across boreal, sub-alpine and alpine grasslands
(Master thesis, 2018-12-15)Granivory, the seed predation by animals, plays an important role for plant and animal populations, and impact species composition and functioning of ecosystems. The intensity in granivory depends on various biotic and ... -
Climate History of the Arctic: temperature reconstruction of an arctic lake on Spitsbergen based on chironomid
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)ABSTRACT. The increase in global climatic changes seen in recent years is debated to be a result from expanding anthropogenic activity. The aim for the study is to contribute to the climatic history at western Spitsbergen ... -
Climate warming causes life-history evolution in a model for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Climate change influences the marine environment, with ocean warming being the foremost driving factor governing changes in the physiology and ecology of fish. At the individual level, increasing temperature influences ... -
Climate-driven differences in growth performance of cohabitant fir and birch in a subalpine forest in Dhorpatan Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Himalayan Silver Fir (Abies spectabilis) and Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis) are tree species often found coexisting in sub-alpine forests of the Nepal Himalayas. To assess species-specific growth performances of these ... -
Climate-Driven Plant Response and Resilience on the Tibetan Plateau in Space and Time: A Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Climate change variation on a small scale may alter the underlying processes determining a pattern operating at large scale and vice versa. Plant response to climate change on individual plant levels on a fine scale tends ... -
Climate-Induced Evolution of the Behaviour and Life-History Strategies of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua). A Modelling Approach
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-08-21)Climate change influences the marine environment, with ocean warming being the foremost driving factor governing changes in the physiology and ecology of fish. At the individual level temperature can directly influence ... -
Climate–ecosystem modelling made easy: The Land Sites Platform
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) provide a state-of-the-art process-based approach to study the complex interplay between vegetation and its physical environment. For example, they help to predict how terrestrial ... -
Climatic and biogeographical drivers of functional diversity in the flora of the Canary Islands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aim Functional traits can help us to elucidate biogeographical and ecological processes driving assemblage structure. We analysed the functional diversity of plant species of different evolutionary origins across an island ... -
Climatic and environmental factors influencing occurrence and distribution of macroalgae – a fjord gradient revisited
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)During the last decades, trends of increasing sea water temperatures and precipitation have been observed in the North Atlantic. Increasing sea water temperatures are expected to have strong effects on coastal benthic ... -
Cloned and outbred Atlantic salmon display equal parasite dispersion when infected with the salmon louse
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod that infects salmonids in the marine environment. This parasite causes a major economic and biological challenge to the Atlantic salmon farming industry, and efforts to increase ... -
Cloning, expression and purification of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, L.) neuroglobin
(Journal article, 2012)Neuroglobin (Ngb) exists only in small amounts in salmon brain. In order to study the protein in more detail salmon neuroglobin (sNgb) was cloned, hetereologously expressed in E.coli and purified. The protein had red color ... -
Cloning, tissue and ontogenetic expression of the taurine transporter in the flatfish Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04)Flatfish species seem to require dietary taurine for normal growth and development. Although dietary taurine supplementation has been recommended for flatfish, little is known about the mechanisms of taurine absorption in ... -
Close to open—Factors that hinder and promote open science in ecology research and education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-21)The Open Science (OS) movement is rapidly gaining traction among policy-makers, research funders, scientific journals and individual scientists. Despite these tendencies, the pace of implementing OS throughout the scientific ... -
A closer look into the microbiome of microalgal cultures
