Codium fragile in Norway: subspecies identity and morphology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The green alga Codium fragile consists of 10 subspecies, of which subspecies fragile is a well-known invasive seaweed. Morphological work carried out in the 1950s suggested that there were three subspecies along the Norwegian ... -
Codium fragile subsp. fragile and Sargassum muticum: Non-native seaweeds in a changing environment
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-17)Non-native species have received increasing scientific and public attention over the last three decades, and have been identified as a threat to biodiversity. However, coastal environments may also be affected by several ... -
Coevolution between king crabs (Paguridae: Lithodinae) and parasitic barnacles (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-01-27)Molecular evidence has established that king crabs (Lithodinae) are gigantic hermit crabs without a gastropod shell to protect their abdomen. Secondarily, the abdomen has become calcified and flexed, in a crab-like manner. ... -

A cohesin-independent role for NIPBL at promoters provides insights in CdLS
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-13)The cohesin complex is crucial for chromosome segregation during mitosis and has recently also been implicated in transcriptional regulation and chromatin architecture. The NIPBL protein is required for the loading of ... -
Collective behaviour of herring during spawning
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-02-02)The thesis focuses on the collective behaviour of Norwegian spring spawning herring (NSS-herring; Clupea harengus L.) in the specific ecological context of reproduction. The major part of the work is based on field research ... -
A combination of genetic and phenotypic characterization of spring- and autumn-spawning herring suggests gene flow between populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) has complex population structure and dynamics including diverse life histories and spawning times with spring and autumn spawning as the most common modes. Originally, spawning herring ... -
Combined effects of a simulated marine heatwave and an algal toxin on a tropical marine aquaculture fish cobia (Rachycentron canadum)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ongoing global warming is one of the major challenges for the development of aquaculture in the tropical regions where species are already cultured in the water temperature close to their upper physiological thresholds. ... -
Combining biochemical methods to trace organic effluent from fish farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The substitution of fish oils and fish meal with terrestrial components in the diets of farmed fin-fish offers a unique opportunity to trace organic effluents from fin-fish aquaculture into the marine environment. In this ... -
The comeback of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) to Norwegian waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We document that Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) began making a comeback from 2012 onwards into Norwegian waters, after several decades of absence, in parallel with an overall increased abundance recorded for eastern BFT. This ... -
Comment on "Dying in the Sun: Direct evidence for elevated UV-B radiation at the end-Permian mass extinction"
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Liu et al. present evidence of increased abundance of UV-B–absorbing compounds in fossilized sporomorphs at the end-Permian mass extinction based on Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Their approach assumes ... -
Common trends in recruitment dynamics of north-east Atlantic fish stocks and their links to environment, ecology and management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-13)Recruitment dynamics are challenging to assess or predict because of the many underlying drivers that vary in their relevance over time and space. Stock size, demographic and trait composition, condition and distribution ... -
A common-garden experiment to quantify evolutionary processes in copepods: the case of emamectin benzoate resistance in the parasitic sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-19)Background: The development of pesticide resistance represents a global challenge to food production. Specifically for the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, parasitic sea lice and their developing resistance to delousing ... -
Community Composition and Habitat Characterization of a Rock Sponge Aggregation (Porifera, Corallistidae) in the Cantabrian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Deep-sea sponge-dominated communities are complex habitats considered hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. They are classified as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem and are listed as threatened or declining as a ... -
Comparative analysis of acoel embryonic development
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-10-02)Acoels are bilaterally symmetric aquatic worms, that lack a through gut and have a single body opening to their digestive syncytium. Although they were initially placed within spiralians, because of their morphological ... -
Comparative biology and population mixing among local, coastal and offshore Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the North Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat and western Baltic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-30)The population structure of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) from 13 local, coastal and offshore areas of the North Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat and western Baltic (northeast Atlantic) was studied using biological and ... -
Comparative development of spiralian larvae
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-03-04)Bryozoans and brachiopods are sessile, mostly marine animals, that use an elegant crown of tentacles for filter-feeding. They are related to molluscs, segmented worms and other animals in a outstandingly diverse group of ... -
Comparative feeding ecology of roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris) in Norwegian fjords
(Master thesis, 2017-06-16)In the ocean, energy is transferred from the productive primary producers at the surface, down to the demersal fish fauna at the sea floor. When moving away from the surface layer, there is a decline in food availability, ... -
Comparative neuroanatomy suggests repeated reduction of neuroarchitectural complexity in Annelida
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-04)Background Paired mushroom bodies, an unpaired central complex, and bilaterally arranged clusters of olfactory glomeruli are among the most distinctive components of arthropod neuroarchitecture. Mushroom body neuropils, ... -
