Conservation and divergence of chemical defense system in the tunicate Oikopleura dioica revealed by genome wide response to two xenobiotics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02-02)Background Animals have developed extensive mechanisms of response to xenobiotic chemical attacks. Although recent genome surveys have suggested a broad conservation of the chemical defensome across metazoans, global gene ... -
Consistent trait-environment relationships within and across tundra plant communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A fundamental assumption in trait-based ecology is that relationships between traits and environmental conditions are globally consistent. We use field-quantified microclimate and soil data to explore if trait–environment ... -
Constant High Temperature Promotes Early Changes in Testis Development Associated with Sexual Maturation in Male Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Post-Smolts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sexual maturation of post-smolts is a concern for Atlantic salmon producers, and its occurrence is dependent upon factors such as water temperature and energy availability, among others. The present study was designed to ... -
Consumption of sea lice by lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): qPCR quantification and use of a non-destructive sampling method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the present study, it was attempted to quantify sea lice grazing in lumpfish by using a recently published qPCR assay. This method utilizes a small aliquot (10 μL) of the stomach fluid of the lumpfish which can be ... -
Contaminant accumulation and biological responses in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caged at a capped waste disposal site in Kollevåg, Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of this study was to assess whether fish in Kollevåg, a sheltered bay on the western coast of Norway, previously utilized as a waste disposal site, could be affected by environmental contaminants leaking from the ... -
Contemporary evolution caused by fisheries: Contributions from experimental studies
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-11-06)Evolutionary change is occurring within tens of generations or fewer in nature. This contemporary evolution is commonly caused by human activities, as they alter the selective pressures that the populations experience. ... -
Contrasting plant–soil–microbial feedbacks stabilize vegetation types and uncouple topsoil C and N stocks across a subarctic–alpine landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Global vegetation regimes vary in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. However, disentangling large-scale climatic controls from the effects of intrinsic plant–soil–microbial feedbacks on belowground processes ... -
Contrasting response to nutrient manipulation in Arctic mesocosms are reproduced by a minimum microbial food web model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-27)A minimum mathematical model of the marine pelagic microbial food web has previously shown to be able to reproduce central aspects of observed system response to different bottom-up manipulations in a mesocosm experiment ... -
Contrasting the phospholipid profiles of two neoplastic cell lines reveal a high PC:PE ratio for SH-SY5Y cells relative to A431 cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Lipids have been implicated in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We therefore studied the lipid profile of the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, which is used extensively in PD research and compared it to that of the A431 epithelial ... -
Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ... -
Contribution of homeobox genes to the development of the oikoplastic epithelium, a major novelty of tunicate Larvaceans
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-23)The development of complex organisms is controlled by numerous genes, including developmentally regulated transcription factors (TF) encoded by multiple gene families. A well diversified group of TFs is the superclass of ... -
Control region sequences indicate that multiple externae represent multiple infections by Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-29)The rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina carcini, is a common parasite of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in which it causes significant detrimental physical and behavioral modifications. In the vast majority of ... -
Cooperation between subcellular NAD pools in the maintenance of NAD-dependent processes
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-10-31)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is needed as a cofactor in several processes throughout the cell, and its availability is decisive for the activity of many NAD-dependent enzymes. Owing to the membrane barriers in ... -
Cooperation between the bromodomain and PHD finger of p300 in nucleosome interaction. A study of the contribution of the PHD finger
(Master thesis, 2003-08)The different cells in an organism need to know which genes to be active and which to be inactive. A central mechanism that contributes to regulate gene expression is the organisation of DNA into dense and less dense forms. ... -
Cooperative learning goes online: teaching and learning intervention in a digital environment impacts psychosocial outcomes in biology students
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Identifying evidence-based teaching and learning strategies that can ease teacher challenges and mitigate student concerns in digital settings becomes increasingly important. In this intervention study we compared the ... -
Cooperative Learning in Undergraduate STEM Education: Applications and Outcomes
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-03-14)Tiltak for å styrke opplevde psykososiale faktorer slik som tilhørighet, generiske ferdigheter og vitenskapelig selvtillit samt tiltak for å redusere ensomhet hos studenter anses som viktig av flere grunner. I møtet med ... -
Copepods enhance nutritional status, growth and development in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae – can we identify the underlying factors?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-19)The current commercial production protocols for Atlantic cod depend on enriched rotifers and Artemia during first-feeding, but development and growth remain inferior to fish fed natural zooplankton. Two experiments were ... -
