Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov., a Novel Feather-Degrading Anaerobic Thermophile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov. strain T was isolated from a terrestrial, high-altitude hot spring in Tajikistan. This strain is an obligate anaerobic rod and their cells occur singly, in ... -
FGF signaling acts on different levels of mesoderm development within Spiralia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)FGF signaling is involved in mesoderm induction in members of deuterostomes (e.g. tunicates, hemichordates), but not in flies and nematodes, in which it has a role in mesoderm patterning and migration. However, we need ... -
Field studies on the abundance, growth and biofouling of the harvestable red alga Vertebrata lanosa (Linnaeus) T.A.Christensen
(Master thesis, 2018-08-10)Macroalgae have an important ecological role as primary producers and habitat engineers for fauna in coastal areas, and many species can also be used for human consumption. Like vegetables, macroalgae contain essential ... -
Fifteen emerging challenges and opportunities for vegetation science: a horizon scan by early-career researchers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)With the aim to identify future challenges and opportunities in vegetation science, we brought together a group of 22 early career vegetation scientists from diverse backgrounds to perform a horizon scan. In this contribution, ... -
Finding a Needle in the Virus Metagenome Haystack - Micro-Metagenome Analysis Captures a Snapshot of the Diversity of a Bacteriophage Armoire
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-11)Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans and critical components of marine microbial communities, regulating nutrient transfer to higher trophic levels or to the dissolved organic pool through lysis of host cells. Hydrothermal ... -
Finding the Balance between Research and Monitoring: When Are Methods Good Enough to Understand Plastic Pollution?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Plastic pollution is an international environmental problem. Desire to act is shared from the public to policymakers, yet motivation and approaches are diverging. Public attention is directed to reducing plastic consumption, ... -
Finding the way to food - Patch quality evaluation performed by young of the year freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera)
(Master thesis, 2014-03-11)The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera is considered a key species in aquatic environments. The juvenile stage is considered to be the most volnarable stage for the young mussels due to pollution challenges ... -
Fine-grain beta diversity of Palaearctic grassland vegetation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Questions: Which environmental factors influence fine-grain beta diversity of vegetation and do they vary among taxonomic groups? Location: Palaearctic biogeographic realm. Methods: We extracted 4,654 nested-plot ... -
Fine-scale characteristics of the boundaries between annual patches and perennial patches in a meadow steppe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Context: Boundaries may have crucial influences on landscape patterns, processes, and dynamics. However, there is little understanding of mechanisms that govern changes in the location and composition of boundaries. At ... -
Fine-scale spatial variation of northern shrimp and Atlantic cod across three Norwegian fjord systems and implications for management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The spatial complexity of coastal ecosystems represents a challenge for the management of inshore resources. Here we compared two large fjord systems in northern Norway that have been closed for all bottom trawling for 50 ... -
First 3D reconstruction of the rhizocephalan root system using MicroCT
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Parasitic barnacles (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) are highly specialized parasites of crustaceans. Instead of an alimentary tract for feeding they utilize a system of roots, which infiltrates the body of their hosts to absorb ... -
The First Cut Is the Deepest: Trawl Effects on a Deep-Sea Sponge Ground Are Pronounced Four Years on
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Few studies have described the effects of physical disturbance and post-recovery of deep-sea benthic communities. Here, we explore the status of deep-sea sponge ground communities four years after being impacted by an ... -
First estimates of metabolic rate in Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic bluefin tuna is an iconic scombrid species with a high commercial and ecological value. Despite their importance, many physiological aspects, especially during the larval stages, are still unknown. Metabolic rates ... -
A first examination of its biology, ecology and fisheries: What is the role of European Hake (Merluccius merluccius) in the waters of the northern North Sea and along the Norwegian coast?
(Master thesis, 2015-05-29)Based on the results from the annual stock assessment of the European hake (Merluccius merluccius) by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, a fourfold increase of the spawning stock biomass can be ... -
First identification of mycobacteriosis in Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Mycobacterium infection in fish is a well-known disease problem globally, mainly in the farming of ornamental fish or fish for food. Less is known about the prevalence, distribution and the effects such infections have on ... -
