Safety assessment of the functional feed additive phenylcapsaicin in a commercial broiler diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Intestinal colonisation of Salmonella is a major concern in the poultry industry, and a low dose of the high-purity synthetic capsaicin analogue phenylcapsaicin (PheCap) has the potential to be a phytobiotic ... -
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 ... -
Interdependence between Perceived Cooperative Learning, Sense of Belonging, and Generic Skills in Undergraduate STEM Education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The development of sense of belonging and generic skills may be considered important to succeed in higher education and in life and may be enhanced through student group work. For group work to succeed, Social Interdependence ... -
SAF-A/hnRNP U binds polyphosphoinositides via a lysine rich polybasic motif located in the SAP domain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Polyphosphoinositides (PPIn) play essential functions as lipid signalling molecules and many of their functions have been elucidated in the cytoplasm. However, PPIn are also intranuclear where they contribute to chromatin ... -
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, ... -
PCB-126 spiked to polyethylene microplastic ingested by juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) accumulates in liver and muscle tissues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the present study, polyethylene (PE) microplastics (150–300 μm) were added to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) feeds at 1 %, either in their present form (Virgin PE) or spiked with PCB-126 (Spiked PE). The feeds were given ... -
Improving size selection in the Norwegian red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) fishery through modification to pot design and soak time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) represent a valuable inshore fisheries resource for communities in northern Norway. The fishery is regulated east of the 26th meridian by vessel quotas and a minimum landing size ... -
Integrating human dimensions in decadal-scale prediction for marine social–ecological systems: lighting the grey zone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The dynamics of marine systems at decadal scales are notoriously hard to predict—hence references to this timescale as the “grey zone” for ocean prediction. Nevertheless, decadal-scale prediction is a rapidly developing ... -
Within-patient and global evolutionary dynamics of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST17
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 17 is a global problem clone that causes multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital infections worldwide. In 2008–2009, an outbreak of MDR ST17 occurred at a neonatal intensive care unit ... -
Net cleaning impacts Atlantic salmon gill health through microbiome dysbiosis
(Journal article, 2023)Net biofouling has a significant impact for the global salmon industry in the seawater grow-out stage in terms of its management. Current mitigation strategies occur primarily through the regular removal of biofouling using ... -
Pest science in Pasteur’s Quadrant
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)More than 25 years ago, Donald Stokes argued that we must move beyond the false dichotomy of basic or applied research and suggested that when considering a program of scientific research it is important to ask whether (i) ... -
Interspecific differences in root foraging precision cannot be directly inferred from species' mycorrhizal status or fine root economics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Nutrient acquisition in plants can be represented by a suite of intercorrelated root traits such as root diameter, nitrogen content, root tissue density and specific root length. However, it is unclear how a plant's ability ... -
Assessing the relation between geodiversity and species richness in mountain heaths and tundra landscapes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Context Recent studies show that geodiversity—the diversity of Earth's landforms, materials, and processes—has a positive relationship with biodiversity at a landscape scale. However, there is a substantial lack of evidence ... -
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 ... -
The summer bacterial and archaeal community composition of the northern Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Climate change related alterations in the Arctic have influences on the marine ecosystems, in particular on phytoplankton bloom dynamics. Since phytoplankton blooms are the main provider of carbon sources to the microbial ... -
Snowmelt contribution to Arctic first-year ice ridge mass balance and rapid consolidation during summer melt
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sea ice ridges are one of the most under-sampled and poorly understood components of the Arctic sea ice system. Yet, ridges play a crucial role in the sea ice mass balance and have been identified as ecological hotspots ... -
A guide to the processing and standardization of global palaeoecological data for large-scale syntheses using fossil pollen
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim: Palaeoecological data are crucial for comprehending large-scale biodiversity patterns and the natural and anthropogenic drivers that influence them over time. Over the last decade, the availability of open-access ... -
Traits help explain species' performance away from their climate niche centre
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim: Climate change impacts on biota are variable across sites, among species and throughout individual species' ranges. Niche theory predicts that population performance should decline as site climate becomes increasingly ... -
Mitigation of oxygen decline in fjords by freshwater injection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The exchange of water masses between deep fjords and the open ocean is commonly constrained by a topographical barrier called the sill. While fjord water above the sill depth communicates relatively freely with the open ... -
Earlier sea-ice melt extends the oligotrophic summer period in the Barents Sea with low algal biomass and associated low vertical flux
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The decrease in Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness as a result of global warming will impact the timing, duration, magnitude and composition of phytoplankton production with cascading effects on Arctic marine food-webs ...
