The abundance and diversity of woodland snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) were investigated in a large-scale study in Geitaknottane Nature Reserve in Kvam County (Norway). Snails were collected in 132 squares (50 X 50 meters) ...

Knowledge of the seasonal dynamics within the Arctic marine microbial network is scarce, particularly during the polar night period. The abundances of different microbial groups in Adventfjorden, Svalbard were investigated ...

All animals face the challenge of acquiring resources for growth, survival, and reproduction. In environments that vary in time and space, foragers need to make apparently complex foraging decisions on which prey to ...

Studies of abundance and distribution of zooplankton with acoustic instruments is new methodology in Thailand. In order to evaluate if the zooplankton could be detected and measured, a specific area around a seamount in ...

Harvest control rules (HCR) are sets of well-defined rules that can be used for determining annual fish catch quotas or effort. If a management policy can be expressed as a HCR, then the HCR provides means to determine the ...

Distinct freshwater and seawater chloride cells have been identified in salmon gills and recent studies also suggest that there are specific freshwater (α1a) and seawater (α1b) isoforms of the α subunit ...

Out of all of the microorganisms sequenced so far about one third of the genes have unknown function. Several studies have shown that information on evolutionary relationships between unknown genes can aid in the prediction ...

This thesis focuses on the behavioural dynamics of mesopelagic fish in a fjordic environment. Acoustic data recorded with a stationary echosounder was used to primarily investigate the diel vertical migration behaviour ...

Background: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a conservative estimate on rates of sea-level rise of 3.8 mm yr21 at the end of the 21st century, which may have a detrimental effect on ecologically ...
