The phylogeny of pholcid spiders: a critical evaluation of relationships suggested by molecular data (Araneae, Pholcidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-10)With almost 600 species, the latest molecular phylogeny of pholcid spiders (Eberle et al. 2018, BMC Evolutionary Biology) more than triples the largest previously available molecular phylogeny of the family. At the level ... -
Phylogeny of the orb-weaving spider family Araneidae(Araneae: Araneoidea)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a new phylogeny of the spider family Araneidae based on five genes (28S, 18S, COI, H3 and 16S) for 158 taxa, identified and mainly sequenced by us. This includes 25 outgroups and 133 araneid ingroups representing ... -
Phylogeny, Taxonomy and Evolution of the Astrophorida (Porifera, Demospongiae)
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-06-04)The Astrophorida (Porifera, Demospongiae) currently represent ca 660 extant species worldwide. In tropical and parts of warm temperate waters they are common at quite shallow depths, while in boreal/antiboreal and Arctic ... -
Phylogeographic history of mitochondrial haplogroup J in Scandinavia
(Journal article, 2023)Background: Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup J is the third most frequent haplogroup in modern-day Scandinavia, although it did not originate there. To infer the genetic history of haplogroup J in Scandinavia, we examined ... -
Phylogeographic structure of two sympatric species of Mediimorda Méquignon, 1946 (Mordellidae, Coleoptera)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sympatric distribution and syntopy are not common in closely related species since sporadic crosses may lead to the formation of hybrid zones disrupting the differentiation of sympatric incipient species. In Central Spain ... -
Phylogeography and host specificity of Pasteurellaceae pathogenic to sea-farmed fish in the north-east Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The present study was undertaken to address the recent spate of pasteurellosis outbreaks among sea-farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norway and Scotland, coinciding with sporadic disease episodes in lumpfish (Cyclopterus ... -
Phylogeography of Phycodrys rubens (Linnaeus) batters from mainland Norway and Svalbard based on nuclear and mtDNA sequences and microsatellites
(Master thesis, 2014-04-01)Phycodrys rubens is a common cold temperate red macroalga in the North Atlantic, a region with a diverse natural history that has shaped the phylogeography for many species. In this study microsatellite loci as well as ... -
Phylogeography of Ramalina farinacea (Lichenized Fungi, Ascomycota) in the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, and Macaronesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Ramalina farinacea is an epiphytic lichen-forming fungus with a broad geographic distribution, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. In the eighties of the last century, it was hypothesized that R. farinacea had originated ... -
Physical activity and exercise capacity in survivors of preterm birth : A population-based cohort study of long-term consequences of prematurity
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-05-19)Background: Physical activity (PA) is an important mediator of health. Extremely preterm (EP) (<28 weeks’ gestation) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) (<1000 g) subjects are at increased risk of long-term sequelae that ... -
Physical activity and life satisfaction in adolescence: The mediating role of initiative
(Master thesis, 2008-05-28)Background: The ability to take initiative is considered an important developmental task in adolescence. Organised leisure time activities have been suggested as especially conducive contexts for initiative development. ... -
Physical activity and lung function—Cause or consequence?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Concerns exist that the positive association of physical activity with better lung function, which has been suggested in previous longitudinal studies in smokers, is due to reverse causation. To investigate this, we applied ... -
Physical activity and patient-reported outcomes during a two-year lifestyle intervention for severely obese adults. The Haugland Obesity Study
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-04-15)Severe obesity is a chronic condition, which is associated with impaired quality of life and health hazards. The direct cause of obesity is an imbalance in energy intake and expenditure over time, but the underlying ... -
Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Severely Obese Adults during a Two-Year Lifestyle Intervention Programme
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)It is unknown how changes in physical activity may affect changes in quality of life (QoL) outcomes during lifestyle interventions for severely obese adults. The purpose of this study was to examine associations in the ... -
Physical activity and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with stable angina pectoris: Effect modification by β-blocker treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Physical activity (PA) influences sympathetic stimulation, platelet activation as well as vascular function, and has been associated with improved health outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease. β-blocker ... -
Physical Activity Attenuates the Influence of FTO Variants on Obesity Risk: A Meta-Analysis of 218,166 Adults and 19,268 Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-01)Background: The FTO gene harbors the strongest known susceptibility locus for obesity. While many individual studies have suggested that physical activity (PA) may attenuate the effect of FTO on obesity risk, other studies ... -
Physical activity in pregnancy: a Norwegian-Swedish mother-child birth cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)BACKGROUND Physical activity during pregnancy is important for maternal and offspring health. Optimal conditions during pregnancy may help reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases. National and international guidelines ... -
Physical activity intensity profiles associated with cardiometabolic risk in middle-aged to older men and women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Accelerometers provide detailed data about physical activity (PA) across the full intensity spectrum. However, when examining associations with health, results are often aggregated to only a few summary measures [e.g. time ... -
Physical activity is associated with a low prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the Royal Norwegian Navy: a cross sectional study
