(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)The spectacular discovery of the new insect order Mantophasmatodea in 2002 was immediately followed by detailed studies on morphology and scattered information on different aspects of its behavior and general biology. A ... -
Biodiversity, environmental drivers, and sustainability of the global deep-sea sponge microbiome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In the deep ocean symbioses between microbes and invertebrates are emerging as key drivers of ecosystem health and services. We present a large-scale analysis of microbial diversity in deep-sea sponges (Porifera) from ... -
Bioeconomic consequences of fishing-induced evolution: a model predicts limited impact on net present value
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Fishing reduces stock size and shifts demographics, and selective mortality may also lead to evolutionary changes. Previous studies suggest that traits may change evolutionarily because of fishing on decadal time scales. ... -
Bioenergetics modelling of growth processes in parasitized Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Changes in physiological processes can reveal how individuals respond to environmental stressors. It can be difficult to link physiological responses to changes in vital rates such as growth, reproduction and survival. ... -
Bioethical Implications of Globalization: An International Consortium Project of the European Commission
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-01-24)The term “globalization” was popularized by Marshall McLuhan in War and Peace in the Global Village. In the book, McLuhan described how the global media shaped current events surrounding the Vietnam War [1] and also predicted ... -
Biofilm and dental biomaterials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-26)All treatment involving the use of biomaterials in the body can affect the host in positive or negative ways. The microbiological environment in the oral cavity is affected by the composition and shape of the biomaterials ... -
Biofilm and planktonic lifestyles of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum. Proteomic analysis of bacteria grown as planktonic cells, mono- and dual species biofilm, and characterization of the biofilm extracellular polymeric matrix’
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-04-06)Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases affecting humans. Periodontitis leads to the destruction of the dental support tissues, which in the terminal stage causes loss of teeth. Periodontitis is ... -
Biofuel and food security: insights from a system dynamics model. The case of Ghana
