Glostatina, a new xyloctonine subtribe for Glostatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), based on clear genetic and morphological differences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)An integrated taxonomic revision of the Afrotropical Glostatus Schedl, 1939 is presented, which is based on multiple genetic markers and morphological characters. Both types of data clearly distinguish Glostatus from other ... -
Multiple paths toward repeated phenotypic evolution in the spiny-leg adaptive radiation (Tetragnatha; Hawai'i)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The repeated evolution of phenotypes provides clear evidence for the role of natural selection in driving evolutionary change. However, the evolutionary origin of repeated phenotypes can be difficult to disentangle as it ... -
Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in Annelida—A Systematic Study on Conservative and Variable Gene Orders and the Factors Influencing its Evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The mitochondrial genomes of Bilateria are relatively conserved in their protein-coding, rRNA, and tRNA gene complement, but the order of these genes can range from very conserved to very variable depending on the taxon. ... -
Complex sublinear burrows in the deep sea may be constructed by amphipods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Trails, burrows, and other “life traces” in sediment provide important evidence for understanding ecology—both of the maker and of other users—and behavioral information often lacking in inaccessible ecosystems, such as ... -
Cryptic persistence and loss of local endemism in Lake Constance charr subject to anthropogenic disturbance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the welcome circumstance that species believed extinct are rediscovered, it is often the case that biological knowledge acquired before the presumed extinction is limited. Efforts to address these knowledge gaps, in ... -
A Pleistocene origin of the strandflat coastal platform in southwestern Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)An impressively extensive shore platform, the strandflat, is cut 20–50 km into hard crystalline bedrock along most of the Norwegian coastline. Its age and origin have been debated for more than a century, including a model ... -
The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global biodiversity. These genomes provide unique ... -
Relationships Between Soil Microbial Diversities Across an Aridity Gradient in Temperate Grasslands: Soil Microbial Diversity Relationships
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Soil microbes assemble in highly complex and diverse microbial communities, and microbial diversity patterns and their drivers have been studied extensively. However, diversity correlations and co-occurrence patterns between ... -
FINDSAMPO: A Linked Data Based Portal and Data Service for Analyzing and Disseminating Archaeological Object Finds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper presents the FINDSAMPO system for analyzing and disseminating archaeological object finds made by the public. The system is based on Linked Open Data (LOD), and consists of a web portal and an open data service. ... -
Preventing species extinctions: A global conservation consortium for Erica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Societal Impact Statement Human-caused habitat destruction and transformation is resulting in a cascade of impacts to biological diversity, of which arguably the most fundamental is species extinctions. The Global ... -
Revision of the Cretaceous shark Protoxynotus (Chondrichthyes, Squaliformes) and early evolution of somniosid sharks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Due to the peculiar combination of dental features characteristic for different squaliform families, the position of the Late Cretaceous genera Protoxynotus and Paraphorosoides within Squaliformes has long been controversial. ... -
Post-Tridentine Mass Attendance as Devotion to the Suffering Christ
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Continuing the long tradition of the allegorical interpretation of the Mass, the seventeenth- and eighteenth century ideal of proper mass attendance was devotion to the suffering Christ, inextricably linked to each step ... -
Inclusion of juvenile stages improves diversity assessment and adds to our understanding of mite ecology – A case study from mires in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Arachnid orders, Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, and Sarcoptiformes, commonly known as ‘mites’, are abundant in mires, both as adults and as juveniles. However, due to the challenges of identification, the juvenile forms are ... -
Habitat Protection Approaches Facilitate Conservation of Overlooked Fungal Diversity–A Case Study From the Norwegian Coastal Heathland System
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)European coastal heathlands are distinct ecosystems shaped by land use tradition and they have experienced an 80% area reduction from their historical maximum. These mosaics of mires and wind exposed patches have ericaceous ... -
Commons, Associations, And Possibilities of egalitarian life in Paris, France
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this article I ask, at what level does the egalitarian life of the French Republic manifest itself? In what social spaces do people get to enjoy its slogan, Liberté, égalité, fraternité? I take these questions to be ... -
An Introduction to Egalitarian Thought and Dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this introduction we approach egalitarianism as an upsetting force that in various ways has shaped much of modern, especially Western, human history. We outline philosophical trajectories from the Enlightenment onward; ... -
Gater, torg og heterotopier i byen. En kommentar til de siste års hendelser i Paris

Heterogeneity on the abyssal plains: A case study in the Bering Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The abyssal plains are vast areas without large scale relief that occupy much of the ocean floor. Although long considered relatively featureless, they are now known to display substantial biological heterogeneity across ... -
Diet of three sympatric species of granivorous songbirds in a Norwegian high mountain area during the early breeding season
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Stomach samples of Lapland Longspur Calcarius lapponicus, Snow Bunting Plectrophenax nivalis, and Horned Lark Eremophila alpestris were collected at Hardangervidda in an early phase of the breeding season (during egg-laying ... -
