Consistent accumulation of transposable elements in species of the Hawaiian Tetragnatha spiny-leg adaptive radiation across the archipelago chronosequence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The ecological and phenotypic diversity observed in oceanic island radiations presents an evolutionary paradox: a high level of genetic variation is typically required for diversification, but species colonizing a new ... -
Spatial pattern and ecological adaptation of heterostylous and homostylous species of Primula in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Floral syndrome is one of the key components of plant pollination syndromes, affecting variety of evolutionary and ecological processes in angiosperms. The evolutionary transition from self-incompatible heterostyly to ... -
Tracing 600 years of long-distance Atlantic cod trade in medieval and post-medieval Oslo using stable isotopes and ancient DNA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine resources have been important for the survival and economic development of coastal human communities across northern Europe for millennia. Knowledge of the origin of such historic resources can provide key insights ... -
From foraging to specialized workshop and mining activities during 10,000 years of sea-level changes: A case study from Bømlo, Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Due to road construction, the University Museum of Bergen conducted a rescue excavation in Vika, Bømlo County, some 5 km from the large greenstone quarry Hespriholmen on the Norwegian west coast. The site revealed two ... -
Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Reverse development, or the ability to rejuvenate by morphological reorganization into the preceding life cycle stage is thought to be restricted to a few species within Cnidaria. To date, Turritopsis dohrnii is the only ... -
Microbial occurrence and symbiont detection in a global sample of lichen metagenomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In lichen research, metagenomes are increasingly being used for evaluating symbiont composition and metabolic potential, but the overall content and limitations of these metagenomes have not been assessed. We reassembled ... -
Genus Erica: An identification aid version 4.00
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Species identification is fundamental to all aspects of biology and conservation. The process can be challenging, particularly in groups including many closely related or similar species. The problem is confounded by the ... -
In-situ observations of gelatinous zooplankton aggregations in inshore and offshore Arctic waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), play a crucial role in marine food webs, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration, however, quantifying their abundances remains challenging due to their delicate body structure, complex life ... -
Integrated taxonomy, biology and biogeography of the Afrotropical genus Xyloctonus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The peculiar Afrotropical bark beetle genus Xyloctonus Eichhoff, 1872 is revised and its biology described. Several unusual morphological features reflect adaptations to predator avoidance as they are highly exposed during ... -
Pollinator shifts despite hybridisation in the Cape's hyperdiverse heathers (Erica, Ericaceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Interrogating the ecological and geographic factors that influence population divergence dynamics can reveal why some groups of organisms diversify more prolifically than others. One such group is the heathers (Erica, ... -
An integrated taxonomic revision of Ctonoxylon (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) reveals new Malagasy species originating from multiple recent colonisations of the island
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ctonoxylon is a strictly Afrotropical genus of bark beetles breeding under bark of rainforest trees and lianas. A taxonomic revision of the genus included a molecular phylogenetic analysis of ten species based on three ... -
Seasonal variation in migration routes of Common Whitethroat Curruca communis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Although geolocator tracking of small passerines has become commonplace in the last two decades, this tool is still underutilized for gathering natural history data of migration in many species. Common Whitethroat (Curruca ... -
'Unmaking' the Deer in Medieval Europe: Historical and Archaeological Evidence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Deer hunting was heavily ritualized in medieval Europe, as indicated by historical and archaeological evidence; it also emphasized social differentiation. The butchery of a deer carcass (‘unmaking’) was integral to the ... -
Unexpected diversity and novel lineages in the cosmopolitan genus Nanomia (Cnidaria: Siphonophorae: Physonectae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Integrated use of molecular and morphological methods reveals unexpected diversity in the cosmopolitan siphonophore genus Nanomia. Species delimitation analyses based on COI and 16S sequences suggest up to three distinct ... -
Curating an online checklist for Erica L. (Ericaceae): contributing to and supporting global conservation through the World Flora Online
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)To support the work of the Global Conservation Consortium for Erica and update the Erica checklist in the World Flora Online (WFO), we have curated the taxonomic backbone in the WFO by expanding it to include updated ... -
Arenicolidae (Annelida) in Norwegian waters: Species occurrence, bathymetric distribution and identification of juvenile specimens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The two species of Arenicolidae, Arenicola marina and Arenicolides ecaudata, are common along the Norwegian coast. Juveniles and anterior fragments are often encountered when grab sampling, making traditional morphological ... -
Identifying plant fibres in cultural heritage with optical and electron microscopy: how to present results and avoid pitfalls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Identification of archaeological and historical textile fibres is important because it gives insight into resource management in former times. The arrival of new tools such as table-top scanning electron microscopes, have ... -
Diversity of Orbiniella (Orbiniidae, Annelida) in the North Atlantic and the Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this work, the diversity of the genus Orbiniella in the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic waters south of Iceland is studied based on the analyses of molecular markers (mitochondrial COI, 16S rDNA and nuclear ITS2) and ... -
