Reviewing the puzzling intracontinental termination of the Araçuaí-West Congo orogenic belt and its implications for orogenic development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Palinspastic reconstructions suggest that the late Proterozoic–Cambrian Brasiliano/Pan-African orogenic belt in southeast Brazil and west Congo terminated northwards into an embayment within the São Francisco-Congo cratonic ... -
Revision of European Wormaldia species (Trichoptera, Philopotamidae): Chimeric taxa of integrative organisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We have recognised significant incongruences among the most commonly used taxonomic characters in the European species of Wormaldia genus of the Philopotamidae caddisfly family. During taxonomical analysis and ranking ... -
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. ... -
Revision of the genus Phloeoditica Schedl - with description of two new genera and two new species in Phloeosinini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-09-17)The genus Phloeoditica Schedl currently includes four species from Southeast Asia. These species vary substantially in important morphological characters and indicate the existence of multiple genera for these species. A ... -
Rhachotropis (Eusiroidea, Amphipoda) from the North East Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The genus Rhachotropis has the widest geographic and bathymetric distribution of all amphipod genera worldwide. Molecular and morphological investigations of specimens sampled around Iceland and off the Norwegian coast ... -
Scanning electron microscopy observations of Loa loa (Nematoda)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We present a case report of periocular Loa loa. The key feature of L. loa distinguishing it from other human filarial parasites are cuticular bosses, which are presented in images from a light microscope and a scanning ... -
Scener fra vikingtid som kilde til kosmologi
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Viking Age art is dominated by animal motifs. In particular, the so-called ‘gripping-beasts’ spread from the end of the eighth century. This article discusses a couple of examples of motifs on archaeological objects in ... -
Seasonal dynamics of mites (Acari) in pastures and meadows in Poland, with species analysis of Oribatida
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The study involved three pastures, grazed by geese, goats and fallow deer, and three nearby meadows (control plots) situated in north-central Poland. Samples of 150 cm3 each (6 cm of soil and 3 cm of lower parts of plants) ... -
Seasonal variation in urban pollen resource use by north temperate European honeybees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Urban green infrastructure can provide important habitats for pollinators and support urban ecosystem services. Therefore, these areas must be managed to maximize biodiversity and density of pollinating insects. We used ... -
Selective feeding on jellyfish organs by northern fulmars Fulmarus glacialis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several marine animals prey extensively on jellyfish in spite of the low energy contents of this type of prey. Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis observed in the Barents Sea feeding on medusae of lion’s mane jellies Cyanea ... -
Setting the baseline for the dynamics of siphonophores and hydromedusae in Oslofjorden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Knowledge of the spatio-temporal dynamics of hydromedusae and siphonophores is scarce despite their key role as predators. In the temperate inlet of Oslofjorden, studies dealing with these organisms are limited to a few ... -
Sexual dimorphism and phylogenetic position of Chilodendron (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) – a long isolated lineage endemic to Madagascar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Chilodendron Schedl, 1953 is resurrected as a valid genus based on Chilodendron planicolle Schedl, 1953. This is the only representative of the tribe Hylesinini Erichson, 1836 found on Madagascar and a molecular phylogenetic ... -
Shrimps of the genus Periclimenes (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae) associated with mushroom corals (Scleractinia, Fungiidae): Linking DNA barcodes to morphology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Most marine palaemonid shrimp species live in symbiosis with invertebrates of various phyla. These associations range from weak epibiosis to obligatory endosymbiosis and from restricted commensalism to semi-parasitism. On ... -
Simultaneous barcode sequencing of diverse museum collection specimens using a mixed RNA bait set
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A growing number of publications presenting results from sequencing natural history collection specimens reflect the importance of DNA sequence information from such samples. Ancient DNA extraction and library preparation ... -
Size variation in mid-Holocene North Atlantic Puffins indicates a dynamic response to climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-24)Seabirds are one of the most at-risk groups, with many species in decline. In Scandinavia, seabirds are at a heightened risk of extinction due to accelerated global warming. Norway is home to significant portion of the ... -
Skipping-type migration in a small Arctic wader, the Temminck's stint Calidris temminckii
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03)By using morphometric data and geolocator tracking we investigated fuel loads and spatio-temporal patterns of migration and non-breeding in Temminck's stints Calidris temminckii. Body masses in stints captured at autumn ... -
