High Diversity of Mites (Acari: Oribatida, Mesostigmata) Supports the High Conservation Value of a Broadleaf Forest in Eastern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Broadleaf forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and this biodiversity is in turn essential for their proper functioning. Mites (Acari) are a numerous and functionally essential component of these forests. We report ... -
High genetic diversity of common toad (Bufo bufo) populations under strong natural fragmentation on a Northern archipelago
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)The last decades have shown a surge in studies focusing on the interplay between fragmented habitats, genetic variation, and conservation. In the present study, we consider the case of a temperate pond-breeding anuran (the ... -

Historical demographic processes dominate genetic variation in ancient Atlantic cod mitogenomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ancient DNA (aDNA) approaches have been successfully used to infer the long-term impacts of climate change, domestication, and human exploitation in a range of terrestrial species. Nonetheless, studies investigating such ... -
History and evolution of the afroalpine fora: in the footsteps of Olov Hedberg
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The monumental work of Olov Hedberg provided deep insights into the spectacular and fragmented tropical alpine flora of the African sky islands. Here we review recent molecular and niche modelling studies and re-examine ... -
How complex is the Naineris setosa species complex? First integrative study of a presumed cosmopolitan and invasive annelid (Sedentaria: Orbiniidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We performed a comparative study of the specimens from the Naineris setosa complex from the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans and re-described the syntype of N. setosa, including the selection of the lectotype. Molecular ... -

(Arkeologiske utgravingsrapporter fra Fornminneseksjonen;2012, Research report, 2012)Rapporten omhandler undersøkelsene av 5 arkeologiske lokaliteter på Humberset og Hunnes i Volda kommune, Møre og Romsdal. Det ble åpnet fire utgravningsfelt og fire sjakter på Humberset. To ulike dyrkningslag ble dokumentert, ... -
Hybridization between the locally endangered Rosa spinosissima and Rosa mollis results in the pentaploid Rosa × sabinii in Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)Rosa spinosissima is an endangered species in Norway, found only within a limited area on the southwestern coast. Presumed hybrid forms between R. spinosissima and rose species within R. sect. Caninae have been recorded ... -
Identification of the polyp stage of three leptomedusa species using DNA barcoding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)DNA sequence data of hydromedusae and hydroids collected in the fjords near Bergen, Norway, permitted to connect three leptomedusae to three thecate hydroids with hitherto unknown life cycles. For all three species pairs, ... -
The impact of farming on prehistoric culinary practices throughout Northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)To investigate changes in culinary practices associated with the arrival of farming, we analysed the organic residues of over 1,000 pottery vessels from hunter-gatherer-fisher and early agricultural sites across Northern ... -
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 ... -
Incubation behaviour of the Common Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula at different latitudes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In biparental Charadriinae plovers, male and female incubation duties often resemble daily routines, with males typically incubating at night and females incubating during the day. By analysing incubation behaviour in three ... -
Infaunal and epifaunal secondary production in the Barents Sea, with focus on snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) prey resources and consumption
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Since the first observation of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) in the Barents Sea in 1996, the population has increased significantly, supporting a commercial fishery on the Norwegian shelf since 2012. To investigate whether ... -
Integrated Taxonomic Revision of Afrotropical Xyleborinus (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Reveals High Diversity After Recent Colonization of Madagascar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The ambrosia beetle genus Xyleborinus Reitter, 1913 is particularly species rich in Madagascar where the genus exhibits extraordinary morphological variation not seen elsewhere. This study provides the first detailed ... -
An integrative geochronological framework for the Pleistocene So'a basin (Flores, Indonesia), and its implications for faunal turnover and hominin arrival

Integrative taxonomy reveals a cryptic species of the nudibranch genus Polycera (Polyceridae) in European waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This work aimed to test whether the colour variability featured by the European nudibranch Polycera quadrilineata is consistent with the concept of a single polychromatic species or may hide multiple lineages. Samples from ... -
Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species, Nephroma orvoi, in the N. parile species complex (lichenized Ascomycota)
