Demographic developments in Stone Age coastal western Norway by proxy of radiocarbon dates, stray finds and palynological data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper presents a multi-proxy approach to coastal Stone Age demography. It uses the district Hordaland, western Norway as a case and applies the proxies SPD (summed probability distributions) of radiocarbon dates and ... -
Demographic estimates from the Palaeolithic–Mesolithic boundary in Scandinavia: comparative benchmarks and novel insights
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Prehistoric demography has recently risen to prominence as a potentially explanatory variable for episodes of cultural change as documented in the archaeological and ethnographic record. While this has resulted in a veritable ... -
Demographic reconstruction from ancient DNA supports rapid extinction of the Great Auk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-26)The great auk was once abundant and distributed across the North Atlantic. It is now extinct, having been heavily exploited for its eggs, meat, and feathers. We investigated the impact of human hunting on its demise by ... -

Detecting destabilizing species in the phylogenetic backbone of Potentilla (Rosaceae) using low-copy nuclear markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The genus Potentilla (Rosaceae) has been subjected to several phylogenetic studies, but resolving its evolutionary history has proven challenging. Previous analyses recovered six, informally named, groups: the Argentea, ... -
Development of the nervous system in Solenogastres (Mollusca) reveals putative ancestral spiralian features
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-24)Background: The Solenogastres (or Neomeniomorpha) are a taxon of aplacophoran molluscs with contentious phylogenetic placement. Since available developmental data on non-conchiferan (that is, aculiferan) molluscs mainly ... -
