Quartz textural analysis from an anastomosing shear zone system: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Ribeira belt, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Strain localization and influence of grain-size reduction processes were investigated from field and microstructural observations, and from quartz textural analysis using EBSD, in rocks deformed along an anastomosing network ... -
Radiocarbon dates of two musk ox vertebrae reveal ice-free conditions during late Marine Isotope Stage 3 in central South Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)One of the most reliable proofs of terrestrial ice-free conditions within Stadials is the presence of terrestrial vertebrate fauna that require access to vegetation in the winter, for example sedentary birds such as ... -
Reconstructing the history of a fragmented and heavily exploited red deer population using ancient and contemporary DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-26)Background: Red deer (Cervus elaphus) have been an important human resource for millennia, experiencing intensive human influence through habitat alterations, hunting and translocation of animals. In this study we investigate ... -
Red-spotted Bluethroats Luscinia s. svecica migrate along the Indo-European flyway: a geolocator study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-11)Capsule Red-spotted Bluethroats Luscinia s. svecica from two European breeding populations spent the boreal winter on the Indian sub-continent. Aim Tracking the migration of Red-spotted Bluethroats from Europe to the ... -
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 ... -

A review of the scientific knowledge of the seascape off Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Despite the exclusion of the Southern Ocean from assessments of progress towards achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Strategic Plan, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ... -
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 ... -
