Formidling fra felt i den digitale tidsalder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Most archaeologists agree that public outreach is an important part of archaeological practice. Communication of fresh results from excavations and new research creates both legitimacy and greater understanding of our ... -
From complex to simple: myogenesis in an aplacophoran mollusk reveals key traits in aculiferan evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-18)Background Recent studies suggest a bifurcation at the base of Mollusca, resulting in the primarily single-shelled Conchifera (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Scaphopoda, Monoplacophora, Cephalopoda) and the spicule-bearing Aculifera ... -
From deciduous forest to open landscape: application of new approaches to help understand cultural landscape development in western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-17)Development of the cultural landscape in a village situated by the inner fjords of western Norway is investigated by pollen analysis and quantitative reconstruction methods. Pollen samples from lake sediments and a soil ... -
From mountains to towns: DNA from ancient reindeer antlers as proxy for domestic procurement networks in medieval Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08)In medieval archaeology there are long traditions for studying foreign, exotic material culture as proxy for procurement networks of international reach. A paradox is that domestic networks, which brought products to ... -
From widespread faulting to localised rifting: Evidence from K-Ar fault gouge dates from the Norwegian North Sea rift shoulder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Although seismic and stratigraphic well information put tight constraints on rift basin evolution, eroded rift shoulders commonly expose polydeformed prerift basement whose deformation history may be difficult to constrain. ... -
Gammarid amphipods (Crustacea) in Norway, with a key to the species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-28)Thirteen species in the amphipod family Gammaridae have been reported from Norway. This paper gives a survey of the distribution and habitat of all 13 species of the family Gammaridae occurring or expected to occur in ... -
Gardens at remote lighthouses along the Norwegian coast. A botanical project
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2009)Et fyrhageprosjekt ble startet i 2002 med den målsetting, så langt det lot seg gjøre, å dokumentere bruk av hageplanter på norske fyrstasjoner. I løpet av prosjektet ble data fra vel 80 av et totalt antall på 207 fyr ... -
Gas flaring activity and black carbon emissions in 2017 derived from the Sentinel-3A Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Gas flares are a regionally and globally significant source of atmospheric pollutants. They can be detected by satellite remote sensing. We calculate the global flared gas volume and black carbon emissions in 2017 by ... -
Gater, torg og heterotopier i byen. En kommentar til de siste års hendelser i Paris
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Utgangspunktet for artikkelen er hvordan offentlige steder på forskjellige måter tiltrekker seg ulike kollektive uttrykk. For å peke på den særskilte rollen som gaten og torget spiller i byens utvikling, diskuteres de siste ... -
The Gaupne area in Sogn og Fjordane – a hot-spot for lichens in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)During a three-day field trip to the Gaupne area, Luster kommune, three main localities were visited in search of lichens. A total of 35 lichens or lichenicolous fungi were found to be new to Sogn og Fjordane, most of which ... -
Genetic and taxonomic assessment of the widespread Afrotropical ambrosia beetle Xyleborus principalis (Coleoptera, Scolytinae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The taxonomy of the widespread Afrotropical ambrosia beetle Xyleborus principalis Eichhoff, 1878 is reviewed based on morphological and molecular data. The species is both morphologically and genetically variable but without ... -
A genetic fingerprint of Amphipoda from Icelandic waters - the baseline for further biodiversity and biogeography studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Amphipods constitute an abundant part of Icelandic deep-sea zoobenthos yet knowledge of the diversity of this fauna, particularly at the molecular level, is scarce. The present work aims to use molecular methods to investigate ... -
Genomic mining of phylogenetically informative nuclear markers in bark and ambrosia beetles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-26)Deep level insect relationships are generally difficult to resolve, especially within taxa of the most diverse and species rich holometabolous orders. In beetles, the major diversity occurs in the Phytophaga, including ... -
The genus Massalongia (lichenised ascomycetae) in the Southern Hemisphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-04)The species of Massalongia recorded and described from the Southern Hemisphere are revised and it is shown that only one is present; M. patagonica which is widespread, with populations in Australia and New Zealand that ... -
The genus Xanthomendoza in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-09)We distinguish five Xanthomendoza species in Norway, viz., X. borealis, X. fallax, X. fulva, X. oregana, and X. ulophyllodes, based on morphology and molecular evidence. This paper gives an updated taxonomy of the Norwegian ... -
Geographical patterns in phylogenetic diversity of Chinese woody plants and its application for conservation planning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim Biodiversity hotspots are widely used as conservation priorities to preserve the tree of life. However, many conservation practices identify biodiversity hotspots without considering phylogenetic diversity (PD), which ... -
Global distribution and evolutionary transitions of angiosperm sexual systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Angiosperm sexual systems are fundamental to the evolution and distribution of plant diversity, yet spatiotemporal patterns in angiosperm sexual systems and their drivers remain poorly known. Using data on sexual systems ... -
Global gap-analysis of amphipod barcode library
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the age of global climate change and biodiversity loss there is an urgent need to provide effective and robust tools for diversity monitoring. One of the promising techniques for species identification is the use of DNA ... -
