Biodiversity and ecology of lichens of Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12)We inventoried lichens in Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska, USA We assembled the known information on occurrence and ecology of lichens in this park by combining field, herbarium, and literature studies. Our results ... -
Biodiversity, ecology, and behavior of the recently discovered insect order Mantophasmatodea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)The spectacular discovery of the new insect order Mantophasmatodea in 2002 was immediately followed by detailed studies on morphology and scattered information on different aspects of its behavior and general biology. A ... -
Biogeography of jellyfish in the North Atlantic, by traditional and genomic methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-15)Scientific debate on whether or not the recent increase in reports of jellyfish outbreaks represents a true rise in their abundance has outlined a lack of reliable records of Cnidaria and Ctenophora. Here we describe ... -
Birds in medieval Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Whilst modern avian distributions in Scandinavia are well studied, how past events and processes have shaped modern bird communities in the region remains poorly known. This is mainly due to the fact that work on post-glacial ... -
The black-legged kittiwake preen gland—an overlooked organ for depuration of fat-soluble contaminants?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-18)Most birds preen their feathers with an oily excrete from the uropygial (preen) gland. This oily excrete contains persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which make the preen gland a potential route of depuration of POPs in ... -
Blind flight? A new troglobiotic orthoclad (Diptera, Chironomidae) from the Lukina Jama - Trojama Cave in Croatia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-27)The genus Troglocladius Andersen, Baranov et Hagenlund, gen. n. is erected based on T. hajdi Andersen, Baranov et Hagenlund, sp. n. collected at 980 m depth in the Lukina jama—Trojama cave system in Croatia. Morphological ... -
Brittle basement deformation during the Caledonian Orogeny observed by K-Ar geochronology of illite-bearing fault gouge in west-central Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study presents K-Ar ages of illite-bearing fault gouges in crystalline basement in central-western Sweden. Samples were taken from two faults that localized brittle deformation marginal to and within mafic dikes that ... -
The bubble snails (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) of Mozambique: an overlooked biodiversity hotspot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)This first account, dedicated to the shallow water marine heterobranch gastropods of Mozambique is presented with a focus on the clades Acteonoidea and Cephalaspidea. Specimens were obtained as a result of sporadic sampling ... -
Bulk de novo mitogenome assembly from pooled total DNA elucidates the phylogeny of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Complete mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be reliable markers for phylogeny reconstruction among diverse animal groups. However, the relative difficulty and high cost associated with obtaining de novo full mitogenomes ... -
Characterization of bone surface modifications on an Early to Middle Pleistocene bird assemblage from Mata Menge (Flores, Indonesia) using multifocus and confocal microscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-01)Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) is a key region for the study of human evolution. New fossil and archaeological evidence, from several islands, suggests an Early to Middle Pleistocene colonisation date by hominins. A taphonomic ... -
Chromosome-level reference genome of the soursop (Annona muricata): A new resource for Magnoliid research and tropical pomology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The flowering plant family Annonaceae includes important commercially grown tropical crops, but development of promising species is hindered by a lack of genomic resources to build breeding programs. Annonaceae are part ... -
Classification of Weevils as a data-driven science: leaving opinion behind
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-08)Data and explicit taxonomic ranking criteria, which minimize taxonomic change, provide a scientific approach to modern taxonomy and classification. However, traditional practices of opinion-based taxonomy (i.e., mid-20th ... -
Coincident mass occurrence of gelatinous zooplankton in Northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-23)In autumn 2015, several sources reported observations of large amounts of gelatinous material in a large north Norwegian fjord system, either caught when trawling for other organisms or fouling fishing gear. The responsible ... -

Commons, Associations, And Possibilities of egalitarian life in Paris, France
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this article I ask, at what level does the egalitarian life of the French Republic manifest itself? In what social spaces do people get to enjoy its slogan, Liberté, égalité, fraternité? I take these questions to be ... -
The complete mitochondrial genome of Scutopus ventrolineatus (Mollusca: Chaetodermomorpha) supports the Aculifera hypothesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-25)Background: With more than 100000 living species, mollusks are the second most diverse metazoan phylum. The current taxonomic classification of mollusks recognizes eight classes (Neomeniomorpha, Chaetodermomorpha, ... -
Complex patterns of reticulate evolution in opportunistic weeds (Potentilla L., Rosaceae), as revealed by low-copy nuclear markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Background: Most cinquefoils (Potentilla L., Rosaceae) are polyploids, ranging from tetraploid (4x) to dodecaploid (12x), diploids being a rare exception. Previous studies based on ribosomal and chloroplast data indicated ... -
Complex sublinear burrows in the deep sea may be constructed by amphipods
