Two sympatric lineages of Australian Cnestus solidus share Ambrosiella symbionts but not Wolbachia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sympatric lineages of inbreeding species provide an excellent opportunity to investigate species divergence patterns and processes. Many ambrosia beetle lineages (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) reproduce by predominant inbreeding ... -
Two thousand years of Landscape—Human interactions at a coastal peninsula in Norway revealed through pollen analysis, shoreline reconstruction, and radiocarbon dates from archaeological sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Human impact on long-term vegetation and biodiversity changes is often discussed on a general level, connecting palynological data to archaeological time periods. In the present paper we present environmental change during ... -
Type of broadleaf forest matters most for ptyctimous mite communities (Acari, Oribatida) in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We studied ptyctimous moss mites, which are characteristic of forest habitats, in Norwegian broadleaf forests considered as biodiversity hotspot areas in Fennoscandia. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of different ... -
