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, 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 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 ... -
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) ... -
Selective feeding on jellyfish organs by northern fulmars Fulmarus glacialis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several marine animals prey extensively on jellyfish in spite of the low energy contents of this type of prey. Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis observed in the Barents Sea feeding on medusae of lion’s mane jellies Cyanea ... -
Shrimps of the genus Periclimenes (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae) associated with mushroom corals (Scleractinia, Fungiidae): Linking DNA barcodes to morphology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Most marine palaemonid shrimp species live in symbiosis with invertebrates of various phyla. These associations range from weak epibiosis to obligatory endosymbiosis and from restricted commensalism to semi-parasitism. On ... -
Skipping-type migration in a small Arctic wader, the Temminck's stint Calidris temminckii
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03)By using morphometric data and geolocator tracking we investigated fuel loads and spatio-temporal patterns of migration and non-breeding in Temminck's stints Calidris temminckii. Body masses in stints captured at autumn ... -
