Floral Color, Anthocyanin Synthesis Gene Expression and Control in Cape Erica Species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is a biodiversity hotspot, recognized globally for its unusually high levels of endemism. The origins of this biodiversity are a long-standing topic of research. The largest ... -
A Forest Pool as a Habitat Island for Mites in a Limestone Forest in Southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-12)Forest water bodies, e.g., pools, constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific flora and fauna thus contributing considerably to the landscape biodiversity. The mite communities of Oribatida and ... -
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 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. ... -
FUN Azores: a FUNctional trait database for the meio-, macro-, and megafauna from the Azores Marine Park (Mid-Atlantic Ridge)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Trait-based approaches that complement taxonomy-based studies have increased in popularity among the scientific community over the last decades. The collection of biological and ecological characteristics of species (i.e., ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Geographic patterns in range sizes and their drivers of endemic angiosperms in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Geographic range size of endemic species is the most important indicator of species' vulnerability to extinction and conservation prioritization, yet variation in range size among species and across space has been relatively ... -
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 analysis of Poales diversification – parallel evolution in space and time into open and closed habitats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Poales are one of the most species-rich, ecologically and economically important orders of plants and often characterise open habitats, enabled by unique suites of traits. We test six hypotheses regarding the evolution and ... -
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 distribution and evolutionary transitions of floral symmetry in angiosperms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Floral symmetry plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions and may have remarkable impacts on angiosperm diversification. However, spatiotemporal patterns in floral symmetry and drivers of these patterns ... -
