Linked seasonality between a phoretic mite and its moth fly host (Parasitiformes: Mesostigmata and Diptera: Psychodidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Phoresy is a widespread phenomenon in mites. It allows mesostigmatid mites that are associated with ephemeral habitats such as mammal dung to travel fast on larger animals that can detect a proper habitat from a greater ... -
Long-term changes in regional vegetation cover along the west coast of southern Norway: The importance of human impact
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05)Questions: How open was the landscape prior to agriculture? Did agriculture start earlier in the south than in the north? How did the vegetation change in different regions after the introduction of agriculture? Location: ... -
A long-term study of size variation in Northern Goshawk Accipiter gentilis across Scandinavia, with a focus on Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Changing climate and growing human impacts are resulting in globally rising temperatures and the widespread loss of habitats. How species will adapt to these changes is not well understood. The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter ... -
Long-term vegetation dynamics and land-use history: Providing a baseline for conservation strategies in protected Alnus glutinosa swamp woodlands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Alnus glutinosa (alder) swamp woodlands are in danger of disappearing in Europe and, in Norway, several habitats with alder are threatened. Knowledge about the dynamics of alder swamp woodlands is crucial for the conservation ... -
The lower bathyal and abyssal seafloor fauna of eastern Australia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last ... -
Lycodes adolfi Nielsen and Fosså, 1993 (Teleostei: Zoarcidae) found in the Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-09)Adolf’s eelpout, Lycodes adolfi, was found at five bottom trawl stations in 2007–2009, on the slope towards the Sofia Deep north of Spitsbergen, at depths of 970–1,220 m and water temperatures below 0°C. Previously, the ... -
Mapping of marine benthic invertebrates in the Oslofjord and the Skagerrak: sampling data of museum collections from 1950–1955 and from recent investigations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Data from large sampling programmes for the mapping of marine invertebrates in the Oslofjord, Norway, and the Skagerrak, spanning more than six decades, are compiled and digitized to provide easy access in modern data ... -
Marchantiana asserigena, a genus and species new to Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Marchantiana asserigena is reported new to Norway from the south-west (counties Rogaland, Hordaland, Sogn og Fjordane, and Møre og Romsdal) at altitudes from near sea level to 393 m. It occurs on branches of trees and ... -
Marine bio-erosion cavities in metamorphic limestone, weathering rates, and the post glacial land rise in Salten, North Norway.
(Working paper, 2022)Marine mollusk activity initiate erosion cavities in marble and dolomite in the Saltsraumen littoral zone. Such cavities are gradually exposed above sea water by the still on-going eustatic rebound since the last Ice age. ... -
The mediterranean sea as a gateway for invasion of the red sea: The case of the indo-west pacific head-shield slug chelidonura fulvipunctata baba, 1938
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-07)The number of tropical species established in the Mediterranean Sea has risen at an unprecedented rate in the last 40–50 years, often entering the basin from the Red Sea and to a lesser extent by shipping or mariculture. ... -
Microhabitat change drives diversification in pholcid spiders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-19)Background: Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates. Here, we investigate the influence of microhabitat on ... -
Microsatellite markers for the biogeographically enigmatic sandmyrtle (Kalmia buxifolia, Phyllodoceae: Ericaceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Premise: Microsatellite markers were developed for sandmyrtle, Kalmia buxifolia (Ericaceae), to facilitate phylogeographic studies in this taxon and possibly many of its close relatives. Methods and Results: Forty‐eight ... -
Mimes of the past: Eocene midges of the tribe Pseudochironomini (Chironomidae, Diptera) reveal their peculiarities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This is the first study focused on Eocene dipterans of the tribe Pseudochironomini (subfamily Chironominae, family Chironomidae), based on unique materials from Baltic amber. Two new genera and three new species: Eomicromimus ... -
Miriquidica majae, a new lichen species from oldgrowth Picea abies forests in central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The new species Miriquidica majae Tønsberg is described from northern boreal forests in Central Norway where it is restricted to trunks of Picea abies, mainly in oldgrowth forests. Chemically M. majae recalls Myochroidea ... -
Mites (Oribatida and Mesostigmata) and vegetation as complementary bioindicators in peatlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Vegetation is widely used in the assessment of the quality of peatlands, while the invertebrate fauna of peatlands is relatively poorly studied. We compared the bioindicator values of vegetation with two arthropod groups ... -
Mitochondrial DNA sequencing of a wet-collection syntype demonstrates the importance of type material as genetic resource for lantern shark taxonomy (Chondrichthyes: Etmopteridae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)After initial detection of target archival DNA of a 116-year-old syntype specimen of the smooth lantern shark, Etmopterus pusillus, in a single-stranded DNA library, we shotgun-sequenced additional 9 million reads from ... -
Mitochondrial Genome Evolution in Annelida—A Systematic Study on Conservative and Variable Gene Orders and the Factors Influencing its Evolution
