Jellyfish summer distribution, diversity and impact on fish farms in a Nordic fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Jellyfish can cause high mortality of farmed fish and hence significant economic losses for the aquaculture industry. Despite their socio-economic importance, distribution and diversity data on gelatinous plankton are ... -
Kin selection and polygyny: Can relatedness lower the polygyny threshold?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Resource polygyny incurs costs of having to share breeding resources for female breeders. When breeding with a relative, however, such costs may be lessened by indirect fitness benefits through kin selection, while benefits ... -
Late Pleistocene songbirds of Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia); the first fossil passerine fauna described from Wallacea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-17)Background: Passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) dominate modern terrestrial bird communities yet their fossil record is limited. Liang Bua is a large cave on the Indonesian island of Flores that preserves Late Pleistocene–Holocene ... -
Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-05)Background The coincidence of long distance dispersal (LDD) and biome shift is assumed to be the result of a multifaceted interplay between geographical distance and ecological suitability of source and sink areas. Here, ... -
Lebetus scorpioides and Buenia jeffreysii (Teleostei: Gobiidae) found north of the Arctic Circle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Two gobiid species, Lebetus scorpioides and Buenia jeffreysii, were recorded in northern Norway, for the first time north of the Arctic Circle. While both species were found on the continental shelf west of the Lofoten ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The new species Lecidella varangrica Haugan & Tønsberg is described from the northern shores of the Varanger Peninsula, Finnmark, Norway. It probably belongs to the saxicolous L. asema group by having a pigmented hypothecium ... -
Lichens and associated fungi from Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Lichens are widely acknowledged to be a key component of high latitude ecosystems. However, the time investment needed for full inventories and the lack of taxonomic identification resources for crustose lichen and ... -
Limnophyes guarani sp. n., a new hygropetric Orthocladiiane from southern Brazil (Diptera: Chironomidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-20)A new species of Limnophyes Eaton collected in the Corvo Branco Mountains in Santa Catarina State is described and figured, based on male and female adults, larva and pupa. The species groups with L. griseata (Edwards) and ... -
Lineage sorting by parameres in Limnephilinae subfamily (Trichoptera): With description of a new tribe, new genera and new species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The discovery of the new Agaphylax genus with unique paramere organisation has initiated our lineage sorting of tribes by parameres in the Limnephilinae subfamily applying the principles and procedures of fine phenomics ... -
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: ... -
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 ... -

(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 ... -
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 ... -
