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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Mitogenomic sequences and evidence from unique gene rearrangements corroborate evolutionary relationships of myctophiformes (Neoteleostei)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-06-03)Background: A skewed assemblage of two epi-, meso- and bathypelagic fish families makes up the order Myctophiformes – the blackchins Neoscopelidae and the lanternfishes Myctophidae. The six rare neoscopelids show few ... -
Molecular phylogeny of bark and ambrosia beetles reveals multiple origins of fungus farming during periods of global warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-08-01)Background: Fungus farming is an unusual life style in insects that has evolved many times in the wood boring weevils named ‘ambrosia beetles’. Multiple occurrences of this behaviour allow for a detailed comparison of the ... -
A molecular phylogeny of the Indo-West Pacific species of Haloa sensu lato gastropods (Cephalaspidea: Haminoeidae): Tethyan vicariance, generic diversity, and ecological specialization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-06)The cephalaspidean gastropod genus Haminoea has been considered a worldwide radiation with species living in intertidal and shallow areas with algae, seagrass sandy-mud, mangroves, and coral reefs. Recently this monophyletic ... -
Monophyly, Taxon Sampling, and the Nature of Ranks in the Classification of Orb-Weaving Spiders (Araneae: Araneoidea)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We address some of the taxonomic and classification changes proposed by Kuntner et al. (2019) in a comparative study on the evolution of sexual size dimorphism in nephiline spiders. Their proposal to recircumscribe araneids ... -
Nest distribution and nest habitat of the Tibetan Partridge ( Perdix hodgsoniae ) near Lhasa, Tibet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)Background: Little is hitherto known about the breeding ecology of the Tibetan Partridge (Perdix hodgsoniae) which is endemic to the Tibetan plateau. Here we describe nest densities, inter-nest distances and general nest ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)Background: Little is hitherto known about the breeding ecology of the Tibetan Partridge (Perdix hodgsoniae) which is endemic to the Tibetan plateau. Here we describe nest densities, inter-nest distances and general nest ... -
New and noteworthy lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Twelve species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are reported as new to Fennoscandia. Additionally, we report 19 species as new to Norway. New localites are given for 47 rare or seldom collected species. The new combination ... -
A new genus of Podonominae (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Late Eocene Rovno amber from Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-08)The genus Palaeoboreochlus Baranov et Andersen, n. gen. is erected based on P. inornatus Baranov et Andersen, n. sp. described from a male found in Late Eocene Rovno amber. The new genus groups with Boreochlus Edwards in ... -
A new invasive weed-feeding species of Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) Kieffer from South Africa (Diptera: Chironomidae, Chironominae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-19)Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) tuburcinatum Andersen et Bello González sp. n. is described and figured as male, female, pupa and larva based on material collected in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa, imported into ... -
New molecular markers resolve the phylogenetic position of the enigmatic wood-boring weevils Platypodinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The precise phylogenetic position of the weevil subfamily Platypodinae continues to be one of the more contentious issues in weevil systematics. Morphological features of adult beetles and similar ecological adaptations ... -
New observations of the enigmatic West African Cellana limpet (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Nacellidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-25)Background: Identification of limpets is often hampered by highly variable within-species shell morphologies and colour patterns. Since pre-Linnean times this has produced complex taxonomies with confusing nomenclatorial ... -
A new phylogeny of the Cephalaspidea (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) based on expanded taxon sampling and gene markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08)The Cephalaspidea is a diverse marine clade of euthyneuran gastropods with many groups still known largely from shells or scant anatomical data. The definition of the group and the relationships between members has been ... -
