From complex to simple: myogenesis in an aplacophoran mollusk reveals key traits in aculiferan evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-18)Background Recent studies suggest a bifurcation at the base of Mollusca, resulting in the primarily single-shelled Conchifera (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Scaphopoda, Monoplacophora, Cephalopoda) and the spicule-bearing Aculifera ... -
Ancestral role of Pax2/5/8 in molluscan brain and multimodal sensory system development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)Background Mollusks represent the largest lophotrochozoan phylum and exhibit highly diverse body plans. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcription factors such as Pax genes play important roles during their ... -
Flora Norvegica av J.E. Gunnerus. På norsk og med kommentarer

Contribution to the prehistory at Røst, Lofoten, North Norway, a multiproxy palaeoecological approach
(Journal article, 2016)Archaeological, osteological and palynological data are presented and give evidence for use of the marginal and exposed archipelago Røst from the Neolithic onwards. Small sea level changes have affected the settled areas ... -
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 ... -
The bubble snails (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) of Mozambique: an overlooked biodiversity hotspot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)This first account, dedicated to the shallow water marine heterobranch gastropods of Mozambique is presented with a focus on the clades Acteonoidea and Cephalaspidea. Specimens were obtained as a result of sporadic sampling ... -
