The effects of climate on resource allocation and traits of alpine and boreal herbaceous plants
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)Climate is rapidly changing, and species are expected to change their ranges to where conditions are now more suitable. Which lowland species that range shift into alpine environments could have potentially different effects ... -
The effects of different feed ratios on growth, welfare rating and maturation in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar ,L)
(Master thesis, 2023-10-20)The world population is increasing day by day and has surpassed 8 billion, and there will continue to be high demands of more protein to feed the world. Salmon farming is a rapidly growing industry and has been for the ... -
The effects of geodiversity on temporal shifts in alpine plant communities.
(Master thesis, 2021-05-31)Climate warming is inducing compositional shifts in alpine species communities across Europe. However, there are variations in the magnitude and direction of these shifts related to variations in the abiotic environment. ... -
The Effects of Marine Nutrients on 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and PCB-126 Toxicity in HEPA1-6 Cells
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02) -
The effects of stream channelization on salmonid habitats in western Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)Amidst the Anthropocene era’s heightened human influence on the environment and escalating habitat degradation, this study delves into the impacts of channelization on salmon and sea trout habitats in small streams in ... -
The effects of water temperature and photoperiod: Investigating the cause of early activation of the BPG axis in male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during the freshwater stages of development
(Master thesis, 2022-05-25)Early sexual maturation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts has been a major issue over the years and has recently become a prevalent issue in land-based production systems like the recirculating aquaculture systems ... -
The impacts of urbanization on pollinator communities in Bergen, Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-11-27)This study was conducted in Bergen, Norway in 2022, whereas I investigated the underlying factors of pollinator abundance and the abundance and richness of Bombus (bumblebees). I explored pollinator communities across ... -
The Infection Cycle of Marteilia pararefringens sp. nov. in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L.
(Master thesis, 2019-06-18)In 2016 the first case of marteiliosis in Norway was reported by the Institute of Marine Research. The discovery occurred in Agapollen, Bømlo, a previously active oyster pond. The parasite Marteilia pararefringens sp. nov. ... -
The influence of re-establishing Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) on the activity of invasive American mink (Neovison vison) on the southwest coast of Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Invasive species are one of the most impactful sources of biodiversity loss worldwide. Generalist predators may be especially damaging, as they can reduce survival and fecundity in native species and can compete with native ... -
The neighborhood matters: warming and novel competitors alter flower production of alpine plants
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Sexual reproduction, and the genetic variation it entails, could prove vital for plants’ ability to persist under a changing climate. Climate warming is causing species to shift their ranges to higher elevations and ... -
The Potential of Small Fish to Alleviate Micronutrient Deficiencies. A Case Study of Ghana.
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)Abstract Micronutrient deficiency also referred to as “hidden hunger” is one of the prevalent forms of malnutrition with about 340 million children deficient in essential vitamins and minerals globally (FAO, 2020). Fish ... -
The return of the Atlantic bluefin tuna to Norwegian waters
(Master thesis, 2019-06-15) -
The role of bioluminescent prey in the diet of two hatchetfish species and four lanternfish species in the North Atlantic Ocean in relation to eye-size
(Master thesis, 2023-06-16)The mesopelagic zone, often referred to as “the twilight zone” can be defined as the area of the ocean at 200-1000 m depth. Here, light levels vary greatly and provides a varying visual scene. At shallow depths, down-welling ... -
The role of crawling predators in the decline and distribution of blue mussels in Norwegian coastal waters
(Master thesis, 2022-08-22)Blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) are declining in coastal areas around the world. In Norway, they thrive on floating structures, while on rocky shores they have widely disappeared. Proposed and elsewhere reliable drivers such ... -
The role of marine nutrients in 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin toxicity in vitro and in vivo
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is the most potent dioxin congener and is associated with several adverse health effects. As a result of its high lipophilicity and slow degradation the compound easily accumulates ... -
The role of spatial dependency in niche shifts of invasive species
(Master thesis, 2023-09-01)Invasive species are an ongoing threat to nature and human interests. Species distribution models are used to predict the current and potential distribution of invasive species, but doing so has proved difficult. One ...
