Integrated taxonomic revision of Afrotropical Xyleborinus reveals an extraordinary recent radiation on Madagascar
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)Collection efforts on Madagascar have previously revealed a high species diversity in the Scolytinae genus Xyleborinus Reitter, 1913 compared with the African mainland. This study has produced a well supported phylogeny ... -
Reproductive allocation and floral traits of insect-pollinated forbs along climatic gradients in semi-natural grasslands
(Master thesis, 2020-06-24)Anthropogenic climate change is increasing both temperatures and precipitation in Western Norway, and these trends will be magnified in the future. This is expected to alter ecosystems, and to affect plants at different ... -
Are migration timing estimates based on tagged Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar) biased?
(Master thesis, 2020-06-20)Telemetry tags (e.g. PIT- or acoustic tags) are increasingly used in management to monitor the migration timing of Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar). Recent findings, however, suggest that tagged fish consistently migrate ... -
Growth performance and welfare of post-smolt (Salmo salar L.) reared in semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) – a comparative study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-23)The salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice infestations, escapees, diseases and environmental impact. Semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to abate these challenges. In the S-CCS, cultured ... -

Effekt av termisk avlusing på gjellehelse hos laks: Hos patogenfri laks og i kommersiell produksjon på Vestlandet
(Master thesis, 2020-06-12)Målet med dette studiet var å studere effektane av termisk avlusing på gjellehelsa til laks. Lakselus utgjer eit stort problem for norsk lakseoppdrett, og behandlingsmetodane er avgrensa grunna resistens mot fleire medikament. ... -
Tissue tropism and optimization and evaluation of diagnostics test for the detection of Pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2020-06-12)Since 2012, pilchard orthomyxovirus (POMV) has been of major concern to the Tasmanian salmonid industry. The virus was first discovered in pilchards, and is, so far, only shown to be highly infectious to Atlantic salmon ... -
Seasonal CO2 exchange in a coastal heathland in western Norway – effects of drought and bryophyte removal
(Master thesis, 2020-04-30)Climate models project that Western Norway will experience warmer temperatures with more frequent and extreme drought periods during the 21st century. Such climatic changes are likely to alter many vital ecosystem processes, ... -
Perspectives on intended learning outcomes in the field course and their assessment
(Master thesis, 2020-03-31)This thesis examines the assessment practices of biology courses at the University level that feature a fieldwork component (field course). Seven professors who teach and administrate such courses were interviewed about ... -
