Pollinating bees in fruit orchards of Western Norway: 1. Where the Wild Bees Are: Exploring how the landscape context influences the abundance and diversity of wild bees visiting apple orchards 2.The foraging preference and behavior of managed and wild bees in apple and pear orchards
(Master thesis, 2022-03-14)1) Abstract. Several studies have found that the presence of natural and semi-natural habitats is beneficial, particularly for wild bees visiting crops. These relatively undisturbed areas provide essential foraging and ... -
Spawning during an oil spill: how exposure to the water-accommodated fraction of crude oil may disrupt polar cod (Boreogadus saida) reproduction
(Master thesis, 2020-07-01)Declining ice cover in the Arctic has made it possible to extract oil reserves in areas that were once unreachable. However, all oil exploration comes with an inherent risk of spills. Conditions in the Arctic may increase ... -
Is a warmer Arctic a more contaminated Arctic? Atlantification of Kongsfjorden in relation to contaminant levels in seabirds
(Master thesis, 2022-01-31)The Arctic, and Svalbard in particular, is experiencing a more rapid warming compared to the global average. Such Atlantification of the Arctic may change food webs in a way that can also affect the contaminant levels in ... -
The small-scale fisheries of Timor-Leste and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) of developing countries are an important yet neglected part of the world’s capture fisheries. The general lack of fisheries dependent and independent data makes it difficult to predict the ... -

Recreational fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna in Norwegian waters : A detailed look at the fishing effort and economic value of this new fishery.
(Master thesis, 2021-09-24)Recreational fishing is a popular hobby and ecosystem service around the world, yet the impact of recreational fishing on both fish populations and local economies is often overlooked. This thesis will look at the fishing ... -
Gene-editing of the monogenic diabetes associated gene hnf1ba to model multisystemic MODY5 disease mechanisms in zebrafish (DR)
(Master thesis, 2021-12-03)Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, non-obesity, and early-onset diabetes due to reduced pancreatic beta-cell secretion. Precision ... -
Mapping the amino acid composition of the peripheral membrane binding interface of PH domains
(Master thesis, 2021-11-24)Biological membranes are important in the organization of cells, and the main components of membranes are different kinds of lipids. Peripheral proteins are soluble and interact transiently and bind reversibly to lipids ... -

(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Kleptoparasitism is defined as the theft of procured resources from another individual and is common in many species, especially so in birds. This kind of interaction is well documented between common eiders and gulls. ... -
Functional assessment of 3'UTR regulatory elements using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model system - towards modulating protein levels in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) for more sustainable aquaculture
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Post-transcriptional regulation is a complex process that encompasses a myriad of different structures and mechanisms. There are several indications that regulatory elements in the 3'UTR play an important role in the ... -
Interaksjoner mellom marine næringsstoffer og dioksiner hos mus med human AhR
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Dioksiner og dioksinlignende PCB er en gruppe kjemiske forbindelser dannet via industrielle prosesser, som grunnet høy persistens vil akkumulere i fettvev hos mennesker og dyr. Fet fisk regnes som den største kilden til ... -

Trophic structure of mesopelagic species in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean based on stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen
(Master thesis, 2021-09-03)The mesopelagic zone is one of the largest, yet among the least explored habitats of the planet. Possible estimates of fish living in this zone range from around 1 to 15 billon tones of biomass which is 10 to 15 times that ... -
Effect of different arachidonic acid levels in broodstock diet on egg quality of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
(Master thesis, 2021-07-31)The production of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is growing and is becoming a focus area for the aquaculture industry. As a result of rising louse numbers and problems with resistance, biological methods such as cleaner ...
