A baseline for the genetic stock identification of Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, in ICES Divisions 6.a, 7.b-c
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Atlantic herring in International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Divisions 6.a, 7.b–c comprises at least three populations, distinguished by temporal and spatial differences in spawning, which have until recently ... -
The chronology of reindeer hunting on Norway's highest ice patches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-24)The melting of perennial ice patches globally is uncovering a fragile record of alpine activity, especially hunting and the use of mountain passes. When rescued by systematic fieldwork (glacial archaeology), this evidence ... -
Computational animal welfare: towards cognitive architecture models of animal sentience, emotion and wellbeing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To understand animal wellbeing, we need to consider subjective phenomena and sentience. This is challenging, since these properties are private and cannot be observed directly. Certain motivations, emotions and related ... -
Disentangling the effects of sex, life history and genetic background in Atlantic salmon: growth, heart and liver under common garden conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Livestock domestication has long been a part of agriculture, estimated to have first occurred approximately 10 000 years ago. Despite the plethora of traits studied, there is little understanding of the possible impacts ... -
The dynamics of trait variance in multi-species communities: Multi-species trait variance dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this paper, we establish the explicit connection between deterministic trait-based population-level models (in the form of partial differential equations) and species-level models (in the form of ordinary differential ... -
Ecological ramifications of adaptation to size-selective mortality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Size-selective mortality due to harvesting is a threat to numerous exploited species, but how it affects the ecosystem remains largely unexplored. Here, we used a pond mesocosm experiment to assess how evolutionary responses ... -
Evolutionary drivers of kype size in atlantic salmon (salmo salar): domestication, age and genetics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-17)The diversity of reproduction and associated mating patterns in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has long captivated evolutionary biologists. Salmo salar exhibit strategies involving migration, bold mating behaviours and ... -
Inferring Atlantic salmon post-smolt migration patterns using genetic assignment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Understanding migratory patterns is important for predicting and mitigating unwanted consequences of environmental change or anthropogenic challenges on vulnerable species. Wild Atlantic salmon undergo challenging migrations ... -
Losing the ‘arms race’: multiresistant salmon lice are dispersed throughout the North Atlantic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Nothing lasts forever, including the effect of chemicals aimed to control pests in food production. As old pesticides have been compromised by emerging resistance, new ones have been introduced and turned the odds back in ... -
A minimalist model for coevolving supply and drainage networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Numerous complex systems, both natural and artificial, are characterized by the presence of intertwined supply and/or drainage networks. Here, we present a minimalist model of such coevolving networks in a spatially ... -
A nonlinear multi-scale model for blood circulation in a realistic vascular system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the last decade, numerical models have become an increasingly important tool in biological and medical science. Numerical simulations contribute to a deeper understanding of physiology and are a powerful tool for better ... -
The pantophysin gene and its relationship with survival in early life stages of Atlantic cod: Pantophysin in Atlantic cod
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Genetic markers are widely used in fisheries management around the world. While the genetic structure and markers selected are usually based on samples from the wild, very few controlled experiments have been carried out ...
