Trophic interactions and abiotic factors drive functional and phylogenetic structure of vertebrate herbivore communities across the Arctic tundra biome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Communities are assembled from species that evolve or colonise a given geographic region, and persist in the face of abiotic conditions and interactions with other species. The evolutionary and colonisation histories of ... -
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 ... -
Tsv-N1: A novel DNA algal virus that infects tetraselmis striata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-17)Numbering in excess of 10 million per milliliter of water, it is now undisputed that aquatic viruses are one of the major factors shaping the ecology and evolution of Earth’s microbial world. Nonetheless, environmental ... -
Tuning and Development of an Individual-Based Model of the Herring Spawning Migration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-13)Norwegian spring spawning herring is a migratory pelagic fish stock that seasonally navigates between distant locations in the Norwegian Sea. The spawning migration takes place between late winter and early spring. In this ... -
Two apolipoproteins in salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), apolipoprotein 1 knock down reduces reproductive capacity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an ectoparasite of salmonid fish in the Northern Hemisphere, causing large economical losses in the aquaculture industry and represent a threat to wild populations of salmonids. ... -
Two homologous neutrophil serine proteases bind to POPC vesicles with different affinities: When aromatic amino acids matter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Neutrophil serine proteases Proteinase 3 (PR3) and human neutrophil elastase (HNE) are homologous antibiotic serine proteases of the polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Despite sharing a 56% sequence identity they have been ... -
Two hundred years of zooplankton vertical migration research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter-term diel vertical migration (DVM) has a periodicity of up to 1 ... -
Two new cryptic and sympatric species of the king crab parasite Briarosaccus (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) in the North Pacific
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-05)Rhizocephalan barnacles have been reported to parasitize a wide range of king crab species (Lithodidae). So far all these parasites have been assigned to a single species, Briarosaccus callosus Boschma, 1930, which is ... -
The two-step development of a duplex retina involves distinct events of cone and rod neurogenesis and differentiation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Unlike in mammals, persistent postembryonic retinal growth is a characteristic feature of fish, which includes major remodeling events that affect all cell types including photoreceptors. Consequently, visual capabilities ... -
Ulike interesser på ulike trinn? - En komparativ studie av elevers interesse for å lære biologi, med fokus på elevtyper, klasser og trinn
(Master thesis, 2020-06-18)Denne masteroppgaven har som formål å undersøke og beskrive elevers interesse for å lære biologi ved å benytte klyngeanalyse til å identifisere elevtyper. Oppgaven bruker et kvantitativt forskningsdesign med spørreskjema ... -

An Unaccounted Fraction of Marine Biogenic CaCO3 Particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-10-23)Biogenic production and sedimentation of calcium carbonate in the ocean, referred to as the carbonate pump, has profound implications for the ocean carbon cycle, and relate both to global climate, ocean acidification and ... -
Unaccounted mortality in purse seine fisheries. Quantification and mitigation of slipping mortality
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-06-06)Purse seining is an efficient fishing method that is used to catch most of the world’s pelagic fish species. In some of these fisheries slipping is used to adjust catch size, increase catch value or to release illegal ... -
Uncertainty and ignored information in the analysis of bat ultrasound: Bayesian approximation to the rescue
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Bat ultrasound analysis has been around for several decades and it is one of the most important tools in studies of bat ecology. Discrimination between species is based on intra-specific features of echolocation calls. ... -
Unclear associations between small pelagic fish and jellyfish in several major marine ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-28)During the last 20 years, a series of studies has suggested trends of increasing jellyfish (Cnidaria and Ctenophora) biomass in several major ecosystems worldwide. Some of these systems have been heavily fished, causing a ... -
Understanding climate change impacts on biome and plant distributions in the Andes: Challenges and opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aim: Climate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still poorly understood, particularly in the ... -
