Wind to insect pollination ratios and floral traits in five alpine Salix species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)This study examines the ratio of wind to insect pollination of five alpine-arctic Salix species and possible correlations between plant traits and this ratio. The field work was done in an alpine area in southwest Norway, ... -
Breeding system, insect flower visitation, and floral traits of two alpine cerastium species in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)The pollination and reproductive ecology of Saxifraga stellaris was investigated in alpine southwest Norway. A breeding system analysis, with performance of controlled crosses, revealed that S. stellaris is self-compatible ... -
Change and variation in a hyer-arid cultural landscape: A merhodological approach using remote sensing timeseries (Landsat MSS and TM, 1973-1996) from the Wadi vegetation of the eastern desert of Egypt
(Master thesis, 1999)Nine wadi localities in a hyper-arid environment have been registered in the field and studied using earth observation data. Branch height, crown – and trunk – diameter, and indicators of land-use such as present traces ... -
Guidelines for follow-up of women at high risk for inherited breast cancer: Consensus statement from the Biomed 2 Demonstration programme on inherited breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)Protocols for activity aiming at early diagnosis and treatment of inherited breast or breast-ovarian cancer have been reported. Available reports on outcome of such programmes are considered here. It is concluded that the ... -
A sensetive zonagenetic assay for rapid in vivo assessment of estrogenic potency of xenobiotics and mycotoxins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999-01)Mounting evidence confirms that hepatic biosynthetic processes are essential for female sexual maturation in fish, which is directly controlled by estrogens. These oogenetic events (zonagenesis and vitellogenesis) are ... -
Temperature-dependent digestion handling time in juvenile cod and possible consequences for prey choice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999-05-18)The paper combines experimental work with modelling. The aim was to estimate the temperature-dependent digestion handling time, which is defined as the time taken to digest the whole prey or the whole stomach contents, and ... -
Application of in vitro transcribed and translated HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and integrase in protein-protein interaction studies
(Master thesis, 2000)Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) necessitates the two viral enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN). These two proteins are found to associate in a large nucleoprotein complex called the ... -
Individual variation in competitive performance in juvenile cod
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000) -
Is individual variation in competitive performance of reared juvenile cod influenced by haemoglobin genotype?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000)To succeed in scramble competition for food an individual fish will have to have characteristics that allow it to respond rapidly to encountered prey. A trait such as metabolic rate, which has a positive effect on oxygen ... -
Palaeovegetation and environment during Weichselian stadials and interstadials at Mamontovaya Kurja and Sokolova in the Pechora basin, northern Russia
(Master thesis, 2000)The vegetation and climate history of the Pechora area of northwestern Russia during the Early- and Mid Weichselian have been studied. Sediments from two sites have been analysed in this study; from Sokolova and Mamontovaya ... -
Zooplankton (Cladocera, Ostracoda), Chironomidae and other benthic faunal remains in sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes: the CASSARINA Project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Palaeolimnological studies were carried out on sediment cores from nine North African wetland lakes. The lakes represented a variety of habitats ranging from freshwater to mixohaline conditions and with and without direct ... -
Population genetic structure of the glacier lanternfish, Benthosema glaciale (Myctophidae) in Norwegian waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)It is hypothesised that the fjords with restricted water circulation may partially isolate fish populations living there. The pelagic life history stages of the mesopelagic lanternfish may potentially subject to dispersal ... -
Recent ecosystem dynamics in nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)An integrated multi-disciplinary study of nine North African lakes (CASSARINA) aims to establish ecological baselines and to explore responses to 20th century human impacts on their ecosystems. Water chemistry measurements ... -
Length Related Diurnal Vertical Migration of Cod (Gadus morhua L.), Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus L.) and Redfish (Sebastes spp.) in the Barents Sea
(Master thesis, 2001)Vertical fish migrations can increase variability in bottom survey data, especially if unknown diurnal length-frequency distribution is different between layers. Surveys, using echo sounder technique to estimate demersal ... -
Terrestrial pollen record of recent land-use changes around nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Pollen analyses and related plant macrofossil records are presented from short cores from nine North African lakes in the EU-funded CASSARINA project. Terrestrial pollen reflects human impact on the vegetation and landscape ... -

Radiometrically determined dates and sedimentation rates for recent sediments in nine North African wetland lakes (the CASSARINA Project)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Sediment cores were collected from nine wetland lakes in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt for the CASSARINA project investigating environmental change in Northern African wetlands. The cores were dated radiometrically by using ...
