Characteristics and sources of fluorescent aerosols in the central Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Arctic is sensitive to cloud radiative forcing. Due to the limited number of aerosols present throughout much of the year, cloud formation is susceptible to the presence of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating ... -
The importance of locally sourced data in identifying population trends: Insights from Iberian vertebrates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Understanding species population trends is key for assessing their conservation status and proposing measures to ensure their future persistence amid recent biodiversity loss. However, studies are reporting contrasting ... -
Detergent-resistant α-amylase derived from Anoxybacillus karvacharensis K1 and its production based on whey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the field of biotechnology, the utilization of agro-industrial waste for generating high-value products, such as microbial biomass and enzymes, holds significant importance. This study aimed to produce recombinant ... -
Untangling the Derogenes varicus species complex in Scandinavian waters and the Arctic: description of Derogenes abba n. sp. (Trematoda, Derogenidae) from Hippoglossoides platessoides and new host records for D. varicus (Müller, 1784) sensu stricto
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Several studies have shown that the euryxenic trematode Derogenes varicus (Müller, 1784) represents a species complex. Four lineages have been designated (DV1–4) with the DV1 clade corresponding to D. varicus sensu stricto. ... -
Understanding the Causes of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) Mortality in Norwegian Hatcheries: Challenges and Opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Lumpfish are broadly used as biological sea lice removers in Norwegian salmon farming and are mostly produced in hatcheries. To date, there is little systematic documentation on the mortality causes of lumpfish in hatcheries. ... -
Interaction of Bisphenol A and Its Analogs with Estrogen and Androgen Receptor from Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The widespread use of bisphenol A (BPA) in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins has made it a prevalent environmental pollutant in aquatic ecosystems. BPA poses a significant threat to marine and freshwater wildlife due ... -
Salmon lice biology, environmental factors, and smolt behaviour with implications for the Norwegian salmon farming management system: A critical review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)In 2017, a new regulatory management system, the traffic light system (TLS), was implemented to estimate the effects of salmon lice from Norwegian salmon aquaculture on marine survival of wild Atlantic salmon and forms the ... -
Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov., a Novel Feather-Degrading Anaerobic Thermophile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Caldanaerobacter subterraneus subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov. strain KAk was isolated from a geothermal hot spring located in Kazakhstan. Growth occurred at temperatures ranging from 50 to 80 °C, with approximately 70 ... -
Acute warming tolerance (CTmax) in zebrafish (Danio rerio) appears unaffected by changes in water salinity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Tolerance against acute warming is an essential trait that can determine how organisms cope during heat waves, yet the mechanisms underlying it remain elusive. Water salinity has previously been suggested to modulate warming ... -
A multidisciplinary approach to describe population structure of Solea solea in the Mediterranean Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Investigating marine species population structure in a multidisciplinary framework can reveal signatures of potential local adaptation and the consequences for management and conservation. In this study we delineate the ... -
Size-dependence of food intake and mortality interact with temperature and seasonality to drive diversity in fish life histories
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Understanding how growth and reproduction will adapt to changing environmental conditions is a fundamental question in evolutionary ecology, but predicting the responses of specific taxa is challenging. Analyses of the ... -
Spatio-temporal patterns in the biomass, species composition and nitrogen content of drift macroalgae in an urbanised coastal embayment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Understanding spatio-temporal variability in the production of drift macroalgae is useful for monitoring and assessing the influence of local anthropogenic nutrient sources on coastal ecosystems. In this study we: (1) ... -
Sea anemone–anemonefish symbiosis: Behavior and mucous protein profiling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Fish species of the genus Amphiprion (Perciformes: Pomacentridae) seek protection from predators among the tentacles of sea anemones as their natural habitat, where they live essentially unharmed from stinging by the host's ... -
Experimental Models to Study Immune Dysfunction in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, age-related, progressive multisystem disease associated with neuroinflammation and immune dysfunction. This review discusses the methodological approaches used to study the changes ... -
Comparative Analysis of Maternal Gene Expression Patterns Unravels Evolutionary Signatures Across Reproductive Modes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Maternal genes have a pivotal role in regulating metazoan early development. As such their functions have been extensively studied since the dawn of developmental biology. The temporal and spatial dynamics of their transcripts ... -
Killing the predator: impacts of highest-predator mortality on the global-ocean ecosystem structure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recent meta-analyses suggest that microzooplankton biomass density scales linearly with phytoplankton biomass density, suggesting a simple, general rule may underpin trophic structure in the global ocean. Here, we use a ... -
Weak reciprocal relationships between productivity and plant biodiversity in managed grasslands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Relationships between plant biodiversity and productivity are highly variable across studies in managed grasslands, partly because of the challenge of accounting for confounding's and reciprocal relationships between ... -
Ex vivo and in vitro methods as a platform for studying anthropogenic effects on marine mammals: four challenges and how to meet them
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine mammals are integral to global biodiversity and marine health through their roles in coastal, benthic, and pelagic ecosystems. Marine mammals face escalating threats from climate change, pollution, and human activities, ... -
Spatially Heterogeneous Responses of Planktonic Foraminiferal Assemblages Over 700,000 Years of Climate Change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aim To determine the degree to which assemblages of planktonic foraminifera track thermal conditions. Location The world's oceans. Time Period The last 700,000 years of glacial–interglacial cycles. Major Taxa ... -
Freshwater Biogeochemical Hotspots: High Primary Production and Ecosystem Respiration in Shallow Waterbodies
