The development of early pioneer neurons in the annelid Malacoceros fuliginosus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Nervous system development is an interplay of many processes: the formation of individual neurons, which depends on whole-body and local patterning processes, and the coordinated growth of neurites and synapse ... -
New insights into the early mechanisms of epileptogenesis in a zebrafish model of Dravet syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Objective: To pinpoint the earliest cellular defects underlying seizure onset (epileptogenic period) during perinatal brain development in a new zebrafish model of Dravet syndrome (DS) and to investigate potential ... -
Propensity for risk in reproductive strategy affects susceptibility to anthropogenic disturbance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Animals initiate, interrupt, or invest resources in reproduction in light of their physiology and the environment. The energetic risks entailed in an individual’s reproductive strategy can influence the ability to cope ... -
Plasma-derived exosome-like vesicles are enriched in lyso-phospholipids and pass the blood-brain barrier
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Exosomes are vesicles involved in intercellular communication. Their membrane structure and core content is largely dependent on the cell of origin. Exosomes have been investigated both for their biological roles and their ... -
Evaluation of a eukaryote phylogenetic microarray for environmental monitoring of marine sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Increased exploitation of resources in sensitive marine ecosystems emphasizes the importance of knowledge regarding ecological impacts. However, current bio-monitoring practices are limited in terms of target-organisms and ... -
Structure and functioning of four North Atlantic ecosystems - A comparative study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The epi- and mesopelagic ecosystems of four sub-polar ocean basins, the Labrador, Irminger, Iceland and Norwegian seas, were surveyed during two legs from Bergen, Norway, to Nuuk, Greenland, and back to Bergen. The survey ... -
Density-dependent consequences of size-selective induced life-history changes to population fitness in medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)There is an increasing concern about the potential for size-selective harvest to impair population persistence. Yet little is known about the relative contribution of the evolutionary (shifts in life history) and demographic ... -
Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at ... -
Heads and tails: The notochord develops differently in the cranium and caudal fin of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar, L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)While it is well known that the notochord of bony fishes changes over developmental time, less is known about how it varies across different body regions. In the development of the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., cranial ... -
The Day-to-day Supply Responses of a Limited-entry Mixed Fishery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Small-scale fishers’ short-run supply decisions are understudied, often because of data limitations. We utilize a unique dataset of daily catches and prices from a mixed-species trawl fishery in Taiwan, characterized by ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution: distribution of pyrethroid resistance in the salmon louse throughout the North Atlantic in the years 2000–2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The parasitic salmon louse, and its documented resistance to chemotherapeutants, represents the most persistent environmental challenge to global salmonid aquaculture. We used a genetic marker associated with pyrethroid ... -
Stoichiometric consequences of size-selective mortality: An experimental test using the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-01)The determinants of intraspecific stoichiometric variation remain difficult to elucidate due to their multiple ori- gins (e.g. genetic vs. environmental) and potential interactive effects. We evaluated whether two size-selected ... -
Body size adaptions under climate change: Zooplankton community more important than temperature or food abundance in model of a zooplanktivorous fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)One of the most well-studied biogeographic patterns is increasing body size with latitude, and recent body size declines in marine and terrestrial organisms have received growing attention. Spatial and temporal variation ... -
The transcriptomic response of adult salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) to reduced salinity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are marine parasitic copepods living on salmonids and are challenging for salmon aquaculture. One of several treatment methods is the application of freshwater to the fish which can ... -
Global phylogeography suggests extensive eucosmopolitanism in Mesopelagic Fishes (Maurolicus: Sternoptychidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fishes in the mesopelagic zone (200–1000 m) have recently been highlighted for potential exploitation. Here we assess global phylogeography in Maurolicus, the Pearlsides, an ecologically important group. We obtained new ... -
Genome wide analysis reveals genetic divergence between Goldsinny wrasse populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Marine fish populations are often characterized by high levels of gene flow and correspondingly low genetic divergence. This presents a challenge to define management units. Goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus ... -
Vertical distribution and migration of mesopelagic scatterers in four north Atlantic basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We studied vertical distribution and diel vertical migration (DVM) behaviour of mesopelagic acoustic scattering layers in relation to environmental conditions in the Norwegian Sea, the Iceland Sea, the Irminger Sea, and ... -
Reconstruction of the birth of a male sex chromosome present in Atlantic herring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The mechanisms underlying sex determination are astonishingly plastic. Particularly the triggers for the molecular machinery, which recalls either the male or female developmental program, are highly variable and have ... -
Dynamic morphometrics of mucous cells reveal the minimal impact of therapeutic doses of peracetic acid on Atlantic salmon gill health
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mucous cells, the microscopic structural hallmark of mucosal surfaces, are highly responsive to environmental changes. Here we report how the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) responded to peracetic acid (PAA), a ... -
Reproducing the virus-to-copepod link in Arctic mesocosms using host fitness optimization.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)By shunting material out of the predatory pathway toward detritus and dissolved material, viruses are believed to have an important impact on biogeochemical functions of the pelagic microbial food web. To include viruses ...
