Ecdysteroid-dependent molting in tardigrades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Although molting is a defining feature of the most species-rich animal taxa—the Ecdysozoa, including arthropods, tardigrades, nematodes, and others1,2—its evolutionary background remains enigmatic. In pancrustaceans, such ... -
BOATSv2: New ecological and economic features improve simulations of high seas catch and effort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Climate change and industrial fishing are having profound effects on marine ecosystems. Numerical models of fish communities and their interaction with fishing can help assess the biogeochemical and socioeconomic dynamics ... -
From aquaculture sludge to microalgae : Experimental analysis and value chain assessment
(Doctoral thesis, 2025-05-08)Denne studien evaluerer hvorvidt mikroalgedyrking og anaerob nedbrytning er biologisk og teknologisk egnet som avfallsbehandling av fiskeslam fra akvakultur. Videre ble denne verdikjedens miljøkonsekvenser, grunnleggende ... -
Ten simple rules to bridge ecology and palaeoecology by publishing outside palaeoecological journals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Owing to its specialised methodology, palaeoecology is often regarded as a separate field from ecology, even though it is essential for understanding long-term ecological processes that have shaped the ecosystems that ... -
Little seasonal variation of mercury concentrations and biomagnification in an Arctic pelagic food web
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Despite numerous studies on mercury in Arctic biota, data from inaccessible, ice-covered regions − especially during the polar night and late winter − remain scarce. This scarcity results in poor understanding of the ... -
Long-term nitrogen deposition reduces the diversity of nitrogen-fixing plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Biological nitrogen fixation is a fundamental part of ecosystem functioning. Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition and climate change may, however, limit the competitive advantage of nitrogen-fixing plants, leading to reduced ... -
Geohistorical insights into marine functional connectivity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine functional connectivity (MFC) refers to the flows of organic matter, genes, and energy that are caused by the active and passive movements of marine organisms. Occurring at various temporal and spatial scales, MFC ... -
The immune system in Parkinson's disease: what we know so far
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Parkinson's disease is characterized neuropathologically by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral midbrain, the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates in neurons and chronic neuroinflammation. In ... -
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 ... -
Impact of Krill Meal on Enhancing Skin Mucosal Health and Reducing Sea Lice in Atlantic Salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The salmon industry’s challenges with skin health and sea lice emphasize the necessity for fish-sensitive measures like functional nutrition to boost skin health and fish welfare. The present study investigated the efficacy ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Freshwater Biogeochemical Hotspots: High Primary Production and Ecosystem Respiration in Shallow Waterbodies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ponds, wetlands, and shallow lakes (collectively “shallow waterbodies”) are among the most biogeochemically active freshwater ecosystems. Measurements of gross primary production (GPP), respiration (R), and net ecosystem ... -
Presence of active AKT in the nucleus upon adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)AKT is an essential player in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway. Although the mechanisms of its action are well understood at the plasma membrane, AKT can also be found in the nucleus. In adipocytes, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The influence of mixing on seasonal carbon dioxide and methane fluxes in ponds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Inland waters are important sources of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Ponds have amongst the highest CO2 and CH4 fluxes of all aquatic ecosystems, yet seasonal variation in fluxes remain poorly ... -
The Effect of Stress on the Skin Welfare of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus Linnaeus, 1758) Broodstock
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The aim of this study was to build on the work already conducted in optimising lumpfish broodstock temperature, photoperiod and nutrition by providing vital information on the stress relationship between mucosal barrier ...
