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 ... -
Comparative genomics of Fervidobacterium: a new phylogenomic landscape of these wide-spread thermophilic anaerobes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Fervidobacterium is a genus of thermophilic anaerobic Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermotogota. They can grow through fermentation on a wide range of sugars and protein-rich ... -
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 ... -
Engaging participatory mapping for co-management and spatial depiction of nature’s contributions to people in the Portuguese biosphere reserves
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (BRs) are pivotal for studying and fostering sustainable interactions between people and nature. In this study, a public participatory geographical information system (PPGIS) approach was employed ... -
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 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 ... -
Beyond the mosaic model of brain evolution: Rearing environment defines local and global plasticity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Comparative animal studies have identified a trend toward a more global structural organization as brains become larger, suggesting that brain regions grow in sync as predicted by the concerted model of brain evolution. ... -
Operationalizing pathway diversity in a mosaic landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Understanding and building resilience is critical to responding to the deepening polycrisis. Pathway diversity is a promising approach to resilience that combines individual and systems perspectives, but so far has only ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
