Distribution and autecology of chrysophyte cysts from high Arctic Svalbard lakes: preliminary evidence of recent environmental change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Chrysophycean stomatocyst assemblages were analysed from the sediments of 17 lakes and ponds from Svalbard as one component of a multi-proxy investigation of recent environmental change in the high Arctic. Sediment cores ... -
Distribution and spread of the invasive slug Arion vulgaris Moquin - Tandon in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The present distribution of the invasive slug Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon was studied in Norway. This important pest species has spread to many parts of Europe during the last decades, inflicting damage to agriculture and ... -
Distribution and suitable habitat of the cold-water corals Lophelia pertusa, Paragorgia arborea, and Primnoa resedaeformis on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cold-water corals are habitat-forming species that are also classified as indicators of vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) due to the threat of various anthropogenic impacts, e.g., fisheries and oil/mineral exploration. ... -
The Distribution of IgT mRNA+ Cells in the Gut of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The newly discovered IgT+ B cell is thought to play a dominant role in mucosal immunity, but limited studies have examined its distribution in fish species, hindering our understanding of its function. This study investigated ... -
Distribution of Kudoa thyrsites (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) myoliquefactive stages in Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) inferred from qPCR and histology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) that infects the skeletal and cardiac muscle of Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus). Heavy infections are associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction ... -
Distribution of marine, benthic, shell bearing gastropods along the Norwegian coast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Based on literature data and my extensive material from along the coast, the distribution of shell bearing marine, benthic gastropods known from Norwegian waters, is outlined. The geographic area covered goes down to c. ... -
Distribution of mesopelagic scattering layer (MSL) in relation to the physical environment in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Mesopelagic fish are considered a major group of fishes in the global oceans and are typically observed in the water as acoustic scattering layers. Their biomass has recently been suggested to be severely underestimated, ... -
The distribution of Skagerrak coastal cod (Gadus morhua) in relation to oxygen depletion, temperature and salinity, studied by acoustic telemetry in the Tvedestrand fjord in south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2013-06-02)Decreased oxygen levels in coastal waters due to human activities are receiving increased attention as a potential threat to marine biodiversity and harvestable resources. Hydrographic measurements and hydroacoustic single ... -
Diurnal temperature range as a key predictor of plants’ elevation ranges globally
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A prominent hypothesis in ecology is that larger species ranges are found in more variable climates because species develop broader environmental tolerances, predicting a positive range size-temperature variability ... -
Dive to survive: effects of capture depth on barotrauma and post-release survival of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in recreational fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-04)Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caught in recreational fisheries are commonly released, often with barotrauma after rapid decompression. Mouth-hooked, non-bleeding cod kept in a floating net pen showed mortalities ≥40% when ... -
Diversification in evolutionary arenas—Assessment and synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a key issue in evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography. Evolutionary rates are the net result of interacting processes summarized under concepts ... -
Diversified Farming Systems: Impacts and Adaptive Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States, Norway and China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The COVID-19 pandemic fully exposed the vulnerability of the global agri-food system to shocks and stresses, highlighting the need for transformation and action to make it more resilient and inclusive. This paper offers a ... -
Diversity and metabolic energy in bacteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Why are some groups of bacteria more diverse than others? We hypothesize that the metabolic energy available to a bacterial functional group (a biogeochemical group or ‘guild’) has a role in such a group’s taxonomic ... -
Diversity of dsDNA marine viral groups during winter in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2015-10-22)Extreme changes in light and cold water temperatures throughout the annual cycle in the Arctic Ocean create a unique habitat that selects for particular microorganisms - including marine viruses. This study investigated ... -
Diversity, distribution and phylogenetic affinities of deep-sea lithistids (Porifera, Heteroscleromorpha) of the Azores archipelago
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)Lithistid sponges are globally distributed in temperate and sub-tropical areas, constituting an important component of deep-sea benthic communities where they form structurally complex and vulnerable marine ecosystems ... -
Diversity, stratification and in situ metabolism of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea in Nyegga cold seeps
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-06-08)Anaerobic methanotrophic Archaea (ANME) have considerable importance in a global environmental context as they are considered the major biological sink for methane due to their ubiquitous distribution in anaerobic ... -
DNA and scale reading to identify repeat spawning in Atlantic salmon: Unique insights into patterns of iteroparity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Iteroparity represents an important but often overlooked component of life history in anadromous Atlantic salmon. Here, we combined individual DNA profiling and scale reading to identify repeat spawners among ~8000 adult ... -
