Gastrointestinal carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a general adult population: a cross-sectional study of risk factors and bacterial genomic diversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading public health threat and gastrointestinal carriage is an established risk factor for subsequent infections during hospitalization. Our study contributes new knowledge ... -
Gaussian mixture models reveal highly diverse targeting tactics in a coastal fishing fleet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fishermen make repeated choices with respect to when, where, and how to catch their target species. While these targeting tactics—and the factors shaping them—are known to fishers and some experts, knowledge about them is ... -
Gelatinous zooplankton in western Norwegian fjords. Ecology, systematics and comparisons with adjacent waters
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-05-16)Gelatinous zooplankters, also known as jellies, are ubiquitous in the marine pelagic. Medusae, siphonophores and ctenophores are voracious predators that can, when abundant, have significant structuring effects on the ... -
Gender and early career status: variables of participation at an international marine science conference
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Conference participation is an important part of academic practice and contributes to building scientific careers. Investigating demographic differences in conference participation may reveal factors contributing to the ... -
Gender gaps in the performance of Norwegian biology students: the roles of test anxiety and science confidence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Understanding student motivational factors such as test anxiety and science confidence is important for increasing retention in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), especially for underrepresented ... -
Gene expression analyses of immune responses in Atlantic salmon during early stages of infection by salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) revealed bi-phasic responses coinciding with the copepod-chalimus transition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-07)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer), an ectoparasitic copepod with a complex life cycle causes significant losses in salmon aquaculture. Pesticide treatments against the parasite raise environmental concerns ... -
Gene Expression and Phenotypic Assessment of Egg Quality across Developmental Stages of Atlantic Cod throughout the Spawning Season
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Egg quality in fishes is commonly determined by fertilisation success and cleavage patterns as a phenotypic outcome of underlying regulatory mechanisms. Although these phenotypic estimators of egg quality are useful in ... -
Gene expression in Atlantic salmon skin in response to infection with the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis, cortisol implant, and their combination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-05)Background: The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod that causes major economic losses in the aquaculture industry of Atlantic salmon. This host displays a high level of susceptibility to lice which can be accounted ... -
The generalization of Gulland’s method: How to estimate maturity ogives when juvenile data are missing while spawner demography is known
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The proportions of mature individuals at age or length, collectively known as the maturity ogive, are a key population characteristic and serve as critical input to age-disaggregated stock assessments. John Gulland showed ... -
Generating environmental sampling and testing data for micro- and nanoplastics for use in life cycle impact assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor ... -
Genetic analysis of goldsinny wrasse reveals evolutionary insights into population connectivity and potentialevidence of inadverent translocationvia aquaculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The salmon industry is heavily dependent on wrasse for delousing infected fish. The goldsinny wrasse is numerically the most important, and each year, millions are harvested from the wild and transported large distances ... -
Genetic analysis redraws the management boundaries for the European sprat
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Sustainable fisheries management requires detailed knowledge of population genetic structure. The European sprat is an important commercial fish distributed from Morocco to the Arctic circle, Baltic, Mediterranean, and ... -
The genetic basis for ecological adaptation of the Atlantic herring revealed by genome sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05-03)Ecological adaptation is of major relevance to speciation and sustainable population management, but the underlying genetic factors are typically hard to study in natural populations due to genetic differentiation caused ... -
Genetic connectivity from the Arctic to the Antarctic: Sclerolinum contortum and Nicomache lokii (Annelida) are both widespread in reducing environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-19)The paradigm of large geographic ranges in the deep sea has been challenged by genetic studies, which often reveal putatively widespread species to be several taxa with more restricted ranges. Recently, a phylogeographic ... -
Genetic differentiation and plasticity interact along temperature and precipitation gradients to determine plant performance under climate change
(Journal article, 2017-09)1. Understanding species' abilities to cope with changing climate is a key prerequisite for predicting the future fates of species and ecosystems. Despite considerable research on species responses to changing climate, ... -
Genetic diversification in the Tropical Western Atlantic Ocean: Phylogeography of the gastropod Bulla occidentalis
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The region under study is the Tropical Western Atlantic (TWA) which includes the Caribbean Sea with adjacent coastlines, the Gulf of Mexico, Bermuda and the coast of South America down to the tropical/temperate transitional ... -
Genetic diversity of Newcastle disease virus in Pakistan: a countrywide perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-30)Background: Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most deadly diseases of poultry around the globe. The disease is endemic in Pakistan and recurrent outbreaks are being reported regularly in wild captive, rural and commercial ... -
