Holocene environmental and climate history of Trettetjørn, a low-alpine lake in Western Norway, based on subfossil pollen, diatoms, oribatid mites, and plant macrofossils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)Holocene lake and catchment environmental history and regional climate are reconstructed from lake sediments at Trettetjørn, a small lake situated close to the present-day treeline in western Norway. Sediments began to ... -
Holocene fire and vegetation dynamics in the Central Pyrenees (Spain)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fire-vegetation relationships are critical to understand transient mountain ecosystems and their long-term landscape dynamics, which is essential for alpine forest conservation. In this paper we aim to (1) reconstruct the ... -
Holocene forest development and tree-limit changes in Ridalen, in the Røros mountains
(Master thesis, 2010-07-02)Holocene forest development, tree migration and tree-line fluctuations have been reconstructed from peat sequences, derived from two study localities situated along an altitudinal transect between the north boreal and low ... -
Holocene mean July temperature and winter precipitation in western Norway inferred from palynological and glaciological lake-sediment proxies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005)Reconstructions of mean July temperature (Tjul) and winter precipitation (Pw) for the last 11/500 years on the Folgefonna peninsula are presented. Tjul was reconstructed using pollen-climate transfer functions and Pw was ... -
Holocene palaeoclimate reconstructions at Vanndalsvatnet, western Norway, with particular reference to the 8200 cal. yr BP event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)Analyses of organic content, magnetic susceptibility, grain size and pollen in sediments from the proglacial lake Vanndalsvatnet in western Norway provide a high-resolution terrestrial record and pollenbased quantitative ... -
Homeodomain transcription factors Six3 and Six6 have distinct protein binding characteristics
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-02-20)The goal of this study was to characterize Six3 and Six6 proteins interactions and to better understand their functions. The Six class proteins are found in a wide variety of animals ranging from primitive invertebrate ... -
Hook shedding and post-release fate of deep-hooked European eel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a commercially and recreationally important fishery target species. In the last decades, the eel has experienced dramatic stock declines and has been listed as critically endangered. ... -
Hormonal and Neuropeptide Mechanisms of Appetite Control in Atlantic Salmon
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-06-25) -
Hormone strategies as a key for understanding life history trade-offs in fish
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-21)Animal behaviour has fascinated humans for millennia. For studying animal behaviour, evolutionary biologists have focused primarily on their ultimate fitness causes mainly using a top-down approach. In contrast, physiologists ... -
Hormones as adaptive control systems in juvenile fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-17)Growth is an important theme in biology. Physiologists often relate growth rates to hormonal control of essential processes. Ecologists often study growth as a function of gradients or combinations of environmental factors. ... -
Host choice and fitness of anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris (Perciformes: Pomacentridae) living with host anemones (Anthozoa: Actiniaria) in captive conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In this study, we investigated the host choice of naïve Amphiprion ocellaris , a specialist, at two different stages of development (newly settling juveniles and post‐settlement juveniles). The fish were exposed to their ... -
Host gill attachment causes blood-feeding by the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) chalimus larvae and alters parasite development and transcriptome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-06)Background: Blood-feeding is a common strategy among parasitizing arthropods, including the ectoparasitic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), feeding off its salmon host’s skin and blood. Blood is rich in nutrients, ... -
Host specificity and clade dependent distribution of putative virulence genes in Moritella viscosa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Moritella viscosa is the aetiological agent of winter-ulcer disease in farmed salmonids in the North Atlantic. Previously, two major (typical and variant) genetic clades have been demonstrated within this bacterial species, ... -
Host-parasite interactions between freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) and their salmonid hosts
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-29)The freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, is an endangered bivalve which has suffered a serious decline across its Holarctic distribution. It has a complex life cycle which involves an obligate parasitic ... -
Hot Vents Beneath an Icy Ocean: The Aurora Vent Field, Gakkel Ridge, Revealed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Evidence of hydrothermal venting on the ultra-slow spreading Gakkel Ridge in the Central Arctic Ocean has been available since 2001, with first visual evidence of black smokers on the Aurora Vent Field obtained in 2014. ... -
How Honey Bee Vitellogenin Holds Lipid Cargo: A Role for the C-Terminal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-09)Vitellogenin (Vg) is a phylogenetically broad glycolipophosphoprotein. A major function of this protein is holding lipid cargo for storage and transportation. Vg has been extensively studied in honey bees (Apis mellifera) ... -
How microbial food web interactions shape the arctic ocean bacterial community revealed by size fractionation experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)In the Arctic, seasonal changes are substantial, and as a result, the marine bacterial community composition and functions differ greatly between the dark winter and light-intensive summer. While light availability is, ... -
How to obtain clear images from in-trawl cameras near the seabed? A case study from the Barents Sea demersal fishing grounds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Underwater camera systems are commonly used for monitoring fish and fishing gear behaviours. More recently, camera systems have been applied to scientific trawl surveys for improved spatial resolution and less invasive ... -
How trophic cascades and photic zone nutrient content interact to generate basin-scale differences in the microbial food web
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In linear food chains, resource and predator control produce positive and negative correlations, respectively, between biomass at adjacent trophic levels. These simple relationships become more complex in food webs that ... -
