MLVA genotyping of Moritella viscosa reveals serial emergence of novel, host-specific clonal complexes in Norwegian salmon farming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A Multi-Locus Variable number of tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) genotyping scheme was developed for the epidemiological study of Moritella viscosa, which causes ‘winter ulcer’ predominantly in sea-reared Atlantic salmon ... -
Mn/Fe reduction in sandy soil during degradation of de-icing chemical: Respiration kinetics and prokaryotic community composition
(Master thesis, 2017-08-29)At Oslo airport, Gardermoen, Norway, large quantities of propylene glycol (PG) are used as de-icing fluid during winter, causing high loads of this chemical to infiltrate in surrounding soil during snow melt and increasing ... -
A model for hydrophobic protrusions on peripheral membrane proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-26)With remarkable spatial and temporal specificities, peripheral membrane proteins bind to biological membranes. They do this without compromising solubility of the protein, and their binding sites are not easily distinguished. ... -
Model of mesopelagic fish predation on eggs and larvae shows benefits of tuna spawning under full moon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Most mesopelagic fish are small planktivores that migrate up at nightfall to feed in the safety of darkness and descend to depth at dawn to escape visual predators. However, the trophic roles can reverse since mesopelagic ... -
Model-informed classification of broadband acoustic backscatter from zooplankton in an in situ mesocosm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Classification of zooplankton to species with broadband echosounder data could increase the taxonomic resolution of acoustic surveys and reduce the dependence on net and trawl samples for ‘ground truthing’. Supervised ... -
Modeling Coupled Nonlinear Multilayered Dynamics: Cyber Attack and Disruption of an Electric Grid
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We study the consequences of cyberattack, defense, and recovery in systems for which a physical system is enabled by a cyber system by extending previous applications of models from the population biology of disease to the ... -
Modeling early life history of cod
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-03-02)Newly hatched Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae face an uncertain future when they first enter their marine pelagic habitat. Prior to complete yolk absorption, the larvae will have to find food. This process includes the ... -
Modeling fitness changes in wild Atlantic salmon populations faced by spawning intrusion of domesticated escapees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07)Genetic interaction between domesticated escapees and wild conspecifics represents a persistent challenge to an environmentally sustainable Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry. We used a recently developed eco‐genetic ... -
Modelling and expression of the extracellular domain of the human guanylyl cyclase C receptor
(Master thesis, 2011-09-14)The human guanylyl cyclase C receptor is the target for the heat-stable entero- toxin (STa) from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, which is responsible for more than 200 million episodes of diarrhea and 300,000 deaths per ... -
Modelling and interpreting fish bioenergetics: a role for behaviour, life-history traits and survival trade-offs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Bioenergetics is used as the mechanistic foundation of many models of fishes. As the context of a model gradually extends beyond pure bioenergetics to include behaviour, life-history traits and function and performance of ... -
Modelling annual mass balances of eight Scandinavian glaciers using statistical models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-15)Mass balances of Scandinavian glaciers are mainly influenced by winter precipitation and summer temperature. We used simple statistical models to assess the relative importance of summer temperature and winter precipitation ... -
Modelling approaches for capturing plankton diversity (MODIV), their societal applications and data needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ecosystem models need to capture biodiversity, because it is a fundamental determinant of food web dynamics and consequently of the cycling of energy and matter in ecosystems. In oceanic food webs, the plankton compartment ... -
Modelling fish growth under hormonal regulation as a factor in Pace of Life
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-29)This thesis is written with the aim to increase the holistic understanding of growth in fish. As stated by Tinbergen (1963), to fully understand a behaviour or trait one needs to understand several perspectives of it. Those ... -
Modelling sea lice control by lumpfish on Atlantic salmon farms: Interactions with mate limitation, temperature and treatment rules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Atlantic salmon farming is one of the largest aquaculture sectors in the world. A major impact on farm economics, fish welfare and, potentially, nearby wild salmonid populations, is the sea louse ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus ... -
Moderate nucleotide diversity in the Atlantic herring is associated with a low mutation rate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-30)The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth but its nucleotide diversity is moderate (π = 0.3%), only three-fold higher than in human. Here, we present a pedigree-based estimation of the mutation ... -
Modern cities modelled as “super-cells” rather than multicellular organisms: Implications for industry, goods and services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The structure and “metabolism” (movement and conversion of goods and energy) of urban areas has caused cities to be identified as “super-organisms”, placed between ecosystems and the biosphere, in the hierarchy of living ... -
Modern genomic tools reveal the structural and cellular diversity of cnidarian nervous systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Cnidarians shared a common ancestor with bilaterians more than 600 million years ago. This sister group relationship gives them an informative phylogenetic position for understanding the fascinating morphological and ... -
Modern pollen–vegetation relationships in traditionally mown and unmanaged boreal rich-fen communities in central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)Knowledge of the relationship between vegetation and modern pollen deposition is necessary to improve the interpretation of fossil pollen samples. We compared the cover of plant species and the modern pollen deposition in ... -
Modulation of neuro-dopamine homeostasis in juvenile female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and perfluoroalkyl substances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The dopaminergic effect of PAH and PFAS mixtures, prepared according to environmentally relevant concentrations, has been studied in juvenile female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzothiophene, fluorene, ... -
Modulation of nutrient composition of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae by feeding seaweed-enriched media
(Journal article, 2017-08-24)Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae are a promising source of protein and lipid for animal feeds. The nutritional composition of the BSF larvae depend partly on the composition of the feeding medium. The BSF lipid ...
