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 ... -

Molecular analysis of the development and function of the apical organ in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-10-09)The shapes and patterns displayed across the animal kingdom exhibit great diversity, but at the same time similarities in their appearance can be observed. Scientist in the past have studied animal forms based on morphology. ... -
Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids). How often and in ... -
Molecular characterisation of key components of the mucosal immune system in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) and transcriptome analysis of responses against the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-04-17)Mucosal immunity in mammals is mediated mainly by secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), which is produced by IgA plasma cells commonly located in the lamina propria, and a transport system involving the polymeric Ig receptor ... -
Molecular characterisation of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis (Krøyer, 1837), ecdysone receptor with emphasis on functional studies of female reproduction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) is an important parasite in the salmon farming industry in the Northern Hemisphere causing annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars (US) worldwide. To ...
