Of tests, trochs, shells, and spicules: Development of the basal mollusk Wirenia argentea (Solenogastres) and its bearing on the evolution of trochozoan larval key features
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-01-26)Background The phylogenetic status of the aplacophoran mollusk taxon Solenogastres (Neomeniomorpha) is controversially discussed. Some authors propose the clade to represent the most basal branch within Mollusca, while ... -
OikoBase: a genomics and developmental transcriptomics resource for the urochordate Oikopleura dioica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-26)We report the development of OikoBase (http://oikoarrays.biology.uiowa.edu/Oiko/), a tiling array-based genome browser resource for Oikopleura dioica, a metazoan belonging to the urochordates, the closest extant group to ... -
The Okavango Delta: Fisheries in a fluctuating floodplain system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems globally characterized by dynamic interactions between terrestrial and aquatic habitats at different scales. These systems support valuable floodplain fisheries that are a ... -
On a hexactinellid sponge aggregation at the Great Meteor seamount (North-east Atlantic)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11)Hexactinellids or glass sponges constitute a predominantly deep-sea sponge group typically occurring at bathyal and abyssal depths. Some species form dense populations along the European and African continental slope but ... -
On giant shoulders: how a seamount affects the microbialcommunity composition of seawater and sponges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Seamounts represent ideal systems to study the influence and interdependency of environmental gradients at a single geographic location. These topographic features represent a prominent habitat for various forms of life, ... -
On the chemistry, toxicology and genetics of the cyanobacterial toxins, microcystin, nodularin, saxitoxin and cylindrospermopsin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-10)The cyanobacteria or “blue-green algae”, as they are commonly termed, comprise a diverse group of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments, and display incredible ... -
On the ecology, toxicology, and phylogeny of cyanobacteria in Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-06-04)One of the major threats to Lake Victoria is eutrophication and an increasing proliferation of cyanobacteria. Many cyanobacterial species have the ability to produce toxic compounds (cyanotoxins), which can cause considerable ... -
On the morphology of the domesticated dog in medieval Norway.
(Master thesis, 2015-12-12)There is a large amount of bones at the Osteological collection in the Natural History Museum in Bergen, from Norwegian urban settlements from the middle ages. A large amount of bones from excavations all over Norway have ... -
One hundred years of Quaternary pollen analysis 1916-2016
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)We review the history of Quaternary pollen analysis from 1916 to the present-day, with particular emphasis on methodological and conceptual developments and on the early pioneers of the subject. The history is divided into ... -
Ontogenetic Change in Behavioral Responses to Structural Enrichment From Fry to Parr in Juvenile Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Enrichment is widely used as a tool for studying how changes in environment affect animal behavior. Here, we report an experimental study investigating if behaviors shaped by stimuli from environmental enrichment depending ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-06)The distribution of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in northern Norwegian waters is expanding eastward and northward in the Barents Sea and along western Svalbard. In the Arctic fjords of Svalbard, cod has become abundant, but ... -
Ontogenetic niche shifts in a locally endangered tree species (Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata) in a disturbed forest in Northern Ethiopia: Implications for conservation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding the responses of different ontogenetic stages to environmental and human disturbance factors is essential for developing efficient conservation strategies for endangered plant species. We examined how three ... -
The ontogeny and brain distribution dynamics of the appetite regulators NPY, CART and pOX in larval Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-21)Similar to many marine teleost species, Atlantic cod undergo remarkable physiological changes during the early life stages with concurrent and profound changes in feeding biology and ecology. In contrast to the digestive ... -
