NAA10 mutation causing a novel intellectual disability syndrome with Long QT due to N-terminal acetyltransferase impairment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-02)We report two brothers from a non-consanguineous Irish family presenting with a novel syndrome characterised by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, scoliosis and long QT. Their mother has a milder phenotype including ... -
NatF Contributes to an Evolutionary Shift in Protein N-Terminal Acetylation and Is Important for Normal Chromosome Segregation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-07)N-terminal acetylation (N-Ac) is a highly abundant eukaryotic protein modification. Proteomics revealed a significant increase in the occurrence of N-Ac from lower to higher eukaryotes, but evidence explaining the underlying ... -
National Red Lists in Fennoscandian Conservation: how spatio-temporal dynamics of red-listed species and geographical scale matter for site selection and conservation priorities
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-25)The Red List of threatened species is among the best tools available for management and conservation of species. In this thesis, I study nationally red-listed species at various geographical scales from fine-scale forest ... -
Natural and cultural heritage in mountain landscapes: towards an integrated valuation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Mountain areas of Europe have been managed by humans for a long time, leading to a prevalence of semi-natural habitats in mountain landscapes today. These landscapes contain both natural and cultural heritage; however, ... -
Natural mortality: Its ecology, how it shapes fish life histories, and why it may be increased by fishing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)A stronger focus on natural mortality may be required to better understand contemporary changes in fish life histories and behaviour and their responses to anthropogenic drivers. Firstly, natural mortality is the selection ... -
Nature's View of Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-21)Ionotrope glutamatreseptorer (iGluR-er) er kationkanaler som spenner over cellemembranen og som formidler rask eksitatorisk overføring i det mammale sentralnervesystemet. De aktiveres ved binding av nevrotransmittere, for ... -
The near-collapse of the Faroe Plateau cod (Gadus morhua L.) stock in the 1990s: The effect of food availability on spatial distribution, recruitment, natural production and fishery
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-10-02)1. This thesis aims to explain why there was a near-collapse of the Faroe Plateau cod stock in the 1990s and why it recovered so quickly. Contrary to what local people on the Faroes believe, these fluctuations were not ... -
Nearshore fish aggregating devices show positive outcomes for sustainable fisheries development in Timor-Leste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-13)Capture fisheries in small island developing states (SIDS) have the capacity to increase access to vital micronutrient-rich food to tackle malnutrition, but when fishers are restricted to nearshore habitats by limited ... -
Need for harmonized long-term multi-lake monitoring of African Great Lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)To ensure the long-term sustainable use of African Great Lakes (AGL), and to better understand the functioning of these ecosystems, authorities, managers and scientists need regularly collected scientific data and information ... -
Nefrokalsinose: Utvikling av sykdom under høyt og lavt CO2 nivå med fokus på histopatologiske forandringer og mineralnivå i nyren
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Denne masteroppgaven er en del av et større prosjekt som blant annet studerer årsakene nefrokalsinose, (NK) hos oppdrettslaks (STONEHUNT, FHF#901588). Hvilke faktorer som ligger til grunn for utvikling av nefrokalsinose, ... -
Negative association of sea lice from fish farms on recreational fishing catches of Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The question of whether and to what extent sea-louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations from salmon farms influence wild Atlantic salmon survival has been subject to sustained scientific debate and political controversy. ... -
Negative impacts of the sea lice prophylactic emamectin benzoate on the survival of hatchery released salmon smolts in rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a prophylactic pharmaceutical used to protect Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts migrating out of rivers and into the ocean against sea lice parasites. Randomized control trials comparing the ... -
Nemertean, Brachiopod, and Phoronid Neuropeptidomics Reveals Ancestral Spiralian Signaling Systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Neuropeptides are diverse signaling molecules in animals commonly acting through G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Neuropeptides and their receptors underwent extensive diversification in bilaterians and the relationships ... -
Nephrocalcinosis and Physiological Perturbations in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)This master's thesis extends the PREVENTIVE project, funded by CtrlAqua (Center for Research-Based Innovation in Closed-Containment Aquaculture), by focusing on the pathology and physiological disturbances associated with ... -

Nesting synchrony and clutch size in migratory birds: Capital versus income breeding determines responses to variable spring onset
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Synchronous reproduction of birds has often been explained by benefits from nesting together, but this concept fails to explain observed intraspecific variation and climate-mediated changes of breeding synchrony. Here, we ... -
Net cleaning impacts Atlantic salmon gill health through microbiome dysbiosis
(Journal article, 2023)Net biofouling has a significant impact for the global salmon industry in the seawater grow-out stage in terms of its management. Current mitigation strategies occur primarily through the regular removal of biofouling using ... -
Neural activation in photosensitive brain regions of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) after light stimulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Photoreceptive inputs to the teleost brain are perceived as image of the visual world and as photo-modulation of neuroendocrine and neuronal signals. The retina and pineal organ are major receptive organs with projections ... -
A Neural Network-Based Analysis of the Seasonal Variability of Surface Total Alkalinity on the East China Sea Shelf
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Total alkalinity (AT) is an important variable in the regulation of the seawater carbonate chemistry system, determining the capacity to buffer changes in pH. In the coastal oceans, carbonate system dynamics are controlled ... -
