The Response of Heterotrophic Prokaryote and Viral Communities to Labile Organic Carbon Inputs Is Controlled by the Predator Food Chain Structure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-23)Factors controlling the community composition of marine heterotrophic prokaryotes include organic-C, mineral nutrients, predation, and viral lysis. Two mesocosm experiments, performed at an Arctic location and bottom-up ... -
Response of Methanogens in Arctic Sediments to Temperature and Methanogenic Substrate Availability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-17)Although cold environments are major contributors to global biogeochemical cycles, comparatively little is known about their microbial community function, structure, and limits of activity. In this study a microcosm based ... -
Response to comment on “Dispersal limitations matter for microbial morphospecies”
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007)Pither argues that the relationship we found between regional species-richness maxima and modal lake-pH is expected because both values are constrained by the regional pH range and therefore cannot be interpreted as a ... -
Response: Demography affects spawning location in Northeast Arctic cod, but what affects demography?
(Journal article, 2015-06-19) -
Responses of Free-Living Planktonic Bacterial Communities to Experimental Acidification and Warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Climate change driven by human activities encompasses the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and sea-surface temperature. Little is known regarding the synergistic effects of these phenomena on bacterial communities ... -
Responses of tundra plants to experimental warming : meta-analysis of the international tundra experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) is a collaborative, multisite experiment using a common temperature manipulation to examine variability in species response across climatic and geographic gradients of tundra ... -
Resurrection of genus Phocanema Myers, 1959, as a genus independent from Pseudoterranova Mozgovoĭ, 1953, for nematode species (Anisakidae) parasitic in pinnipeds and cetaceans, respectively
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Species of the genus Pseudoterranova, infect kogiid cetaceans and pinnipeds. However, there is mounting molecular evidence that those from cetaceans and pinnipeds are not congeneric. Here, we provide further evidence of ... -
Reversals in Temperature-Precipitation Correlations in the Northern Hemisphere Extratropics During the Holocene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Future precipitation levels remain uncertain because climate models have struggled to reproduce observed variations in temperature-precipitation correlations. Our analyses of Holocene proxy-based temperature-precipitation ... -
Reversible mutations in gliding motility and virulence genes: A flexible and efficient phage defence mechanism in Flavobacterium psychrophilum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Flavobacteria are among the most important pathogens in freshwater salmonid aquaculture worldwide. Due to concerns regarding development of antibiotic resistance, phage therapy has been proposed as a solution to decrease ... -
Review and test of reproducibility of subdecadal resolution palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from microfossil assemblages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Very high, even annual, resolution quantitative palaeoenvironmental reconstructions have been generated from microfossil assemblage data using transfer functions. Evidence of the utility of some of these reconstructions ... -
Review of ecosystem models of fjords; new insights of relevance to fisheries management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Fjords on the west coast of Norway contain small ecosystems that have similar physical and biological processes as large oceanic ecosystems. Hence, they are ideal experimental facilities. However, ecosystems are complex ... -
A review of reproduction in the seaweed genus Fucus (Ochrophyta, Fucales): Background for renewed consideration as a model organism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The genus Fucus dominates the intertidal and shallow subtidal rocky reefs of the North Atlantic and also is commonly found in the intertidal of the North Pacific. It likely diversified 12.2-2.7 mya into two genetically ... -
Review of the Tanzanian prawn Fishery
(Master thesis, 2011-05-30)A review of the prawn fishery of Tanzania from its development in early 1980's to closure in 2008 has been performed based on three major data sets; industrial prawn and fish catch data from Fisheries Division, river ... -
A review of the use of microplastics in reconstructing dated sedimentary archives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Buried microplastics (plastics, <5 mm) have been documented within the sediment column of both marine and lacustrine environments. However, the number of peer-review studies published on the subject remains limited and ... -
Revision of the genus Exsuperantia Özdikmen, 2009 (Tetractinellida: Phymaraphiniidae) with description of a new species from the Atlantic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Phymaraphiniidae Schrammen 1924 (Porifera: Astrophorina) is a family of lithistid demosponges that has received little attention in the past decades. The systematic problems within this family have not been addressed for ... -
Rhythmic Clock Gene Expression in Atlantic Salmon Parr Brain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To better understand the complexity of clock genes in salmonids, a taxon with an additional whole genome duplication, an analysis was performed to identify and classify gene family members (clock, arntl, period, cryptochrome, ... -
The rise and fall of forests

RNA interference mediated knockdown of the KDEL receptor and COPB2 inhibits digestion and reproduction in the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04)Retrograde transport of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi is an essential part of the secretory pathway that all newly synthesised secreted and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells undergo. The aim of ... -
RNAi mediated myosuppressin deficiency affects muscle development and survival in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)Muscle activity is regulated by stimulatory and inhibitory neuropeptides allowing for contraction and relaxation. In Arthropods, one of the important myoinhibitors is Myosuppressin, belonging to FMRFamide-like peptides, ... -
