Control region sequences indicate that multiple externae represent multiple infections by Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-29)The rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina carcini, is a common parasite of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in which it causes significant detrimental physical and behavioral modifications. In the vast majority of ... -
Cooperation between subcellular NAD pools in the maintenance of NAD-dependent processes
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-10-31)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is needed as a cofactor in several processes throughout the cell, and its availability is decisive for the activity of many NAD-dependent enzymes. Owing to the membrane barriers in ... -
Cooperation between the bromodomain and PHD finger of p300 in nucleosome interaction. A study of the contribution of the PHD finger
(Master thesis, 2003-08)The different cells in an organism need to know which genes to be active and which to be inactive. A central mechanism that contributes to regulate gene expression is the organisation of DNA into dense and less dense forms. ... -
Cooperative learning goes online: teaching and learning intervention in a digital environment impacts psychosocial outcomes in biology students
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Identifying evidence-based teaching and learning strategies that can ease teacher challenges and mitigate student concerns in digital settings becomes increasingly important. In this intervention study we compared the ... -
Cooperative Learning in Undergraduate STEM Education: Applications and Outcomes
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-03-14)Tiltak for å styrke opplevde psykososiale faktorer slik som tilhørighet, generiske ferdigheter og vitenskapelig selvtillit samt tiltak for å redusere ensomhet hos studenter anses som viktig av flere grunner. I møtet med ... -
Copepods enhance nutritional status, growth and development in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae – can we identify the underlying factors?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-19)The current commercial production protocols for Atlantic cod depend on enriched rotifers and Artemia during first-feeding, but development and growth remain inferior to fish fed natural zooplankton. Two experiments were ... -
CorA is a copper repressible surface-associated copper(I)-binding protein produced in Methylomicrobium album BG8
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-03)CorA is a copper repressible protein previously identified in the methanotrophic bacterium Methylomicrobium album BG8. In this work, we demonstrate that CorA is located on the cell surface and binds one copper ion per ... -
Coronal Cavities in CoMP Observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Quiescent coronal cavities can provide insight into solar magnetic fields. They are observed in the coronal emission lines in both polarized and unpolarized light. In the total linear polarization fraction (L/I), they often ... -
Correlative evidence for competition between fucus serratus and the introduced chlorophyte codium fragile subsp. fragile on the southwest coast of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The distribution of Codium fragile subsp. fragile and the native canopy-forming alga Fucusserratus was recorded at 51 sites in a 20 km long, sheltered region on the southwest coast of Norway. The purpose of the study was ... -
Creating a root architecture model: taprooted or adventitious-rooted Plantago lanceolata
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Herbaceous plants can form root systems by investing in one main taproot or many adventitious roots. While monocots have adventitious systems, eudicots can have either type in different species and even within a single ... -
CREST – Classification Resources for Environmental Sequence Tags
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-08)Sequencing of taxonomic or phylogenetic markers is becoming a fast and efficient method for studying environmental microbial communities. This has resulted in a steadily growing collection of marker sequences, most notably ... -
The crypsis hypothesis explained: a reply to Jayasuriya et al. (2015)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-18)In imbibing seeds, resumption of metabolism leads to the unavoidable release of volatile by-products that are perceived as cues by rodent seed predators. The crypsis hypothesis proposes that the primary function of a ... -
Cryptic diversity in the leptothecate genera Laodicea and Tiaropsis (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa)
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Although they are an ecologically and economically important group of animals, hydrozoans are understudied because of their difficult identification due to their small size and fragility. Hydrozoans as a group show a great ... -
Cryptic introgression: evidence that selection and plasticity mask the full phenotypic potential of domesticated Atlantic salmon in the wild
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-18)Domesticated Atlantic salmon grow much faster than wild salmon when reared together in fish tanks under farming conditions (size ratios typically 1:2–3). In contrast, domesticated salmon only display marginally higher ... -
Cultivation and genomics of extremophiles from a deep and hot North Sea oil reservoir
(Master thesis, 2014-10-02)In this study, production water from the Troll B oilfield in the North Sea has been used as a source in order to isolate and characterize new extremophilic prokaryotes. Anaerobic enrichment cultures with different carbon ... -
Current efforts on microplastic monitoring in Arctic fish and how to proceed
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this review, we investigated published data on the occurrence of microplastic in Arctic fish, and the suitability of the data and species for risk assessment and monitoring. As of 11.11.2021, we found nine studies in ... -
Cytoskeleton-mediated templating of complex cellulose-scaffolded extracellular structure and its association with oikosins in the urochordate Oikopleura
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Oriented cellulose deposition is critical to plant patterning and models suggest microtubules constrain cellulose synthase movements through the plasma membrane. Though widespread in plants, urochordates are the only animals ... -
Daily rhythms of intestinal cholecystokinin and pancreatic proteases activity in Senegalese sole juveniles with diurnal and nocturnal feeding
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The influence of diurnal and nocturnal feeding on daily rhythms of gut levels of cholecystokinin (CCK) and the activity of two key pancreatic proteases, trypsin and chymotrypsin, were examined in juveniles of Senegalese ... -
Dancing around the pole: holarctic phylogeography of the Arctic fairy shrimp Branchinecta paludosa (Anostraca, Branchiopoda)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-09)The distributional patterns of Arctic species are commonly affected by the recurring Pleistocene glaciations, which contributed to transient or permanent genetic isolation. Here we explore the phylogeography of the ... -
The Day-to-day Supply Responses of a Limited-entry Mixed Fishery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Small-scale fishers’ short-run supply decisions are understudied, often because of data limitations. We utilize a unique dataset of daily catches and prices from a mixed-species trawl fishery in Taiwan, characterized by ...
