Judging a salmon by its spots: Environmental variation is the primary determinant of spot patterns in Salmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-12)Background. In fish, morphological colour changes occur from variations in pigment concentrations and in the morphology, density, and distribution of chromatophores in the skin. However, the underlying mechanisms remain ... -
July mean temperature and annual precipitation trends during the Holocene in the Fennoscandian tree-line area: pollen-based climate reconstructions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)July mean temperature and annual precipipation during the last 9900 cal. yr BP were recon structed from pollen assemblages preserved in a sediment core from northern Finland. Quantitative recon structions were performed ... -
Kanamycin resistens i det naturlige miljø i Sør-vest Norge; naturlig forekomst av aminoglykosid fosfotransferase (3) benyttet som markører i genmodifiserte organismer (GMO)
