Pacific and Atlantic Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1838) are allopatric subspecies: Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis and L. salmonis oncorhynchi subspecies novo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-14)Background: The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a parasitic copepod that infects salmonids in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Although considered as a single species, morphological and biological differences have ... -
Palaeolimnological and sedimentary responses to Holocene forest retreat in the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)A suite of analyses was performed on sediments accumulated during the last 10 700 years in Lake Spaime, a small, hydrologically open water body in the modem alpine tundra zone of the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden. ... -
Palaeolimnological responses of nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project to recent environmental changes and human impact detected by plant macrofossil, pollen, and faunal analyses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)This paper presents multi-proxy palaeolimnological analyses from recent sediments in the nine CASSARINA lakes in northernmost Africa, three from each of Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. The lakes are diverse, ranging from ... -
A paleoecological context to assess the development of oak forest in Colombia: A comment on Zorilla-Azcué, S., Gonzalez-Rodríguez, A., Oyama, K., González, M.A., & Rodríguez-Correa, H., The DNA history of a lonely oak: Quercus humboldtii phylogeography in the Colombian Andes. Ecology and Evolution 2021, doi: 10.100-2/ ece3.7529
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The present “comment” on Zorilla-Azcué et al.’s paper “The DNA history of a lonely oak: Quercus humboldtii phylogeography in the Colombian Andes. Ecology and Evolution 2021, doi:10.100-2/ece3.7529” provides the paleoecological ... -
Palm fruit colours are linked to the broad-scale distribution and diversification of primate colour vision systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A long-standing hypothesis in ecology and evolution is that trichromatic colour vision (the ability to distinguish red from green) in frugivorous primates has evolved as an adaptation to detect conspicuous (reddish) fruits. ... -
Pan-genome survey of the fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri links accessory- and amplified genes to virulence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)While both virulent and putatively avirulent Yersinia ruckeri strains exist in aquaculture environments, the relationship between the distribution of virulence-associated factors and de facto pathogenicity in fish remains ... -
A pan-Himalayan test of predictions on plant species richness based on primary production and water-energy dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Spatial variation in plant species diversity is well-documented but an overarching first-principles theory for diversity variation is lacking. Chemical energy expressed as Net Primary Production (NPP) is related to a ... -
Pancrustacean Evolution Illuminated by Taxon-Rich Genomic-Scale Data Sets with an Expanded Remipede Sampling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-04)The relationships of crustaceans and hexapods (Pancrustacea) have been much discussed and partially elucidated following the emergence of phylogenomic data sets. However, major uncertainties still remain regarding the ... -
Pankreassykdom; en gjennomgang av dagens kunnskaper, rapporter, tiltak og forvaltning.
(Master thesis, 2013-10-16)Pankreassykdom (PD) er en svært smittsom virussykdom som opptrer hos Atlantisk laks (Salmo salar L.) og regnbueørret (Oncorhynchus mykiss) i oppdrett. PD forårsakes av salmonid alphavirus (SAV). Hensikten med denne oppgaven ... -
The pantophysin gene and its relationship with survival in early life stages of Atlantic cod: Pantophysin in Atlantic cod
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Genetic markers are widely used in fisheries management around the world. While the genetic structure and markers selected are usually based on samples from the wild, very few controlled experiments have been carried out ... -
Parasite development affect dispersal dynamics; infectivity, activity and energetic status in cohorts of salmon louse copepodids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is a parasitic copepod infecting wild and farmed salmonid fishes in the northern hemisphere. It has a direct lifecycle with a planktonic dispersal phase and an infective copepodid ... -
Parasite intensity is driven by temperature in a wild bird
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Increasing awareness that parasitism is an essential component of nearly all aspects of ecosystem functioning, as well as a driver of biodiversity, has led to rising interest in the consequences of climate change in terms ... -
Parasites Found in Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) Caught in the Feeding Areas in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) is native to the North Pacific but has repeatedly been introduced to the North Atlantic by Russian researchers since 1956. This has resulted in the establishment of populations in ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The mesopelagic fish Benthosema glaciale [Actinopterygii: Myctophiformes: Myctophidae], abundant in open ocean and deep fjords, is targeted for future exploitation despite existing knowledge gaps on population vital rates. ... -
Parent-offspring conflict over reproductive timing: ecological dynamics far away and at other times may explain spawning variability in Pacific herring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Timing of reproduction may be of crucial importance for fitness, particularly in environments that vary seasonally in food availability or predation risk. However, for animals with spatially separated feeding and breeding ... -
