• Duration of the parasitic phase determines subsequent performance in juvenile freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) 

      Marwaha, Janhavi; Jensen, Knut Helge; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Geist, Jürgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)
      Host–parasite systems have been useful in understanding coevolutionary patterns in sympatric species. Based on the exceptional interaction of the long‐lived and highly host‐specific freshwater pearl mussel (FPM; Margaritifera ...
    • The emotion system promotes diversity and evolvability 

      Giske, Jarl; Eliassen, Sigrunn; Fiksen, Øyvind; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Mangel, Marc; Jørgensen, Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-06)
      Studies on the relationship between the optimal phenotype and its environment have had limited focus on genotype-to-phenotype pathways and their evolutionary consequences. Here, we study how multi-layered trait architecture ...
    • Enrichment promotes learning in fish 

      Strand, David A.; Utne-Palm, Anne Christine; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Braithwaite, Victoria A.; Jensen, Knut Helge; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-18)
      Captive birds and mammals reared in enriched rearing environments have been shown to behave more flexibly compared to animals reared in impoverished or plain environments. Recent evidence has shown that this is also true ...
    • Examining the role of parasites in limiting unidirectional gene flow between lake and river sticklebacks 

      Erin, Noémie; Benesh, Daniel P; Henrich, Tina; Samonte, Irene E; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Kalbe, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      1. Parasites are important selective agents with the potential to limit gene flow between host populations by shaping local host immunocompetence. 2. We report on a contact zone between lake and river three‐spined sticklebacks ...
    • Multiple paternity promotes genetic diversity in captive breeding of a freshwater mussel 

      Wacker, Sebastian; Larsen, Bjørn Mejdell; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Karlsson, Sten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Captive breeding can be an important supplement to habitat restoration in the conservation of threatened species. Careful choice of breeding regimes and genetic monitoring are essential to maintain genetic integrity and ...
    • Size Dependent Male Reproductive Tactic in the Two-Spotted Goby (Gobiusculus flavescens) 

      Utne-Palm, Anne Christine; Eduard, Kjartan; Jensen, Knut Helge; Mayer, Ian; Jakobsen, Per Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-07)
      Male investment in testes and sperm duct gland in the polygamous nest breeding two-spotted goby Gobiusculus flavescens (Fabricius) was investigated in relation to time in reproductive season and individual physical parameters. ...
