• Attuning to a changing ocean 

      Stenseth, Nils Christian; Payne, Mark R.; Bonsdorff, Erik; Dankel, Dorothy Jane; Durant, Joel Marcel; Anderson, Leif G.; Armstrong, Claire W.; Blenckner, Thorsten; Brakstad, Ailin; Dupont, Sam; Eikeset, Anne Maria; Goksøyr, Anders; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Kuparinen, Anna; Våge, Kjetil; Österblom, Henrik; Paasche, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The ocean is a lifeline for human existence, but current practices risk severely undermining ocean sustainability. Present and future social−ecological challenges necessitate the maintenance and development of knowledge ...
    • Biotic rescaling reveals importance of species interactions for variation in biodiversity responses to climate change 

      Vandvik, Vigdis; Skarpaas, Olav; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard J.; Halbritter, Aud Helen; Goldberg, Deborah E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Generality in understanding biodiversity responses to climate change has been hampered by substantial variation in the rates and even directions of response to a given change in climate. We propose that such context ...
    • Competition–defense trade-offs in the microbial world 

      Thingstad, T. Frede (Journal article, 2022)
    • Discovery of active off-axis hydrothermal vents at 9° 54′N East Pacific Rise 

      McDermott, Jill M.; Parnell-Turner, Ross; Barreyre, Thibaut; Herrera, Santiago; Downing, Connor C.; Pittoors, Nicole C.; Pehr, Kelden; Vohsen, Samuel A.; Dowd, William S.; Wu, Jyun-Nai; Marjanović, Milena; Fornari, Daniel J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Comprehensive knowledge of the distribution of active hydrothermal vent fields along midocean ridges is essential to understanding global chemical and heat fluxes and endemic faunal distributions. However, current knowledge ...
    • The evolution of insular woodiness 

      Zizka, Alexander; Onstein, Renske E.; Rozzi, Roberto; Weigelt, Patrick; Kreft, Holger; Steinbauer, Manuel; Bruelheide, Helge; Lens, Frederic (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Insular woodiness (IW)—the evolutionary transition from herbaceousness toward woodiness on islands—is one of the most iconic features of island floras. Since pioneering work by Darwin and Wallace, a number of drivers of ...
    • Geochemical transition zone powering microbial growth in subsurface sediments 

      Zhao, Rui; Mogollon, Jose M; Abby, Sophie; Schleper, Christa; Biddle, Jennifer; Roerdink, Desiree; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      No other environment hosts as many microbial cells as the marine sedimentary biosphere. While the majority of these cells are expected to be alive, they are speculated to be persisting in a state of maintenance without net ...
    • Harvesting forage fish can prevent fishing-induced population collapses of large piscivorous fish 

      Soudijn, Floor H.; van Denderen, P. D.; Heino, Mikko Petteri; Dieckmann, Ulf; de Roos, André M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Fisheries have reduced the abundances of large piscivores—such as gadids (cod, pollock, etc.) and tunas—in ecosystems around the world. Fisheries also target smaller species—such as herring, capelin, and sprat—that are ...
    • Injury-induced MAPK activation triggers body axis formation in Hydra by default Wnt signaling 

      Tursch, Anja; Bartsch, Natascha; Mercker, Moritz; Schluter, Jana; Lommel, Mark; Marciniak-Czochra, Anna; Ozbek, Suat; Holstein, Thomas W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Hydra’s almost unlimited regenerative potential is based on Wnt signaling, but so far it is unknown how the injury stimulus is transmitted to discrete patterning fates in head and foot regenerates. We previously identified ...
    • Reconstruction of the birth of a male sex chromosome present in Atlantic herring 

      Rafati, Nima; Chen, Junfeng; Herpin, Amaury; Pettersson, Mats; Han, Fan; Feng, Chungang; Wallerman, Ola; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Péron, Sandrine; Cocco, Arianna; Larsson, Mårten; Trötschel, Christian; Poetsch, Ansgar; Korsching, Kai; Bönigk, Wolfgang; Körschen, Heinz G.; Berg, Florian; Folkvord, Arild; Benjamin Kaupp, Kaupp; Schartl, Manfred; Andersson, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The mechanisms underlying sex determination are astonishingly plastic. Particularly the triggers for the molecular machinery, which recalls either the male or female developmental program, are highly variable and have ...
    • Recurrent convergent evolution at amino acid residue 261 in fish rhodopsin 

      Hill, Jason; Enbody, Erik D.; Pettersson, Mats E.; Sprehn, C. Grace; Bekkevold, Dorte; Folkvord, Arild; Laikre, Linda; Kleinau, Gunnar; Scheerer, Patrick; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The evolutionary process that occurs when a species colonizes a new environment provides an opportunity to explore the mechanisms underlying genetic adaptation, which is essential knowledge for understanding evolution and ...
    • Reduced physiological plasticity in a fish adapted to stable temperatures 

      Morgan, Rachael Louise; Andreassen, Anna H.; Åsheim, Eirik Ryvoll; Finnøen, Mette Helene; Dresler, Gunnar; Brembu, Tore; Loh, Adrian; Miest, Joanna J.; Jutfelt, Fredrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Plasticity can allow organisms to maintain consistent performance across a wide range of environmental conditions. However, it remains largely unknown how costly plasticity is and whether a trade-off exists between plasticity ...
