Comprehensive characterization of glial cells in the urochordate Ciona intestinalis
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-05-31)There are two main classes of cells that are present in the nervous system: neurons and glia. Neurons are the signalling units of the nervous system and are responsible to transmit electrical and chemical signals to other ... -
A comprehensive phylogeographic study of Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon, 1855 (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Arionidae) in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-17)Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon, 1855 is regarded as one of the 100 most invasive species in Europe. The native distribution range of this species is uncertain, but for many years, the Iberian Peninsula has been considered ... -
Computational animal welfare: towards cognitive architecture models of animal sentience, emotion and wellbeing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To understand animal wellbeing, we need to consider subjective phenomena and sentience. This is challenging, since these properties are private and cannot be observed directly. Certain motivations, emotions and related ... -
Concentrations and endocrine disruptive potential of phthalates in marine mammals from the Norwegian Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This study investigated concentrations of phthalates (diesters of phthalic acids) in blubber/adipose tissue of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) ... -
Concurrent jellyfish blooms and tenacibaculosis outbreaks in Northern Norwegian Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-02)Tenacibaculosis is an increasing problem in the Norwegian Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry causing significant economic losses. In September 2015, two separate outbreaks of suspected tenacibaculosis occurred at two ... -
Conditions favouring hard seededness as a dispersal and predator escape strategy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-16)1. The water-impermeable seed coat of ‘hard’ seeds is commonly considered a dormancy trait. Seed smell is, however, strongly correlated with seed water content, and hard seeds are therefore olfactionally cryptic ... -
Conformational selection mechanism of ASHH2 methyltransferase CW domain recognising H3K4me1 histone modification
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-10-26)From simple double-stranded molecule DNA is packed in the nucleus via different intermediate structures with help of various proteins organizing a complex structure referred to as chromatin. A subunit of chromatin is a ... -
Connecting the data landscape of long‐term ecological studies: The SPI‐Birds data hub
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long‐term studies of individually marked animals are not an ... -
Conservation and divergence of chemical defense system in the tunicate Oikopleura dioica revealed by genome wide response to two xenobiotics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02-02)Background Animals have developed extensive mechanisms of response to xenobiotic chemical attacks. Although recent genome surveys have suggested a broad conservation of the chemical defensome across metazoans, global gene ... -
Consistent trait-environment relationships within and across tundra plant communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A fundamental assumption in trait-based ecology is that relationships between traits and environmental conditions are globally consistent. We use field-quantified microclimate and soil data to explore if trait–environment ... -
Constant High Temperature Promotes Early Changes in Testis Development Associated with Sexual Maturation in Male Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Post-Smolts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sexual maturation of post-smolts is a concern for Atlantic salmon producers, and its occurrence is dependent upon factors such as water temperature and energy availability, among others. The present study was designed to ... -
Consumption of sea lice by lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): qPCR quantification and use of a non-destructive sampling method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the present study, it was attempted to quantify sea lice grazing in lumpfish by using a recently published qPCR assay. This method utilizes a small aliquot (10 μL) of the stomach fluid of the lumpfish which can be ... -
Contaminant accumulation and biological responses in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caged at a capped waste disposal site in Kollevåg, Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of this study was to assess whether fish in Kollevåg, a sheltered bay on the western coast of Norway, previously utilized as a waste disposal site, could be affected by environmental contaminants leaking from the ... -
Contemporary evolution caused by fisheries: Contributions from experimental studies
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-11-06)Evolutionary change is occurring within tens of generations or fewer in nature. This contemporary evolution is commonly caused by human activities, as they alter the selective pressures that the populations experience. ... -
Contrasting plant–soil–microbial feedbacks stabilize vegetation types and uncouple topsoil C and N stocks across a subarctic–alpine landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Global vegetation regimes vary in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. However, disentangling large-scale climatic controls from the effects of intrinsic plant–soil–microbial feedbacks on belowground processes ... -
Contrasting response to nutrient manipulation in Arctic mesocosms are reproduced by a minimum microbial food web model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-27)A minimum mathematical model of the marine pelagic microbial food web has previously shown to be able to reproduce central aspects of observed system response to different bottom-up manipulations in a mesocosm experiment ... -
Contrasting the phospholipid profiles of two neoplastic cell lines reveal a high PC:PE ratio for SH-SY5Y cells relative to A431 cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Lipids have been implicated in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We therefore studied the lipid profile of the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, which is used extensively in PD research and compared it to that of the A431 epithelial ... -
Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ... -
