Interactions of arginine and polyamines on growth and metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-10-09)Arginine and methionine are indispensable amino acids (AA) for Atlantic salmon, meaning that salmon is unable to produce these AA endogenously and is fully dependent on dietary supply. In addition to be substrates for ... -
Interactive effects of light quality during day extension and temperature on bud set, bud burst and paftl2, pacol1-2 and pasoc1 expression in norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) karst.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Light and temperature are crucial factors for the annual growth rhythm of tree seedlings of the boreal and temperate zone. Dormant, vegetative winter buds are formed under short days (SD) and altered light quality. In the ... -
Interannual Variabilities of Nutrients and Phytoplankton off the Changjiang Estuary in Response to Changing River Inputs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Coastal ecosystems are strongly influenced by terrestrial inputs of freshwater, sediments, and nutrients, particularly in a megariver estuary of the Changjiang River. A remarkable increase in nutrient loading from the ... -
The intercept is a poor estimate of a calibrated radiocarbon age
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Intercept-based methods of generating a point estimate of a calibrated radiocarbon date are very popular, but exhibit undesirable behaviour. They are highly sensitive to the mean of the radiocarbon date and to adjustments ... -
Interdependence between Perceived Cooperative Learning, Sense of Belonging, and Generic Skills in Undergraduate STEM Education
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The development of sense of belonging and generic skills may be considered important to succeed in higher education and in life and may be enhanced through student group work. For group work to succeed, Social Interdependence ... -
An interdisciplinary, student-active course on UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life below water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Educating student to respond to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for teaching and learning where students are at the centre of their own learning. Sustainability questions are ‘wicked problems’, where no single, ... -
Intergeneric relationships within the subfamily Rosoideae (Rosaceae) with emphasis on Rubus L.
(Master thesis, 2018-06-29)The genus Rubus belongs to the Rose family, and is currently placed in the supertribe Rosodae, of the subfamily Rosoideae. Further systematic placement of Rubus has not yet been clarified, although several hypotheses have ... -
Interleukin-1 ligands and receptors in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.): molecular characterization, phylogeny, gene expression and transcriptome analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)The interleukin (IL)-1 family play a fundamental role as immune system modulators. Our previous transcriptome-analyses of leukocytes from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) showed that IL-1β was among the most highly upregulated ... -
Interspecific differences in root foraging precision cannot be directly inferred from species' mycorrhizal status or fine root economics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Nutrient acquisition in plants can be represented by a suite of intercorrelated root traits such as root diameter, nitrogen content, root tissue density and specific root length. However, it is unclear how a plant's ability ... -
Intestinal function of the stomachless fish, ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-26)Little is known about the digestion of nutrients in stomachless (agastric) fishes with short intestines, such as wrasse. This study describes the digestion, absorption and evacuation rates in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) ... -
Intracellular trafficking of fatty acids in the fish intestinal epithelial cell line RTgutGC
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)The shift towards higher inclusion of vegetable oils (VOs) in aquafeeds has resulted in major changes in dietary fatty acid composition, especially increased amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and decreased ... -
Intramuscular vaccination of Atlantic lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) induces inflammatory reactions and local immunoglobulin M production at the vaccine administration site
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Atlantic lumpfish were vaccinated by intramuscular (im) or intraperitoneal (ip) injection with a multivalent oil‐based vaccine, while control fish were injected with phosphate‐buffered saline. Four lumpfish per group were ... -
Intraspecific trait variability is a key feature underlying high Arctic plant community resistance to climate warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In the high Arctic, plant community species composition generally responds slowly to climate warming, whereas less is known about the community functional trait responses and consequences for ecosystem functioning. The ... -
Introducing the index-based ecological condition assessment framework (IBECA)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sustainable nature management and ecosystem conservation depends critically on scientifically sound and stakeholder-relevant analytical frameworks for monitoring and assessing ecological condition. Several general frameworks ... -
Introgression of domesticated salmon changes life history and phenology of a wild salmon population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The release of domesticated conspecifics into the natural environment, whether deliberate or accidental, has the potential to alter the genetic integrity and evolutionary trajectory of wild populations. This widespread ... -
The invertebrate fauna of anthropogenic soils in the High-Arctic settlement of Barentsburg, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-17)The terrestrial environment of the High Arctic consists of a mosaic of habitat types. In addition to the natural habitat diversity, various human-influenced types may occur. For the resident invertebrate fauna, these ... -
Invest more and die faster: The life history of a parasite on intensive farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Organisms are expected to respond to alterations in their survival by evolutionary changes in their life history traits. As agriculture and aquaculture have become increasingly intensive in the past decades, there has been ... -
Investigating elevational gradients of species richness in a Mediterranean plant hotspot using a published flora
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Apuan Alps are one of the most peculiar mountain chain in the Mediterranean, being very close to the coastline and reaching an elevation of almost 2000 m. Based on published flora, we investigated the distribution of ...
