  • Beak and skull shapes of human commensal and non-commensal house sparrows Passer domesticus 
    Riyahi, Sepand; Hammer, Øyvind; Arbabi, Tayebeh; Sánchez, Antonio; Roselaar, Cees S; Aliabadian, Mansour; Sætre, Glenn-Peter (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)
    Background The granivorous house sparrow Passer domesticus is thought to have developed its commensal relationship with humans with the rise of agriculture in the Middle East some 10,000 years ago, and to ...
  • Evolutionary analysis of the female-specific avian W chromosome 
    Smeds, Linnea; Warmuth, Vera; Bolivar, Paulina; Uebbing, Severin; Burri, Reto; Suh, Alexander; Nater, Alexander; Bures, Stanislav; Garamszegi, Laszlo Z.; Hogner, Silje; Moreno, Juan; Qvarnström, Anna; Ruzic, Milan; Sæther, Stein Are; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Torok, Janos; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    The typically repetitive nature of the sex-limited chromosome means that it is often excluded from or poorly covered in genome assemblies, hindering studies of evolutionary and population genomic processes in non-recombining ...
  • Experimental evidence for ovarian hypofunction in sparrow hybrids 
    Eroukhmanoff, Fabrice; Rowe, Melissah; Cramer, Emily R A; Haas, Fredrik; Hermansen, Jo S; Runemark, Anna; Johnsen, Arild; Sætre, Glenn-Peter (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)
    Background Postzygotic isolation in the form of reduced viability and/or fertility of hybrids may help maintain species boundaries in the face of interspecific gene flow. Past hybridization events between ...
  • Increased divergence but reduced variation on the Z chromosome relative to autosomes in Ficedula flycatchers: differential introgression or the faster-Z effect? 
    Hogner, Silje; Sæther, Stein Are; Borge, Thomas; Bruvik, Torbjørn; Johnsen, Arild; Sætre, Glenn-Peter (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)
    Recent multilocus studies of congeneric birds have shown a pattern of elevated interspecific divergence on the Z chromosome compared to the autosomes. In contrast, intraspecifically, birds exhibit less polymorphism on the ...
  • Measuring sperm swimming performance in birds: effects of dilution, suspension medium, mechanical agitation, and sperm number 
    Cramer, Emily Rebecca A; Rowe, Melissah; Eroukhmanoff, Fabrice; Lifjeld, Jan Terje; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Johnsen, Arild (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Sperm swimming performance, including swimming speed and the proportion of motile cells, may strongly affect fertilization success. However, little is known about how methodological factors affect in vitro measurement of ...
  • Molecular diversification of the seminal fluid proteome in a recently diverged passerine species pair 
    Rowe, Melissah; Whittington, Emma; Borziak, Kirill; Ravinet, Mark; Eroukhmanoff, Fabrice; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Dorus, Steve (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) mediate an array of postmating reproductive processes that influence fertilization and fertility. As such, it is widely held that SFPs may contribute to postmating, prezygotic reproductive ...
  • A new upper jurassic ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from the Slottsmøya Member, Agardhfjellet Formation of central Spitsbergen 
    Roberts, Aubrey Jane; Druckenmiller, Patrick Scott; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Hurum, Jørn Harald (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
    Abundant new ichthyosaur material has recently been documented in the Slottsmøya Member of the Agardhfjellet Formation from the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. Here we describe a partial skeleton of a new taxon, Janusaurus ...
  • Signatures of human-commensalism in the house sparrow genome 
    Ravinet, Mark; Elgvin, Tore Oldeide; Trier, Cassandra Nicole; Aliabadian, Mansour; Gavrilov, Andrey; Sætre, Glenn-Peter (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    House sparrows (Passer domesticus) are a hugely successful anthrodependent species; occurring on nearly every continent. Yet, despite their ubiquity and familiarity to humans, surprisingly little is known about their ...
