(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract The coastline of Sub‐Saharan Africa hosts highly diverse fish communities of great conservation value, which are also key resources for local livelihoods. However, many costal ecosystems are threatened by ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2019)In the Mesozoic seas, the apex predators were reptiles. From the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, the Spitsbergen Mesozoic Research Group has excavated numerous well preserved marine reptile skeletons in order to understand ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract: The Neotropics is one of the most diverse regions of the globe in terms of plants and animal species. Regarding the microbial world, however, little is known about the diversity and biogeography patterns of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Phylogenetic placement refers to a family of tools and methods to analyze, visualize, and interpret the tsunami of metagenomic sequencing data generated by high-throughput sequencing. Compared to alternative (e. g., ...
-
The MIAmaxent R package: Variable transformation and model selection for species distribution models (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The widely used “Maxent” software for modeling species distributions from presence‐only data (Phillips et al., Ecological Modelling, 190, 2006, 231) tends to produce models with high‐predictive performance but low‐ecological ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method has gained widespread use for distribution modelling, mostly because of the practical simplicity offered by the maxent.jar software. Whilst MaxEnt was originally described as a machine ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Microhabitat changes are thought to be among the main drivers of diversification. However, this conclusion is mostly based on studies on vertebrates. Here, we investigate the influence of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background Describing and evaluating miRNA inventories with Next Generation Sequencing is a goal of scientists from a wide range of fields. It requires high purity, high quality, and high yield RNA extractions ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background Microsatellites are frequently used genetic markers in a wide range of applications, primarily due to their high length polymorphism levels that can easily be genotyped by fragment length analysis. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The tropical alpine ecosystem in eastern Africa is highly fragmented among biological ‘sky islands’, where populations of frost-tolerant organisms are isolated from each other by a ‘sea’ of tropical lowlands. One-third of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)A recent comparative analysis of passerine birds found that the frequency of extra-pair paternity was positively associated with neutral genetic diversity. It has been hypothesised that migratory species have more extra-pair ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Paraná deposit, located at Southwestern Rio Grande do Norte state, in Brazil, is one of the few emerald deposits found at Borborema Province. The mineralization occurs in phlogopite schists and actinolite-phlogopite ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)Peculiar rocks consisting of large and rare minerals are known as nepheline syenite pegmatites and can be found in larvikite (national rock of Norway!) around the Larvik area. Detailed chemical analyses of a mineral called ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract The mitochondrial genomes of Bilateria are relatively conserved in their protein-coding, rRNA, and tRNA gene complement, but the order of these genes can range from very conserved to very variable depending ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The endangered Spitsbergen stock of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) has once been large with up to estimated 100,000 individuals. Genetic diversity of the extant Spitsbergen stock is unknown. We present 10 complete ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Full mitochondrial genomes were assembled for 12 recently sampled animals from the Svalbard bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) stock via high-throughput sequencing data, facilitating analysis of the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Premise of research. Self-compatibility is a requirement for reproductive assurance via selfing and may therefore be beneficial in environments with infrequent or unpredictable pollinator service. However, self-compatible ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)High-MgO (>12 wt%) magmas represent some of the most primary and high temperature melts from mantle plumes. The compositional diversity of high-MgO magmas gained by fractional melting within inhomogeneous mantle sources, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Long-term phenotypic stasis is frequently observed in the fossil record, but not readily predicted from microevolutionary theory. To test competing explanations for stasis on macroevolutionary timescales we need reliably ...
