(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 ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract The advent of fast computational algorithms for phylogenetic comparative methods allows for considering multiple hypotheses concerning the co-adaptation of traits and also for studying if it is possible ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)1. In species providing extended parental care, one or both parents care for altricial young over a period including more than one breeding season. We expect large parental investment and long-term dependency within family ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The large flood pulse of the Amazon basin is a principal driver of environmental heterogeneity with important implications for ecosystem function and the assembly of natural communities. Understanding species ecological ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Gene expression changes have been recognized as important drivers of adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Little is known about the relative roles of plastic and evolutionary responses in complex gene expression ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The genus Brevicellicium encompasses wood-inhabiting corticioid fungi characterized by isodiametric subhymenial hyphae, short basidia, and smooth, often subangular spores with a distinct apiculus. Eight new LSU nrDNA ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background and objectives: The roots of Centaurea behen L., (Asteraceae) known as Radix Behen Albi are used as an aphrodisiac, anti-lithiasis and general tonic. It is available as dried or powdered roots in the herbal ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Chimaeras, or ratfishes, are the only extant group of holocephalan fishes and are the sole host group of gyrocotylidean cestodes, which represent a sister group of the true tapeworms (Eucestoda). These unique, non-segmented ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background Non-coding satellite DNA (satDNA) usually has a high turn-over rate frequently leading to species specific patterns. However, some satDNA families evolve more slowly and can be found in several ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)One of the major goals in microbial ecology is to understand whether the empirical biogeographic patterns of macroorganisms also apply to microorganisms. Here, we used morphological data from live organisms, along with ...
