(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Understanding the impacts of habitat modification on primate feeding ecology is essential to design effective conservation management strategies. The dietary guild (e.g., frugivore, folivore, insectivore, and omnivore) of ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The main objective of the present study is to describe and compare the morphology of the female genitalia within a selected number of species and families of the lower Diptera. The results are presented as two papers with ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Among amphibians, conspecific chemical communication has been widely studied in Caudata. Adult anurans, by contrast, have received less attention. Recently, it was shown that chemical scents are also relevant for adult ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2018)1. Fencing is a contentious issue due to its impact on conservation. The Danish government aims to establish a 70 km fence towards the border of Germany and the agricultural ministry of Bulgaria erected 133 km fences along ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract How animals rewire cellular programs to survive cold is a fascinating problem with potential biomedical implications, ranging from emergency medicine to space travel. Studying a hibernation-like response in the ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer which urgently requires new and efficient treatment strategies. A novel targeted agent for advanced melanoma, vemurafenib, has shown high response rates among patients ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Hepatic fibrogenesis is a wound healing response to continuous or chronic insults to the liver. The fibrotic stimuli are often based on disease, genetic disorders, abuse of alcohol and drugs or physical injury to the liver. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2018)Cryptic species could represent a substantial fraction of biodiversity. However, inconsistent definitions and taxonomic treatment of cryptic species prevent informed estimates of their contribution to biodiversity and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Background and aims – The species delimitations within the prostrate species with condensed inflorescence in Chlorophytum are ambiguous and the taxonomic rank of several of the species involved are disputed. This study ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Speciation involves the evolution of reproductive barriers that maintain the genetic integrity of species. Premating barriers, in particular, have been referred to as one of the most important mechanisms in keeping species ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Successful resource‐management and conservation outcomes ideally depend on matching the spatial scales of population demography, local adaptation, and threat mitigation. For marine fish with high dispersal capabilities, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Identifying the spatial scale of population structuring is critical for the conservation of natural populations and for drawing accurate ecological inferences. However, population studies often use spatially aggregated ...

Fine-scale spatial structure of root-associated fungi within a single plant root systemRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is an ancient and prevalent symbiosis between plants and fungi, and is crucial for growth and survival for a number of plants. Host plants can form ECM with multiple fungi, yet little is known about ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Mathematical models for excitable cells are commonly based on cable theory, which considers a homogenized domain and spatially constant ionic concentrations. Although such models provide valuable insight, the effect of ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Visually evoked signals in the retina pass through the dorsal geniculate nucleus (dLGN) on the way to the visual cortex. This is however not a simple feedforward flow of information: there is a significant feedback from ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)To support the predicted growth of shipping activities in the Arctic region in coming decades, port developments and associated shipping infrastructure will be required to be developed in both Arctic and sub-Arctic areas. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate variability, fishing and predation are the main factors affecting fish population dynamics. In this study, the drivers of population growth variability were investigated for 7 fish stocks (2 cod, 4 herring and 1 ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Length and depth of fish larvae are part of the fundamental measurements in many marine ecology studies involving early fish life history. Until now, obtaining these measurements has required intensive manual labor and the ...
