(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Knowledge of genetic diversity among wild populations is becoming increasingly important as more species are recognized for their bioeconomic value. Industrialization of natural resources, such as kelp in the marine shallow ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Knowing the breeding system of a species is important in order to understand individual variation in reproductive success. Large variation in reproductive success and thus reproductive skew strongly impacts on the effective ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding how populations are structured in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. Parasites and their hosts are assumed to evolve together, however, detailed understanding of mechanisms leading ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Sorghum is ranked the fifth most produced food crop in the world, and is a dietary staple for over 500 million people in over 30 countries. It is the second most produced food crop in Africa, where cultivation of local ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract In northern European Cochlearia (Brassicaceae), considerable chromosome variation has taken place without corresponding morphological differentiation, resulting in an intricate species complex including ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Section Cochlearia (Brassicaceae) includes highly polymorphic species complexes with regard to ploidal level, ecological adaptation and distribution. Low levels of chloroplast DNA divergence suggest that taxa most likely ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Genomic imprinting regulates parent‐specific transcript dosage during seed development and is mainly confined to the endosperm. Elucidation of the function of many imprinted genes has been hampered by the lack of corresponding ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Crossing experiments indicate that hybrid sterility barriers frequently have developed within diploid, circumpolar plant species of the genus Draba. To gain insight into the rapid evolution of postzygotic reproductive ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Various stressors such as higher temperatures, grazing by sea urchins, and anthropogenic effects may threaten kelp forests around the world. Conservation efforts can benefit from an understanding of current and historic ...
-
(Research report / Forskningsrapport / PublishedVersion, 2017)Formålet med denne undersøkelsen var å identifisere mulige krysninger mellom hund og ulv i dagens skandinaviske ulvebestand. I tillegg ønsket vi å finne ut i hvor stor grad det er mulig å gjenkjenne innblanding av hund i ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2013)The relationship between temperature and body size has attracted wide interest since the “Bergmann's rule” was introduced. While this rule originally dealt with endotherms, later studies have focussed ectotherms, including ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine ecosystems provide a wide array of diverse ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract The macroscopic single-celled green alga Acetabularia acetabulum has been a model system in cell biology for more than a century. However, no genomic information is available from this species. Since the alga has ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The genus Mesotoga , the only described mesophilic Thermotogae lineage, is common in mesothermic anaerobic hydrocarbon‐rich environments. Besides mesophily, Mesotoga displays lineage‐specific phenotypes, such as no or ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2022)Climate change and human activities are currently affecting species around us in a variety of ways. For instance, many species are expanding their range and settling further north in the northern hemisphere as the climate ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Increased availability of genome assemblies for non-model organisms has resulted in invaluable biological and genomic insight into numerous vertebrates, including teleosts. Sequencing of the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Louse-borne relapsing fever was one of the major diseases affecting Western human populations, with its last major pandemic killing millions after World War I. Despite the major role fevers have played in epidemic events ...
