(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)In recent decades, the freshwater alga Gonyostomum semen (Ehrenberg) Diesing has increased in abundance and distribution, which has created problems regarding the use of lakes for drinking water and recreation. Increases ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Temperature and nutrients are key factors affecting the growth, cell size, and physiology of marine phytoplankton. In the ocean, temperature and nutrient availability often co-vary because temperature drives vertical ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Recent large-scale undertakings such as ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics have generated experimental data mapped to the human reference genome (as genomic tracks) representing a variety of functional elements ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is associated with severe gastrointestinal disease. Upon entering the gastrointestinal tract, EHEC is exposed to a fluctuating environment and a myriad of other bacterial species. To establish ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Ruminants are dependent on their gut microbiomes for nutrient extraction from plant diets. However, knowledge about the composition, diversity, function, and spatial structure of gut microbiomes, especially ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The gut microbiota structure reflects both a host phylogenetic history and a signature of adaptation to the host ecological, mainly trophic niches. African cichlid fishes, with their array of closely related species that ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)The monogenean freshwater parasite Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 is endemic to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) east of the Baltic Sea, but has spread outside this area via transport and stocking of fish. In Norway and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background Translocation of native species and introduction of non-native species are potentially harmful to the existing biota by introducing e.g. diseases, parasites and organisms that may negatively ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Habitat fragmentation has been suggested to be responsible for major genetic differentiations in a range of marine organisms. In this study, we combined genetic data and environmental information to unravel the relative ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)Parids are mostly sedentary birds and therefore habitat selection is important for both winter survival and reproduction in the breeding season. Because of their residency, parids are vulnerable to habitat fragmentation ...

Handbook for the measurement of macrofungal functional traits: A start with basidiomycete wood fungi (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Functional traits are widely recognized as a useful framework for testing mechanisms underlying species community assemblage patterns and ecosystem processes. Functional trait studies in the plant and animal literature ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)A growing need for food is causing increased interest for seaweed farming globally. This requires knowledge of the industry’s effects on the marine environment. We therefore aimed to explore the communities hosted by a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Haptophyta encompasses more than 300 species of mostly marine pico‐ and nanoplanktonic flagellates. Our aims were to investigate the Oslofjorden haptophyte diversity and vertical distribution by metabarcoding, and to improve ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)Macrophages are essential innate immune cells which have increasingly become attractive manipulable targets in designing therapies, given their significant involvement in the pathophysiology of several diseases, including ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Marine recreational fishing is a popular outdoor activity. However, knowledge about the magnitude of recreational catches relative to commercial catches in coastal fisheries is generally sparse. Coastal Atlantic cod (Gadus ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The intensive harvesting of hosts is often the only practicable strategy for controlling emerging wildlife diseases. Several harvesting approaches have been explored theoretically with the objective of lowering transmission ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Much has been written about fishery-induced evolution (FIE) in exploited species, but relatively little attention has been paid to the consequences for one of the most important parameters in evolutionary biology—effective ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Removing individuals from a wild population can affect the availability of prospective mates and the outcome of competitive interactions, with subsequent effects on mating patterns and sexual selection. Consequently, the ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)METODER: Heleksomsekvensering (WES) ble brukt til å identifisere potensielle sykdomsgivende varianter i to brødre med «Dravet-like» progressiv epileptisk encephalopati født av inngiftede foreldre ved analyse av en invertert ...
