(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ancient DNA (aDNA) approaches have been successfully used to infer the long-term impacts of climate change, domestication, and human exploitation in a range of terrestrial species. Nonetheless, studies investigating such ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Healthy insect populations are vital for maintaining natural ecosystems and essential to global food security. The ongoing dramatic loss of insect species and biomass is thus a global cause for concern, with much focus on ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fin whales Balaenoptera physalus were hunted unsustainably across the globe in the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to vast reductions in population size. Whaling catch records indicate the importance of the Southern Ocean ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Non-ribosomal synthetase-produced cyanopeptoline oligopeptides enables differentiation of subpopulations of the cyanobacterial genus Planktothrix into chemotypes. It is unknown what influences the population structuring ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Accelerated anthropogenic impacts and climatic changes are widely considered to be responsible for unprecedented species extinction. However, determining their effects on extinction is challenging owing to the lack of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Rapid global warming is severely impacting Arctic ecosystems and is predicted to transform the abundance, distribution and genetic diversity of Arctic species, though these linkages are poorly understood. We address this ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Advances in GPS technology have created both opportunities in ecology as well as a need for analytical tools that can deal with the growing volume of data and ancillary variables associated with ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)African wolves (Canis lupaster) and Ethiopian wolves (C. simensis) occur often sympatrically across habitats in the Ethiopian Highlands, with recent studies finding evidence for interspecific competition. However, unlike ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Humans are rapidly transforming the structural configuration of the planet's ecosystems, but these changes and their ecological consequences remain poorly quantified in underwater habitats. Here, we show that the loss of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well as abiotic factors, such as climatic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Selective hunting can affect demographic characteristics and phenotypic traits of the targeted species. Hunting systems often involve harvesting quotas based on sex, age and/or size categories to avoid selective pressure. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)The influenza virus mutates and spreads rapidly, making it suitable for studying evolutionary and ecological processes. The ecological factors and processes by which different lineages of influenza compete or coexist within ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Infectious diseases are an existential health threat, potentiated by emerging and re-emerging viruses and increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance. Targeted treatment of infectious diseases requires precision diagnostics, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)An international workshop on marine integrated contaminant monitoring (ICON) was organised to test a framework on integrated environmental assessment and simultaneously assess the status of selected European marine areas. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)CD4+ T cells contribute to tumor eradication, even in the absence of CD8+ T cells. Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells can directly kill MHC class II positive tumor cells. More surprisingly, CD4+ T cells can indirectly eliminate tumor ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objective. Mechanistic modeling of neurons is an essential component of computational neuroscience that enables scientists to simulate, explain, and explore neural activity. The conventional approach to simulation of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)University teachers grow professionally from conversations about learning and teaching with colleagues. Significant informal conversations can be facilitated through formal activities initiated from the institutional side. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The pathogens causing Lyme disease are all vectored by generalist tick species found on a wide range of vertebrates, but spatial and annual variation in host use has rarely been quantified. We here compare the load of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment, conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed management decisions. Here we survey the main ...
