(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)Wrasse (Labridae) fisheries have increased markedly in Norway since 2010. Wrasse are being used as cleaner fish in salmonid aquaculture to control sea-lice infestations. However, fundamental knowledge on the demography and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Phytoplankton acclimates to irradiance by regulating the cellular content of light-harvesting complexes, which are nitrogen (N) rich and phosphorus (P) poor. Irradiance is thus hypothesised to influence the cellular N : P ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Arctic climate was warmer than today at the last interglacial and the Holocene thermal optimum. To reveal the impact of past climate-warming events on the demographic history of an Arctic specialist, we examined both ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Salmon farming in marine net pens is a major activity in many temperate regions. This industry may affect coastal ecosystems in several ways, such as with waste pollution and parasite spillover. Less is known about the ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)At the prospect of global warming, an understanding of how increasing temperatures may affect both species and communities becomes increasingly important. In 2002, a regime shift occurred along the Norwegian Skagerrak coast ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)The present study examined how climate changes may impact the concentrations of lipophilic organochlorines (OCs) in the blood of fasting High Arctic common eiders (Somateria mollissima) during incubation. Polychlorinated ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)The effect of elevated CO₂ on plant stoichiometry has been given a lot of attention in the last years; however, extended studies on the effects of elevated light added to the increased CO₂ are still insufficient. Plant ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Understanding the extent to which primates in forest fragments can adjust behaviorally and ecologically to changes caused by deforestation is essential to designing conservation management plans. During a 12‐month period, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Many wild animals perceive humans as predators, and human disturbance,especially in the form of hunting, triggers antipredatory behavior among prey.Yet, knowledge of how game species react to different types of human ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) availability can limit growth of primary producers across most of the world's aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These constraints are commonly overcome in agriculture by applying ...
-
Impacts of the match-mismatch hypothesis across three trophic levels—a case study in the North Sea (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Sustainable fishery practices require accurate predictions of fish recruitment—the abundance of a new year class entering a fishery. A key driver of recruitment is the impact predator-prey dynamics experienced ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)In aquatic environments predator threats can be present as chemical cues which can induce defensive traits in prey. Such predatory induced cues can be responsible for changes in morphology, life histories and behavior. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Mutations in the HECT, UBA and WWE domain-containing 1 (HUWE1) E3 ubiquitin ligase cause neurodevelopmental disorder X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). HUWE1 regulates essential processes such as genome integrity ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)There are concerns that increasing anthropogenic stressors can cause catastrophic transitions in ecosystems. Such shifts have large social, economic, and ecological consequences and therefore have important management ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The increased transport of terrestrially derived organic material (tOM) from catchments to rivers and lakes is leading to browning of northern freshwaters.(1) Although the same environmental drivers can be expected to lead ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2021)Nanoparticles are small particles in the nanometer size range, undetectable by the human eye. Nowadays nanoparticles are investigated as carriers of therapeutic drugs to increase treatment effect and minimize side effects ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Partial migration is common in a large variety of taxa in seasonally variable environments. Understanding the mechanisms underlying migration is important, as migration affects individual fi tness. Migratory herbivores ...
