(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper reports a full assessment of results from ICON, an international workshop on marine integrated contaminant monitoring, encompassing different matrices (sediment, fish, mussels, gastropods), areas (Iceland, North ...

Integration of DNA Methylation and Gene Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma: Epigenetic Regulation, Patient Classification, and PrognosisRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Despite the increased molecular understanding of lung cancer, advances in therapy, and reduced smoking rates in developed countries, lung cancer remains the deadliest cancer type in the world today. Lung adenocarcinoma ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Over the last few years, genomic studies on Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of all known plague epidemics, have considerably increased in numbers, spanning a period of about 5,000 y. Nonetheless, questions concerning ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)The tendency of ectotherms to get larger in the cold (Bergmann clines) has potentially great implications for individual performance and food web dynamics. The mechanistic drivers of this trend are not well understood, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)As the number of breeding pairs depends on the adult sex ratio in a monogamous species with biparental care, investigating sex-ratio variability in natural populations is essential to understand population dynamics. Using ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Most cervid populations in Europe and North America are managed through selective harvesting, often with age- and sex-specific quotas, with a large influence on the population growth rate. Less well understood is how ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Bacterial adhesion to the host is the most decisive step in infections. Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAA) are important pathogenicity factors of Gram-negative bacteria. The prototypic TAA Bartonella adhesin A (BadA) ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Albumin is an abundant blood protein that acts as a transporter of a plethora of small molecules like fatty acids, hormones, toxins, and drugs. In addition, it has an unusual long serum half-life in humans of nearly 3 ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Climate change is increasing the earth’s temperature and acidifying its ocean. These changes are expected to be more severe in the Arctic region. Higher temperatures in the Arctic Ocean will reduce its sea ice and open it ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abstract Purpose of Review Global warming and pollution are among the five major causes of global biodiversity loss, particularly in aquatic invertebrates which are highly diverse but understudied. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Translocation of organisms within or outside its native range carries the risk of modifying the community of the recipient ecosystems and induces gene flow between locally adapted populations or closely related species. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)When a fish stock shifts from one nation to another nation, e.g., due to climate change, the nation that loses the resource has incentives to deplete it, while the other nation, receiving the resource, has incentives to ...

(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2014)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an RNA processing pathway that helps maintain the quality of gene expression. It is best known as a surveillance system that detects aberrant mRNA molecules that result from mutations leading ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Interspecific competition is expected when two species share resource needs. For example, secondary cavity‐nesting birds may compete vigorously for suitable nest sites both within and among species. However, little is known ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Lumbar disc herniation may affect the spinal nerve roots through mechanical pressure, but may also induce a local inflammatory response. Therefore, in an animal model mimicking the clinical situation after intervertebral ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Intimin and Invasin are prototypical inverse (Type Ve) autotransporters and important virulence factors of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Yersinia spp. respectively. In addition to a C‐terminal extracellular domain ...
