Learning and loving of nature in the Anthropocene. How to broaden science with curiosity and passion (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)What does “belonging to nature” mean today and how can children and young people be inspired to experience this? What basic dilemmas and challenges arise between the requirement for critical thinking on the one side, and ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)During decomposition of organic matter, microbial communities may follow different successional trajectories depending on the initial environment and colonizers. The timing and order of the species arrival (assembly history) ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The supplementary feeding of cervids is a widespread practice across the northern hemisphere. There are few studies, however, regarding the extent of feeding in space and time. There are adverse effects of supplementary ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: L. tarentolae, the lizard-infecting species of Old World geckos, has been classified as non-pathogenic to man. While it has been demonstrated that L. tarentolae is capable of infecting human phagocytic cells ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract The genetic basis for the fine-tuned regulation of gene expression is complex and ultimately influences the phenotype and thus the local adaptation of natural populations. Short tandem repeats (STRs) ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Length-weight relationships (LWR), relative weight and relative condition factor were studied for three freshwater carideans (Atyaephyra acheronensis, Atyaephyra thyamisensis and Palaemon antennarius) from lotic and lentic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Predation is widely believed to exert strong selective pressure on primate behavior and ecology but is difficult to study and rarely observed. In this study, we describe seven encounters between lone wild leopards (Panthera ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been characterized by unprecedented rates of spatio-temporal spread. Here, we summarize the main events in the pandemic's timeline and evaluate what ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Persistent and lipophilic contaminants present in the oceans will accumulate in organisms through transfer in foodwebs. Many seabirds occupy high trophic positions in marine foodwebs, and may be used as bioindicators for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The flow of GPS data on animal space is challenging old paradigms, such as the issue of the scale-free Lévy walk versus scale-specific Brownian motion. Since these movement classes often require different protocols with ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)The pelagic zone is the largest ecosystem on Earth. The inhabitants of this ecosystem are not provided with any substances to hide behind. Diel vertical migration (DVM) is believed to be a trade-off between substantial ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Practically every Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stock have suffered from depletion and overfishing, placing the fish on IUCN’s Red List as ‘Vulnerable’. The Skagerrak Coastal Cod stocks are in no better shape, reported to ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)With the looming threat of abrupt ecological disruption due to a changing climate, predicting which species are most vulnerable to environmental change is critical. The life-history of a species is an evolved response to ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)Freshwater systems are important for a wide variety of organisms. With the addition of increased mean temperatures, increased frequency of extreme weather events and changes in precipitation patterns brought upon by climate ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Habitat loss and fragmentation have caused population decline across taxa through impacts on life history diversity, dispersal patterns, and gene flow. Yet, intentional isolation of native fish populations is a frequently ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Crucian carp are unusual among vertebrates in surviving extended periods in the complete absence of molecular oxygen. During this time cardiac output is maintained though these mechanisms are not well understood. Using a ...
