(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Despite the widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs), there are still major gaps of knowledge regarding the impact of nanomaterials in the environment and aquatic animals. The present work aimed to study the effects of 7 and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Terrestrial plants play a central role in the Earth system, largely due to photosynthesis and transpiration. Stomata are the gateways that connect the interior of plants with their surrounding atmosphere, regulating both ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)ErbB2 is one of the four members of the epidermal growth factor family of receptor tyrosine kinases, which mediate the activation of several signaling pathways that lead to cell proliferation, survival, differentiation and ...

Effects of Imidacloprid on the Survival and Recruitment of Folsomia quadrioculata in Soil Microcosms (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Despite an increased recognition that hybridization is an important evolutionary force, we are only starting to investigate the potential for adaptation in hybrid species. Historically, hybridization has been viewed as ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Lactate ions are involved in several physiological processes, including a direct stimulation of the carotid body, causing increased ventilation in mammals. A similar mechanism eliciting ventilatory stimulation in other ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Large-scale hatchery releases are carried out for many marine fish species worldwide; nevertheless, the long-term effects of this practice on the genetic structure of natural populations remains unclear. The lack of knowledge ...

Effects of marine protected areas and selective fishing on abundance, age and size structure of goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) populations.Restricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Wrasse species went from having almost no commercial value in Norway, and not being fished, to a landing of 21.2 million individuals in 2014 with 11.68 million of these being goldsinny. This explosive growth in fishing ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Mesopelagic fishes and invertebrates contribute to the biological carbon pump (BCP) through direct and indirect effects on the gravitational, diffusive, and migrant (active) fluxes. Here, we analyzed the effect of these ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)The ability of neurons to encode information and communicate with each other is vital for the normal functioning of our brain and body. The large pyramidal cells of the hippocampus have been of particular interest, due to ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)The purpose of this study was to characterise biotransformation and immune responses in juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) following exposure for 2, 8 and 16 days to the water-soluble fraction of North Sea crude oil in ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern Atlantic. The scientific studies of the ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)In this thesis a bio-optical model was used in order to identify and characterise diversity and fertilisation effects on primary productivity in Freshwaters. The experiments were conducted in mesocosms, comprising 12 ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2015)This thesis explores how different aspects of life history strategies in common marine planktonic organisms change when they perceive a chemical cue of predation risk. Predators can have dramatic effects on prey organisms ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)Daphnia magna is known for living in environments were temperature and food conditions may vary a lot. Food can be a determining factor for growth and reproduction. In the presence of rapid environmental changes, ecosystems ...
