(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Hybridization is a common phenomenon within the genus Canis. The recently discovered African wolf (Canis lupaster), is sympatric with several closely related species; the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis), the side-striped ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Elettaria Maton is a small genus in the pantropical Zingiberaceae, comprising 11 species. Molecular data analyses have been widely used to reconstruct evolutionary history and to infer phylogenetic relationships, but to ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Ecosystems all over the world are affected by climate change, and especially so high latitude and altitude ecosystems. One consequence of global warming in Norway is an upward shift in the mountain birch forest line. A ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)As molecular and bioinformatics techniques are used more frequently and new marine habitats are analysed, a constant increase of marine fungal diversity has been reported, suggesting that marine fungi are a diverse but ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)I present a model of chiasma interference and recombination in homo- and heterokaryotypes and a model of nonrandom mating. These two models form the basis of a general-purpose deterministic multilocus evolution simulator, ...

Climate change effects on substrate affinity and trait-dependent responses in wood-decomposing fungi (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)Climate change is the effect of rapid and recent change in global climate variables, affecting all species in all ecosystems. Fungi are no exception, fulfilling a variety of important roles as decomposers, parasites and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Across the avian lineage, closely related species, or even populations within the same species may display differing migratory phenotypes. The many components of migratory behaviour are inherited as one migratory gene ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)Black-headed Gulls are in rapid decline in Norway and is categorized as VU (Vulnerable) on the national Red List. The Norwegian population has decreased from 30 000 pairs around 1990 to just 7000 pairs in 2011. In the study ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)Abstract Rotifers and phytoplankton have been vastly used by scientists as model organisms in toxicological, eco-toxicological, ecological and other studies. In order to conduct experiments on interactions between animals ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)The fungal life cycle is highly diverse in different fungal groups. For most wood-decaying basidiomycetes, their life cycle includes two different mycelial stages, a primary monokaryotic and a secondary dikaryotic stage, ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)Studying the ecology and measuring levels of population genetic diversity are important steps for assessing the conservation status and implementing appropriate conservation strategies for rare or endangered plant species. ...

Description of a new Upper Jurassic ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from the Slottsmøya Member, Agardhfjellet Formation of central SpitsbergenRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Ichthyosaurs were a group of marine reptiles that thrived in the Mesozoic seas. They evolved to be highly specialized marine predators, and were the first reptilian group to be entirely aquatic. This project’s goal was to ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Differences in variation of phenotypic trait expression between males and females have been observed in multiple studies that are limited to one species, but meta-analytic evidence has failed to show consistent differences ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The ridge-snowbed gradient is of high importance in alpine areas in structuring the vegetation cover. However, to what degree belowground fungal communities are affected by the gradient is much poorer understood. In this ...
