Changes in the functional diversity of modern bird species over the last million years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Despite evidence of declining biosphere integrity, we currently lack understanding of how the functional diversity associated with changes in abundance among ecological communities has varied over time and before widespread ... -
World Archaeo-Geophysics. Integrated minimally invasive approaches using country-based examples
(One World Archaeology;, Book, 2024)This open access volume showcases the intersection of geophysics and archaeology on a global scale, emphasising the evolution and application of geophysical methods in archaeological research and cultural heritage management. ... -
Purging and accumulation of genetic load in conservation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Our ability to assess the threat posed by the genetic load to small and declining populations has been greatly improved by advances in genome sequencing and computational approaches. Yet, considerable confusion remains ... -

Organically Grown Archaeological Databases and their 'Messiness': Hobby Metal Detecting in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Hobby metal detecting in Norway has grown since 2014. In the Norwegian recording system, all finds are catalogued by professionals at five regional museums. The examination of the dataset thus created allows the authors ... -
Sea turtle shells in the Netherlands: Zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry and stable isotope analysis identify species and provenance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Sea turtles (Cheloniidae) are extremely rare in the Northern European archaeological record; however, sporadic finds have occurred. Here we used bioarchaeological tools to investigate two archaeological sea turtle specimens ... -
Large-scale integrative taxonomy of Swedish grass flies (Diptera, Chloropidae) reveals hitherto unknown complexity of a dark taxon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The study of biodiversity is fundamental to preserving life on Earth but a challenging endeavour due to the taxonomic neglect associated with hyperdiverse lineages. To overcome this problem, we have implemented for the ... -
Immune gene expression and epigenetic potential affect the consumption of risky food by female house sparrows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)When organisms move into new areas, they are likely to encounter novel food resources. Even if they are nutritious, these foods can also be risky, as they might be contaminated by parasites. The behavioural immune system ... -
Does urbanisation lead to parallel demographic shifts across the world in a cosmopolitan plant?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Urbanisation is occurring globally, leading to dramatic environmental changes that are altering the ecology and evolution of species. In particular, the expansion of human infrastructure and the loss and fragmentation of ... -
Unravelling social status in the first medieval military order of the Iberian Peninsula using isotope analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Medieval Iberia witnessed the complex negotiation of religious, social, and economic identities, including the formation of religious orders that played a major role in border disputes and conflicts. While archival records ... -
Squeaky Clean Cellulose: Comparing Pretreatment Effectiveness on Single Tree Rings and Wooden Laths
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Obtaining accurate radiocarbon (14C) results from wood samples requires the extraction of cellulose. In the past, this has been done using different combinations of methods including acidified bleaching, acid-base-acid, ... -
Identification of microbial pathogens in Neolithic Scandinavian humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)With the Neolithic transition, human lifestyle shifted from hunting and gathering to farming. This change altered subsistence patterns, cultural expression, and population structures as shown by the archaeological/zooarc ... -
Risks to Norwegian plant health posed by import of plants with soil or other growing media from Europe

Long-term stability in the circumpolar foraging range of a Southern Ocean predator between the eras of whaling and rapid climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessing environmental changes in Southern Ocean ecosystems is difficult due to its remoteness and data sparsity. Monitoring marine predators that respond rapidly to environmental variation may enable us to track anthropogenic ... -
