Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic lines expressing synthetic heavy metal binding oligopeptides
(Master thesis, 2017)Heavy metal pollution is an increasing environmental problem, and their bio-toxic effects are of great concern. Some organisms have developed strategies to withstand metal excess. A particular case is the so-called metal ... -
Differential Allocation in Parental Care - as a Strategy to Retain High Quality Partners
(Master thesis, 2017)The differential allocation hypothesis predicts a trade-off between current and future reproduction that is affected by the attractiveness of the current mate. Here, I present an individual-based simulation model where a ... -
Effects of Experimental Icing and Summer Warming on the Polar Willow Salix polaris on Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2017)The effects of climate change are particularly strong in the Arctic, where temperatures are increasing rapidly. While a clear trend of a more productive and greener Arctic in response to summer warming has been confirmed ... -
Effects of Experimental Winter Icing and Summer Warming on High Arctic Plant Phenology
(Master thesis, 2017)Climate change is expected to have pronounced effects in the Arctic, causing increased temperatures and changes in winter precipitation patterns. For instance, extreme winter rain events often result in ground ice formations ... -
Effects of experimental winter icing and summer warming on high Arctic tundra vascular plants: a comparison of growth forms
(Master thesis, 2017)No other place has experienced such pronounced changes in temperature and precipitation due to climate change, as the terrestrial Arctic. Ecological responses to warmer summers are already well documented, yet the responses ... -
Effects of Variation in Egg Size on Maternal Fitness in a Population of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
(Master thesis, 2018)According to life history theory individuals will optimize investment into growth, reproduction and self-maintenance. Egg size is an important life history trait predicted to have an optimum that maximizes maternal individual ... -
Genome editing of diatoms using CRISPR/Cas9 technology - Creation of LPA2 and LPA3 mutant Phaeodactylum tricornutum strains
(Master thesis, 2017)The diatom (Bacillaryophycea) Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a photosynthetic, unicellular eukaryote phytoplankton, living in freshwaters and oceans. Diatoms are nutritionally suitable as feedstock for the marine culture ... -
Glycerol-3-phosphate and cell wall integrity maintenance mechanism - two sides to the same story?
(Master thesis, 2018)Plants and pathogens are in a constant "arms-race", with the plant cell wall as one of the main battlefields. This arms-race have evolved to complex defense responses in plants against primary infections in local infected ... -
Sex-biased dispersal in water voles (Arvicola amphibius) in northern Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)Dispersal is key to the population dynamic in discrete habitats. There is variation in dispersal rate and range both between and within species, based on environmental variation and between both populations and individuals. ... -
The Role of Education in Conservation Biology - Can Knowledge and Understanding alter Locals' Views and Attitudes towards Ecosystem Services?
(Master thesis, 2016)The aim of this study was to test if human knowledge, views and attitudes toward ecosystem services and biodiversity alter after a four-day education project. Climate change, human population growth and land use change are ... -
The role of rural education programs on Conservation Biology - Unravelling and possibly affect the understanding of ecosystem services and attitudes toward nature amongst people living in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem
(Master thesis, 2018)Today, human-induced impacts like climate change, human population growth and land use change are negatively affecting the biodiversity and ecosystems, which are important for human well-being. Africa is amongst the places ...
