Generation time and seasonal migration explain variation in spatial population synchrony across European bird species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Spatial population synchrony is common among populations of the same species and is an important predictor of extinction risk. Despite the potential consequences for metapopulation persistence, we still largely lack ... -
Generic Ecological Impact Assessment of Alien Species (GEIAA): the third generation of assessments in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Generic Ecological Impact Assessment of Alien Species (GEIAA) is described. It comprises a set of criteria and an assessment procedure. The set of criteria consists of three criteria that quantify invasion potential, ... -
Genetic and environmental effects on the scaling of metabolic rate with body size
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Metabolic rate (MR) often scales with body mass (BM) following a power function of the form MR=aBMb, where log(a) is the allometric intercept and b is the allometric exponent (i.e. slope on a log–log scale). The variational ... -
Genetic and Phytochemical diversity in Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) from a limited Geographical Area
(Master thesis, 2011)In Norway today no commercial exploitation of the wild growing Norwegian bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) exists. The market in other regions of Europe, North- and South-America is based on the utilization of cultivated ... -
Genetic architecture and heritability of early-life telomere length in a wild passerine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Early-life telomere length (TL) is associated with fitness in a range of organisms. Little is known about the genetic basis of variation in TL in wild animal populations, but to understand the evolutionary and ecological ... -
Genetic assignment of individuals to source populations using network estimation tools
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Dispersal, the movement of individuals between populations, is crucial in many ecological and genetic processes. However, direct identification of dispersing individuals is difficult or impossible in natural populations. ... -
Genetic Basis of Variation in Bill Morphology in a Free-Living House Sparrow Metapopulation
(Master thesis, 2017)Bill morphology is an ecologically important trait, which shows substantial phenotypic variation, is highly heritable and is under selection in many bird species. These characteristics underscore the suitability of bill ... -
Genetic Basis of Variation in Litter Size in Scandinavian Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)
(Master thesis, 2018)The environment is in constant change, where rapid shifts is often due to human interference. To understand the mechanisms driving phenotypic change in ecologically important traits, knowledge of the genetic basis of these ... -
Genetic consequences of conservation action: Restoring the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Fennoscandia experienced a drastic bottleneck in the late 19th century as a result of high hunting pressure. In the 1990s, despite nearly 70 years of protection, the population ... -
Genetic consequences of conservation management: the case of the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) in Scandinavia
(Master thesis, 2017)The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Fennoscandia experienced a drastic demographic and genetic bottleneck in the early 20th century as a result of high hunting pressure. In 2000, despite almost 70 years of ... -
Genetic divergence and speciation in northern peatmosses (Sphagnum)

Genetic Predisposition and Changes in Dietary Patterns may contribute to increased Development of Type 2 Diabetes in the Chinese Population
(Master thesis, 2013)Lifestyle diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), arerelated to overweight in the western world. Although lower occurrence of overweight hasbeen documented in China compared to western ... -
Genetic rescue of an endangered domestic animal through outcrossing with closely related breeds: A case study of the Norwegian Lundehund
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Genetic rescue, outcrossing with individuals from a related population, is used to augment genetic diversity in populations threatened by severe inbreeding and extinction. The endangered Norwegian Lundehund dog underwent ... -
Genetic variability and structure of the water vole Arvicola amphibius across four metapopulations in northern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Water vole Arvicola amphibius populations have recently experienced severe decline in several European countries as a consequence of both reduction in suitable habitat and the establishment of the alien predator American ... -
Genetic variation and structure in peatmosses (Sphagnum)
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:239, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Further work should include morphological studies of these species to see if there are morphological differences between genetic groups. This can give an indication of individuals in the Pacific region and the ones ... -
Genetic variation and structure of house sparrow populations: is there an island effect?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Population genetic structure and intrapopulation levels of genetic variation have important implications for population dynamics and evolutionary processes. Habitat fragmentation is one of the major threats to biodiversity. ... -
Genetic Variation in Metabolic Rate and Correlations with Other Energy Budget Components and Life History in Daphnia magna
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Much is known about the genetic variance in certain components of metabolism, most notably resting and maximum metabolic rate. This is in stark contrast to the lack of information on genetic variance in the metabolic rate ... -
Genome editing in diatoms: achievements and goals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Diatoms are major components of phytoplankton and play a key role in the ecology of aquatic ecosystems. These algae are of great scientific importance for a wide variety of research areas, ranging from marine ecology and ... -
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 ... -
