Behavioural and demographic changes in impala populations after 15 years of improved conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many protected areas (PAs) have been created globally in response to the dramatic human- induced decline in biodiversity. However, not all PAs successfully preserve their biodiversity and continued monitoring is vital to ... -
Being stressed outside the park — conservation of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The conservation of the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is of prime importance for many African countries. Interactions between elephants and humans are known to induce stress and thereby have the potential ... -
Benchmarking the in Vitro Toxicity and Chemical Composition of Plastic Consumer Products
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Plastics are known sources of chemical exposure and few, prominent plastic-associated chemicals, such as bisphenol A and phthalates, have been thoroughly studied. However, a comprehensive characterization of the complex ... -
Benthic Communities on the Mohn’s Treasure Mound: Implications for Management of Seabed Mining in the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Mohn’s Treasure, described as an inactive sulfide mound, was discovered at 2,600- m depth on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR) in 2002. In 2015, we conducted the first biological survey of Mohn’s Treasure using remotely ... -
Benthic scavenger community composition and carrion removal in Arctic and Subarctic fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In high latitude coastal regions, benthic scavenger communities are largely composed of invertebrates that play a key role in the cycling of organic matter. Factors including temperature and depth can structure Arctic and ... -
Benzyl Cyanide Leads to Auxin-Like Effects Through the Action of Nitrilases in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Plants within the Brassicales order generate glucosinolate hydrolysis products that can exert different biological effects on several organisms. Here, we evaluated the physiological effects of one of these compounds, benzyl ... -
Best practice—Is natural revegetation sufficient to achieve mitigation goals in road construction?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aims: The area influenced by road construction is large, and measures to re-establish vegetation in disturbed areas are routinely carried out to reduce impacts on biodiversity. However, goals of mitigation measures are ... -
Bet-hedging across generations can affect the evolution of variance-sensitive strategies within generations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In order to understand how organisms cope with ongoing changes in environmental variability, it is necessary to consider multiple adaptations to environmental uncertainty on different time scales. Conservative bet-hedging ... -
“Beyond being analysts of doom”: scientists on the frontlines of climate action
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
Bioaccumulation of Fluorotelomer Sulfonates and Perfluoroalkyl Acids in Marine Organisms Living in Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Impacted Waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The use of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) has resulted in hot spots polluted with poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs). The phase out of long-chained perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) from AFFFs resulted in the ... -
Bioaccumulation potential of bisphenols and benzophenone UV filters: A multiresidue approach in raptor tissues
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Environmental exposure to bisphenols and benzophenone UV filters has received considerable attention due to the ubiquitous occurrence of these contaminants in the environment and their potential adverse health effects. The ... -
Bioavailability of Macro and Micronutrients Across Global Topsoils: Main Drivers and Global Change Impacts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Understanding the chemical composition of our planet's crust was one of the biggest questions of the 20th century. More than 100 years later, we are still far from understanding the global patterns in the bioavailability ... -
Biochemical changes in superchilled storage of salmon (Salmo salar) fillets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Biochemical changes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fillets during superchilled storage were evaluated. Due to the significant differences in ice crystal sizes observed, the biochemical changes were evaluated both at the ... -
Biochemical composition of Hediste diversicolor (OF Müller, 1776) (Annelida: Nereidae) reared on different types of aquaculture sludge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: Sustainable growth of the salmon aquaculture industry is highly dependent on the availability of new feed resources as well as improved management and utilization of waste streams from production. Polychaetes ... -
Biodegradation of oil spill dispersant surfactants in cold seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)While biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil has been well documented, only a few studies have focused on the degradation of the dispersant compounds themselves. The objective of this study was to determine the ... -
Biodegradation-mediated alterations in acute toxicity of water-accommodated fraction and single crude oil components in cold seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hydrocarbon biodegradation may be slower in cold Arctic than in temperate seawater, and this will affect the toxicity time window of the hydrocarbons. In this study, the acute toxicities of water-soluble phases of ... -
Biofouling on salmon pen nets and cleaner fish shelters does not harbor planktonic stages of sea lice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The objective of the current study was to determine the extent to which planktonic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer, 1838 and Caligus elongatus Nordmann, 1832) were present in the biofouling on open-sea net pens ... -
BioGateway: A Semantic Systems Biology Tool for the Life Sciences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background: Life scientists need help in coping with the plethora of fast growing and scattered knowledge resources. Ideally, this knowledge should be integrated in a form that allows them to pose complex questions that ... -
Bioluminescence as an ecological factor during high Arctic polar night
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Bioluminescence commonly influences pelagic trophic interactions at mesopelagic depths. Here we characterize a vertical gradient in structure of a generally low species diversity bioluminescent community at shallower ...
