Analyzing the Impacts of Elevated-CO2 Levels on the Development of a Subtropical Zooplankton Community During Oligotrophic Conditions and Simulated Upwelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Ocean acidification (OA) is affecting marine ecosystems through changes in carbonate chemistry that may influence consumers of phytoplankton, often via trophic pathways. Using a mesocosm approach, we investigated OA effects ... -
Anchoring plant metallothioneins to the inner face of the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells leads to heavy metal accumulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this study we engineered yeast cells armed for heavy metal accumulation by targeting plant metallothioneins to the inner face of the yeast plasma membrane. Metallothioneins (MTs) are cysteine-rich proteins involved in ... -
Ancient origin and maternal inheritance of blue cuckoo eggs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Maternal inheritance via the female-specific W chromosome was long ago proposed as a potential solution to the evolutionary enigma of co-existing host-specific races (or ‘gentes’) in avian brood parasites. Here we report ... -
«Andre stoffer» – Lecitin fra solsikke. Uttalelse fra faggruppen for tilsetningsstoffer, aroma, matemballasje og kosmetikk
(VKM Report;, Research report, 2017)Faggruppen for tilsetningsstoffer, aroma, matemballasje og kosmetikk, Vitenskapskomiteen for mattrygghet (VKM), har fått i oppdrag av Mattilsynet å risikovurdere «andre stoffer», deriblant lecitin. Siden European Food ... -
Animal Models and Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Animal models are generalized linear mixed models used in evolutionary biology and animal breeding to identify the genetic part of traits. Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) is a methodology for making fast, ... -
Animal models with group-specific additive genetic variances: extending genetic group models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background The animal model is a key tool in quantitative genetics and has been used extensively to estimate fundamental parameters, such as additive genetic variance or heritability. An implicit assumption of animal ... -
An annotated checklist of bryophytes of Europe, Macaronesia and Cyprus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction. Following on from work on the European bryophyte Red List, the taxonomically and nomenclaturally updated spreadsheets used for that project have been expanded into a new checklist for the bryophytes of ... -
Annual ring growth of a widespread high arctic shrub reflects past fluctuations in community‐level plant biomass
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Long time series of primary production are rarely available, restricting our mechanistic understanding of vegetation and ecosystem dynamics under climate change. Dendrochronological tools are increasingly used instead, ... -
Anthropogenic and Environmental factors driving the Human-Elephant Conflict in Myanmar
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:226, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Anthropogenic activities are responsible for accelerating the depletion and deterioration of natural habitats for elephants. Habitat loss and fragmentation cause intense Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) in multiple-use ... -
Anthropogenic and natural influence on disease prevalence at the humanlivestockwildlife interface in the Serengeti ecosystem, Tanzania
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2012:220, Doctoral thesis, 2012)Anthropogenic activities in ecosystems interfere with natural processes and cause habitat fragmentation and loss. Habitat fragmentation and loss restrict wildlife movement between populations consequently reducing the gene ... -
Anthropogenic flank attack on polar bears: interacting consequences of climate warming and pollutant exposure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are subjected to several anthropogenic threats, climate warming and exposure to pollutants being two of these. For polar bears, one of the main effects of climate warming is limited access to ... -
Anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystem health: A comparative multi-proxy investigation of recent sediments in coastal waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hazardous substances entering the sea, and ultimately deposited in bottom sediments, pose a growing threat to marine ecosystems. The present study characterized two coastal areas exposed to significant anthropogenic impact ... -
Anthropogenic Impacts on the Social Structure and Behaviour of Impala (Aepyceros melampus) Populations in Areas of Different Land Use - A case study from the Serengeti Ecosystem, Tanzania
(Master thesis, 2017)The impact of anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife populations in protected areas as vital for management regulations and conservation efforts. Knowledge of how different human activities might impact social structure and ... -
Anti-angiogenic therapy affects the relationship between tumor vascular structure and function: a correlation study between micro-CT angiography and DCE-MRI
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Anti-biofilm properties and immunological response of an immune molecule lectin isolated from shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The study is carried out to understand the antimicrobial and immunological response of a potential immune molecule lectin, MmLec isolated from haemolymph of Speckled shrimp, Metapenaeus monoceros. MmLec was purified using ... -
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of Sclerochloa dura (Poaceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The plant Sclerochloa dura is traditionally used in South-East Serbia to treat menstrual disorders characterized by pain and excessive bleeding. According to subjects’ statements, a reduction in bleeding and pain is ... -
Anti-parasite treatment and blood biochemistry in raptor nestlings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We investigated the effects of parasite removal on various blood clinical–chemical variables (BCCVs). BCCVs are indicators of health, reflecting, e.g., homeostasis of liver, kidney function, and bone metabolism. The study ... -
Anti-vascular effects of the cytosolic phospholipase A2 inhibitor AVX235 in a patient-derived basal-like breast cancer model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) plays an important role in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. It is overexpressed in basal-like breast cancer (BLBC), which is aggressive and usually triple-negative, ... -
