Levels and endocrine disruptive effects of legacy POPs and their metabolites in long-finned pilot whales of the Faroe Islands
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:279, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Pilot whales (Globicephala melas) in the Northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean have high body concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorinated pesticides ... -
Levels and Potential Effects of PCBs, OH-PCBs, OH-PBDEs, and Hg on Plasma Progesterone Levels in Breeding Glaucous Gulls (Larus hyperboreus) from Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2016)Arctic life faces the risk of exposure to a magnitude of anthropogenic pollutants. Due to the chemical stability and persistence of many organic pollutants, they are able to undergo long-range transportation from emission ... -
Levels and Potential Genotoxic Effects of Organohalogenated Contaminants in Seabird Eggs from Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2018)Organohalogenated contaminants (OHCs) have been detected in relative high levels in arctic seabirds and eggs and are of great concern due to their potential toxic effects. OHCs are incorporated into the eggs during egg ... -
Levels and Potential Immunotoxicity of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in White-Tailed Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla), Norway
(Master thesis, 2016)The white-tailed eagle (WTE) is exposed to a wide range of contaminants due to its high trophic position in the marine ecosystem. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent and bioaccumulative ... -
Levels of emerging and traditional organic Pollutants in Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) from Trøndelag. Potential Effects on oxidative Stress.
(Master thesis, 2016)Due to the implemented restrictions and bans of many persistent organic pollutants (POPs), the production and use of alternative chemicals are increasing. The lack of knowledge regarding the environmental occurrence, ... -
Levels of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Feathers of Eurasian Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)In the current study per- and polyfluroalkyl substances (PFASs) were investigated in 72 feathers from Eurasian Eagle-Owls (Bubo bubo) collected in four geographically similar areas in Norway and in six different years. The ... -
Levels of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) nestlings from Norway and Spain and potential effect on innate immune system signalling pathways
(Master thesis, 2018)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative chemicals, which reach high levels in apex predators like birds of prey. Immunomodulation is among the most concerning toxic ... -
Levels, patterns, and biomagnification potential of perfluoroalkyl substances in a terrestrial food chain in a Nordic Skiing Area
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are used in a wide range of consumer products, including ski products, such as ski waxes. However, there is limited knowledge on the release of PFASs from such products into the environment ... -
Lichens facilitate seedling recruitment in alpine heath
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Questions How do mat thickness, physical structure and allelopathic properties of terricolous mat‐forming lichens affect recruitment of vascular plants in dwarf‐shrub and lichen heath vegetation? Location The mountains of ... -
Life and Light at the Dead of Night
(Chapter, 2020)The Polar Nigth as a unique beauty. The aurora borealis, the moonlight, the faint glow of the sun behind white mountains, and, not the least, the mysteries of the living creatures that we have found in the Polar Night – ... -
Life history characteristics and genetic variation in an expanding species, Pogonatum dentatum.
(Doctoral thesis, 2003)The main objective of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the processes behind species range expansions and the consequences for variation in life history characters and genetic variation. The thesis focuses ... -
Life history consequences of environmental variation along ecological gradients in northern ungulates
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2006:15, Doctoral thesis, 2006)Temporal and spatial variation in the environment can influence the performance of individuals in wild ungulate populations. Of particular importance is an understanding of the mechanisms that shape variation in individual ... -
LIFE HISTORY DYNAMICS OF THE SCYPHOZOAN JELLYFISH AURELIA SPP.: A COMBINED META-ANALYSIS AND MODELLING APPROACH
(Master thesis, 2020)One of the most common jellyfish genera are the cnidarian scyphozoans Aurelia spp. They are spread across most of our oceans and seas, have a complex life cycle and are a bloom forming species. Jellyfish blooms are perceived ... -
Life history traits and demography of a mountain bird under climatic variation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:90, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Ongoing climate change can be expected to have major consequences for many species and ecosystems. Effects have been reported on reproduction, survival and movement ecology, with potential impacts for population dynamics ... -
Life-history Effects of Metal contamination in Arctic snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis) breeding in Adventdalen, Svalbard.
(Master thesis, 2016)The present study was the first to investigate element concentrations in feathers of both nestling and adult snow buntings in the Arctic environment of Adventdalen. Significant differences in concentrations between nestling- ... -
Life-history evolution under fluctuating density-dependent selection and the adaptive alignment of pace-of-life syndromes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present a novel perspective on life-history evolution that combines recent theoretical advances in fluctuating density-dependent selection with the notion of pace-of-life syndromes (POLSs) in behavioural ecology. These ... -
Life-history variation and stochastic population dynamics in vertebrates
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2014:177, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Temporal fluctuations in populations are influenced by a large number of factors, including density effects, dispersal, interspecific interactions, and a number of environmental variables. Within populations, individuals ... -
Light and Temperature Effects on Metabolite Concentration in Selected Herbs and Microgreens
