An interspecific assessment of Bergmann’s rule in 22 mammalian families
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Bergmann’s rule proposes that animals in cold habitats will be larger than those in warm habitats. This prediction has been tested thoroughly at the intraspecific level, but few studies have investigated the ... -
An oil containing EPA and DHA from transgenic Camelina sativa to replace marine fish oil in feeds for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): Effects on intestinal transcriptome, histology, tissue fatty acid profiles and plasma biochemistry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)New de novo sources of omega 3 (n-3) long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) are required as alternatives to fish oil in aquafeeds in order to maintain adequate levels of the beneficial fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic ... -
Anaesthetic efficacy of Aqui-S, Benzoak, and MS-222 on lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fries. Impact from temperature, salinity, and fasting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Large numbers of lumpfish are produced for the Norwegian salmon industry and are used to combat sea lice infestations. Periodically high mortality of farmed lumpfish demonstrates the need to improve farming conditions and ... -
Analyses of charophyte chloroplast genomes help characterize theancestral chloroplastgenomeof land plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Despite the significance of the relationships between embryophytes and their charophyte algal ancestors in deciphering the origin and evolutionary success of land plants, few chloroplast genomes of the charophyte algae ... -
Analysis of polyphenols and cyclic compounds in plants using derivatization techniques in combination with GC-MS-based metabolite profiling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Metabolite profiling has been established as a modern technology platform for the description of complex chemical matrices and compound identification in biological samples. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry ... -
Analyzing dynamic species abundance distributions using generalized linear mixed models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding the mechanisms of ecological community dynamics and how they could be affected by environmental changes is important. Population dynamic models have well known ecological parameters that describe key ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -

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)
