Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation Status of Masai Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi) in Tanzania
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:285, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Globally, biodiversity resources have been in decline since mankind began to keep records of their surrounding environments. With the combination of different natural catastrophes over centuries and human-induced activities, ... -
Ecosystem carbon stocks in Danish deciduous forests: impact of land-use history and management on major carbon pools
(Master thesis, 2023)Skog er viktig karbonsluk, og bidrar med å hjelpe å dempe klimaendringene. Bærekraftig forvaltning av skogen er nødvendig for å kunne maksimere effekten av karbonslukene. Effekten av tidligere arealbruk, og nåværende ... -
Ecotoxicological impacts of surface water and wastewater from conventional and advanced treatment technologies on brood size, larval length, and cytochrome P450 (35A3) expression in Caenorhabditis elegans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Anthropogenic micropollutants and transformation products (TPs) negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and water resources. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) represent major point sources for (micro)pollutants and TPs in ... -
Effect of abandonment of semi-natural grassland on pollinator-mediated selection in Campanula rotundifolia
(Master thesis, 2024)Den eksponentielle veksten av menneskebefolkningen på jorda fører med seg en intensivering av jordbruk som truer mange arter og habitater. Konsekvensen av endringer i hvordan mennesker utnytter landarealer er tap og ... -
Effect of Cadmium on the marine diatoms Seminavis robusta and Phaeodactylum tricornutum: A comparative study
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: Heavy metals cause a harmful effect on marine ecosystems because of their toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation properties. Cadmium (Cd) is speculated to be a unique heavy metal due to its diverse toxic ... -
Effect of Calibration Data Subsetting on Boolean Model Calibration and Drug Synergy Predictions
(Master thesis, 2023)Kreft er et samlebegrep for en rekke sykdomstilstander som kjennetegnes av unormal og ukontrollert celledeling, og forårsakes av avvikende regulering av ulike cellulære signalveier knyttet til cellevekst og celledød. Med ... -
The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of young by female breeders ... -
Effect of diet on molecular relationships between Atlantic cod larval muscle growth dynamics, metabolism, and antioxidant defense system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We studied molecular effects (RNAseq and qPCR) of first feeding prey types (copepods or rotifers/Artemia) on skeletal muscle myogenesis and growth dynamics (proliferation, differentiation), metabolism (glycolysis, ... -
Effect of dietary ARA/EPA/DHA ratios on growth performance and intermediary metabolism of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) juveniles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Vegetable oils (VO) are generally accepted as valuable alternatives to fish oils but are devoid of n-3 LC-PUFA (Long-Chain-Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) and rich in C18-PUFA. Marine fish have limited capacity to express ... -
Effect of dietary components on the gut microbiota of aquatic animals. A never-ending story?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)It is well known that healthy gut microbiota is essential to promote host health and well-being. The intestinal microbiota of endothermic animals as well as fish are classified as autochthonous or indigenous, when they are ... -
Effect of different dietary arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acid content on selected immune parameters in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increasing replacement of fish oil (FO) by vegetable oils (VO) in aquafeeds for marine carnivorous species may lead to modifications of the dietary arachidonic (ARA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) ... -
Effect of environmental factors on growth and development of Phaeodactylum tricornutum
(Master thesis, 2023)Diatoms are eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms found in marine and freshwater environments as primary producers accounting for ~20% of total world photosynthetic output and ~50% of oceanic biomass. Diatoms are of industrial ... -
Effect of experimentally increased adult foraging effort on the offspring in black legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
(Master thesis, 2011)The Black legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) is one of the more extensively studied seagull species, and much of their nesting behaviour and physiology concerning the breeding period has already been examined to a high ... -
