A molecular-based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference ... -
Molekylær systematikk og artsavgrensning av Coniocarpon og Arthonia punctiformis s.lat. (Arthoniaceae) i Norge
(Master thesis, 2019)Mangfoldet og utbredelsen av mange grupper skorpelav er ukjent, mye på grunn av homoplasi og fenotypisk plastisitet. Mange lav fungerer som indikator arter for habitatkvalitet og er dermed av stor betydning innen ... -
Monitoring Algal Blooms with Complementary Sensors on Multiple Spatial and Temporal Scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Monitoring and modelling of influent patterns, phase distribution and removal of 20 elements in two primary wastewater treatment plants in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many small- or medium-sized communities in Northern Europe employ only primary wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and effluent discharges can be a relevant source of pollution. The current study combines monitoring and ... -
Monitoring regional benthic environment of Norwegian salmon cage farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The influence of cage aquaculture on the benthic environment is a crucial concern for sustainable development. The impacts are affected by multiple environmental factors and aquaculture operations. Our main objective was ... -
Monogenean parasites of sardines in Lake Tanganyika: diversity, origin and intraspecific variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Whereas Lake Tanganyika’s littoral and benthic zones are famous for their diverse fish communities, its pelagic zone is dominated by few species, of which two representatives of Clupeidae (Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa ... -
Monotonicity is a key feature of genotype-phenotype maps
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)It was recently shown that monotone gene action, i.e., order-preservation between allele content and corresponding genotypic values in the mapping from genotypes to phenotypes, is a prerequisite for achieving a predictable ... -
Moon phase and season alter road use by lions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Roads within protected areas facilitate management and tourism but can also alter animal movements and foraging opportunities. Animal tracks observed along roads are also used to index species distributions and abundance. ... -
Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Habitat alteration by humans may change the supply of food and cover for wild ungulates, but few studies have examined how these resources are utilised over time by individuals of different sex and reproductive status. We ... -
Moose browsing effects on boreal production forests – implications for ecosystems and human society
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:286, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Sammendrag: Den viktige elgen Utmarkbeite er trolig den mest utbredte arealbruken i Norge, som i verden forøvrig. Etter at mengden beitende husdyr begynte å ned på midten av forrige århundre har ville hjortedyr tatt ... -
Moose effects on soil temperatures, tree canopies, and understory vegetation: a path analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Large vertebrate herbivores are ubiquitous and increasingly numerous in boreal forests where they are known to influence ecosystems in many ways. However, separating the direct effects of herbivores from their indirect ... -
Moose in our neighborhood: Does perceived hunting risk have cascading effects on tree performance in vicinity of roads and houses?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans ... -
The Moran effect revisited: spatial population synchrony under global warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The world is spatially autocorrelated. Both abiotic and biotic properties are more similar among neighboring than distant locations, and their temporal co-fluctuations also decrease with distance. P. A. P. Moran realized ... -
More frequent extreme climate events stabilize reindeer population dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Extreme climate events often cause population crashes but are difficult to account for in population-dynamic studies. Especially in long-lived animals, density dependence and demography may induce lagged impacts of ... -
Morfologiske relasjonar til dyrka Saccharina latissima ved tre stasjonar langs Norskekysten
(Master thesis, 2018)Makroalgar har i tusenvis av år blitt brukt til mat og andre føremål over heile verda, og land som Kina, Korea og Japan har ein lang tradisjon for kultivering av tare. I Europa derimot er taren hovudsakleg hausta frå ville ... -
Morphological Characterization of Descending Neurons and Determination of Output areas in the Brain of the Moth Heliothis virescens
(Master thesis, 2012)Knowledge on how an insect s behavior changes in response to chemical substances in the environment can ultimately contribute to the development of biologically harmless pest controls. One of the links between sensory ... -
Morphological development of wild leptocephalus larvae of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) - With special emphasis on muscle and digestive system
(Master thesis, 2015)The larval stage of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is largely undescribed. Increased knowledge about the ontogeny of the eel is be of interest both in an ecological perspective, but also in relation to a conservation, ... -
Morphological Diversity in Laminaria digitata: -different Species or different Phenotypes?
(Master thesis, 2014)Laminaria digitata-like specimens from the Trondheimsfjord, Hitra and Svalbard were studied using traditional morphological characteristics together with DNA barcoding of the mtDNA COI-gene. The phylogenetic analyses based ... -
Mortality and transcriptional effects of inorganic mercury in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Inorganic mercury (Hg) is highly toxic to organisms including crustaceans and displays multiple toxic modes of action (MoA). The main aim of this investigation was to assess the acute and sublethal toxicity mediated by ... -
Mothers with higher twinning propensity had lower fertility in pre-industrial Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Historically, mothers producing twins gave birth, on average, more often than non-twinners. This observation has been interpreted as twinners having higher intrinsic fertility – a tendency to conceive easily irrespective ...
