A test of priority effect persistence in semi-natural grasslands through the removal of plant functional groups during community assembly
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background:It is known that during plant community assembly, the early colonizing species can affect the estab-lishment, growth or reproductive success of later arriving species, often resulting in unpredictable assembly ... -
A unified framework for analysis of individual-based models in ecology and beyond
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Individual-based models,‘IBMs’, describe naturally the dynamics of interacting organisms orsocial orfinancial agents. They are considered too complex for mathematical analysis, butcomputer simulations of them cannot give ... -
A Versatile and Robust Serine Protease Inhibitor Scaffold from Actinia tenebrosa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Serine proteases play pivotal roles in normal physiology and a spectrum of patho-physiological processes. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in the discovery and design of potent serine protease inhibitors for ... -
A veterinary perspective on One Health in the Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Exposure to long-range transported industrial chemicals, climate change and diseases is posing a risk to the overall health and populations of Arctic wildlife. Since local communities are relying on the same marine food ... -
Access and openness in biotechnology research collaborations between universities and industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Biotechnology research can spawn broadly useful technology research platforms such as CRISPR/Cas9, which has frequently been criticised as a knowledge monopoly. The access to such technology can be restricted, and utilisation ... -
Acclimation capacity of critical thermal maximum varies among populations: Consequences for estimates of vulnerability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Adaptive plasticity in thermal tolerance traits may buffer organisms against changing temperatures, making such responses of particular interest in the face of global climate change. Although population variation is integral ... -
Accounting for interspecific competition and age structure in demographic analyses of density dependence improves predictions of fluctuations in population size
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Understanding species coexistence has long been a major goal of ecology. Coexistence theory for two competing species posits that intraspecific density dependence should be stronger than interspecific density dependence. ... -
Accounting for phylogenetic relatedness in cross-species analyses of telomere shortening rates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Telomeres are repeating DNA sequences found on the ends of chromosomes, which shorten with age and are implicated in senescence. Cross-species analyses of telomere shortening rates (TSR) and telomere lengths are important ... -
Accounting for Uncertainties in Biodiversity Estimations: A New Methodology and Its Application to the Mesopelagic Sound Scattering Layer of the High Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Measures of biological diversity (biodiversity) are important for monitoring the state of ecosystems. Several indices and methods are used to describe biodiversity from field observations. Marine faunal biodiversity is ... -
Accumulation of (Ag(I) by Saccharomyces cereviseae cells expressing plant metallothioneins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The various applications of Ag(I) generated the necessity to obtain Ag(I)-accumulating organisms for the removal of surplus Ag(I) from contaminated sites or for the concentration of Ag(I) from Ag(I)-poor environments. In ... -
Acute and physical effects of water-based drilling mud in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The aim of this study was to investigate impacts of fine particulate fraction of a commonly used barite-containing drilling mud on the pelagic filter feeding copepod Calanus finmarchicus. The results show that the tested ... -
Acute hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exposure does not cause oxidative stress in late-copepodite stage of Calanus finmarchicus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Use of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for removal of salmon lice in the aquaculture industry has created concern that non-target organisms might be affected during treatment scenarios. The aim of the present study was to examine ... -
Acute stress response on Atlantic salmon: a time-course study of the effects on plasma metabolites, mucus cortisol levels, and head kidney transcriptome profile
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) welfare and performance can be strongly influenced by stress episodes caused by handling during farming practices. To better understand the changes occurring after an acute stress ... -
Acute sulphide toxicity in Perinereis aibuhitensis under different salinities and temperatures: LC50 and antioxidant responses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Sulphide accumulates in sediment due to global aquaculture development and is very harmful to aquatic and benthic ecosystems. Perinereis aibuhitensis inhabits coastal areas and is often exposed to fairly high sulphide ... -
Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ... -
Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ... -
Adaptations and plastic phenotypic responses of marine animals to the environmental challenges of the high intertidal zone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The high intertidal zone is home to an incredible variety of marine animals, as it offers an escape from low intertidal/subtidal predation and competition, among other advantages. However, this area of the shore also comes ... -
Adaptive and non-adaptive divergence in a common landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Species in a common landscape often face similar selective environments. The capacity of organisms to adapt to these environments may be largely species specific. Quantifying shared and unique adaptive responses across ... -
Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between phenotype and environment, i.e. whether observed trait ... -
