Change in Thermal Metabolic Rate Reaction Norms of Daphnia in Response to Rearing Temperature
(Master thesis, 2013)Temperature is an important environmental factor that affects the distribution of organisms. It affects the biochemical and physiological processes which are the basis of life. The metabolic cold adaptation (MCA) hypothesis ... -
Change in vegetation composition and growth in the forest-tundra ecotone – effects of climate warming and herbivory
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:321, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Overgangen mellom tett skog og fjellområder, skog-tundra-økotonen, er globalt sett i stor grad regulert av temperatur. Økt temperatur som følge av klimaendringer forventes å påvirke økotonen, med høydeforflytning av ... -
Changes in freshwater zooplankton communities in response to invasive planktivorous fish
(Master thesis, 2020)Cladocera samfunnets respons til invasjon av planktivore fisk ble vurdert ved hjelp av et BACI (befor-after-control-impact) studiedesign. Hypotesen som ble testet var om sik og abbor forårsaket en endring i cladocera ... -
Changes in greening in the High Arctic - insights from a 30-year AVHRR max NDVI dataset for Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Satellite-aided studies ofvegetation cover, biomass and productivity are becoming increasingly important for monitoring the effects ofa changing climate on the biosphere. With their large spatial coverage and good temporal ... -
Changes in hormone profiles in relation to ultrasound-determined testis maturation during a reproductive cycle in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2016)At present, fully mature males are identified by checking for running milt by palpitation during gamete production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Ultrasound (US) technology could provide a cheap and fast method to monitor ... -
Changes in the use of agricultural land in an urban municipality
(Master thesis, 2021)Sammendrag Jordbruksareal er utsatt for press til andre formål enn jordbruk i urbane områder, på grunn av populasjonsvekst og urbanisering. Dette skyldes økt etterspørsel etter areal til boliger, infrastruktur, industri ... -
Changes in water temperature and oxygen: the effect of triploidy on performance and metabolism in large farmed Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In salmon farming, the use of sterile triploids (3N) can mitigate the problem of escapees interbreeding with wild salmon. However, triploid salmon appear less tolerant to high water temperatures and low oxygen levels ... -
Changing salinity regimes in the San Francisco Estuary system due to climate change: Can we anticipate and manage the coming changes?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate change-driven sea level rise and altered precipitation regimes are predicted to alter patterns of salt intrusion within the San Francisco Estuary. A central question is: Can we use existing knowledge and future ... -
Characterisation of changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) sludge at different redox stages.
(Master thesis, 2021)The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a highly diverse and important part of the marine carbon cycle and can be altered by microorganisms. This study was conducted to gain further knowledge about changes in DOC ... -
Characterisation of Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines through Proteomic Profiling of Their Extracellular Vesicles

Characterising functional venom profiles of anthozoans and medusozoans within their ecological context
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This review examines the current state of knowledge regarding toxins from anthozoans (sea anemones, coral, zoanthids, corallimorphs, sea pens and tube anemones). We provide an overview of venom from phylum Cnidaria and ... -
Characteristics determining host suitability for a generalist parasite
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Host quality is critical for parasites. The common cuckoo Cuculus canorus is a generalist avian brood parasite, but individual females show strong preference for a specific host species. Here, we use three extensive datasets ... -
Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic lines expressing synthetic heavy metal binding oligopeptides
(Master thesis, 2017)Heavy metal pollution is an increasing environmental problem, and their bio-toxic effects are of great concern. Some organisms have developed strategies to withstand metal excess. A particular case is the so-called metal ... -
Characterization of Cellular Effects of Insulin in SW982 Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes
(Master thesis, 2014)A Western diet is characterized by several components, but the main traits are a substantial consumption of red meats, refined carbohydrates and saturated fatty acids. Poor dietary choices and a low level of physical ... -
Characterization of epithio- and nitrile-specifier proteins: in vitro activities and in planta gene expression patterns
(Master thesis, 2010)The glucosinolate-myrosinase system has long been considered as a strategy for host defensein Capparales plants. The degradation products from the myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of glucosinolates have been shown to be ... -
Characterization of fin whale song off the Western Antarctic Peninsula
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Song is produced by a variety of terrestrial and marine animals and is particularly common among baleen whales. Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) song is comprised of relatively simple 20 Hz pulses produced at regular ... -
Characterization of functionally different projection neurons in the olfactory pathway of the male moth, Heliothis virescens
(Master thesis, 2014)Most organisms, ranging from mammals to bacteria, are dependent of their sense of smell in order to survive and reproduce. In moths, the detection of odorants is performed by olfactory sensory neurons located on the antenna. ... -
Characterization of habitat requirements of European fishing spiders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Wetlands are among the most threatened habitats in the world, and so are their species, which suffer habitat loss due to climate and land use changes. Freshwater species, and especially arthropods, receive comparatively ... -
