Contributions from terrestrial and marine resources stabilize predator populations in a rapidly changing climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Climate change has different and sometimes divergent effects on terrestrial and marine food webs, and in coastal ecosystems, these effects are tightly interlinked. Responses of opportunistic coastal predators and scavengers ... -
Contributions of the EMERALD project to assessing and improving microarray data quality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)While minimum information about a microarray experiment (MIAME) standards have helped to increase the value of the microarray data deposited into public databases like ArrayExpress and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), limited ... -
Controlling for P-value inflation in allele frequency change in experimental evolution and artificial selection experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Experimental evolution studies can be used to explore genomic response to artificial and natural selection. In such studies, loci that display larger allele frequency change than expected by genetic drift alone are assumed ... -
Conventional and nano-copper pesticides are equally toxic to the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Modern nano-engineered pesticides have great promise for agriculture due to their extended, low dose release profiles that are intended to increase effectiveness but reduce environmental harm. Whether nanopesticides, ... -
Convergent evolution of pain-inducing defensive venom components in spitting cobras
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Convergent evolution provides insights into the selective drivers underlying evolutionary change. Snake venoms, with a direct genetic basis and clearly defined functional phenotype, provide a model system for exploring the ... -
The Copenhagen Actinic Keratosis Study (COAKS). A decentralised clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of daily field-directed topical treatment with cytosolic phospholipase A<inf>2</inf> inhibitor, AVX001, in participants with actinic keratosis: protocol for a randomised controlled phase I/IIa trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)ntroduction Actinic keratosis (AK) is the most common precancerous skin condition caused by long-term UV exposure. Given the high recurrence rate of 15%–53%, identifying safe and effective treatment options is warranted. ... -
Copepods boost the production but reduce the carbon export efficiency by diatoms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The fraction of net primary production that is exported from the euphotic zone as sinking particulate organic carbon (POC) varies notably through time and from region to region. Phytoplankton containing biominerals, such ... -
Copepods enhance nutritional status, growth and development in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae – can we identify the underlying factors?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The current commercial production protocols for Atlantic cod depend on enriched rotifers and Artemia during first-feeding, but development and growth remain inferior to fish fed natural zooplankton. Two experiments were ... -
Coping with a changing environment: The effects of early life stress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Ongoing rapid domestication of Atlantic salmon implies that individuals are subjected to evolutionarily novel stressors encountered under conditions of artificial rearing, requiring new levels and directions of flexibility ... -
Correlated velocity models as a fundamental unit of animal movement: Synthesis and applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Continuous time movement models resolve many of the problems with scaling, sampling, and interpretation that affect discrete movement models. They can, however, be challenging to estimate, have been presented ... -
Correlation between microbiota and growth in Mangrove Killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The vertebrate gut is host to large communities of bacteria, and one of the beneficial contributions of this commensal gut microbiota is the increased nutritional gain from feed components that the host cannot degrade on ... -
Corticosterone mediates carry-over effects between breeding and migration in the kittiwake Rissa tridactyla
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Carry-over effects, i.e. when processes in one season influence processes in the next, are believed to have important effects on behavior and fitness in animals. Despite an increasing interest in the identification of ... -
Cortisol measurements in female whiskered bats (Myotis mystacinus) during an extraordinarily warm and dry Norwegian summer
(Master thesis, 2019)Fysiologisk stress påvirker flere aspekter av tilværelsen for dyr i det fri, spesielt evnen til vekst, reproduksjon og immunrespons. Dette fenomenet utløses av uønskede miljømessige eller sosiale forhold, og fasiliters ... -
Cost of migration in moose (Alces alces) with regard to mortality risk and locomotion
(Master thesis, 2011)Summary1. Migration is present in all animal taxa and is defined as a periodic movement pattern between given ranges. Migratory individuals generally move more directional and with higher speed than stationary individuals ... -
Cost of rapid growthin salmonid fishes

Costs and benefits associated with natural resource exploitation in Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary in Myanmar, and its impact on thamin (Rucervus eldii thamin) conservation
(Master thesis, 2017)The conservation of wildlife in the Anthropocene inevitably depends on an understanding of how human populations interact with wildlife and its habitat. This involves understanding (1) how they exploit the natural resources ... -
Covarying Behaviours and Innovation in a House Sparrow Metapopulation - Implications for Social Foraging
(Master thesis, 2016)Individuals in populations of many species have been found to differ consistently in suites of correlating behavioural measures. These phenomena appear to be heritable and subject to selection, thus making it as important ... -
cPLA2α Enzyme Inhibition Attenuates Inflammation and Keratinocyte Proliferation
(Journal article, 2020)As a regulator of cellular inflammation and proliferation, cytosolic phospholipase A2 α (cPLA2α) is a promising therapeutic target for psoriasis; indeed, the cPLA2α inhibitor AVX001 has shown efficacy against plaque psoriasis ... -
Cratering behaviour and faecal C:N ratio in relation to seasonal snow-pack characteristics in a High-Arctic ungulate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Snow and ice determine winter forage availability for Arctic herbivores. Winter precipitation is anticipated to increase, and icing following warm spells and rain-on-snow (ROS) are likely to become more frequent. While ... -
Creation and preliminary characterization of LHCR6/LHCR8 single and double knockout strains of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
