Anaesthetic efficacy of Aqui-S, Benzoak, and MS-222 on lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fries. Impact from temperature, salinity, and fasting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Large numbers of lumpfish are produced for the Norwegian salmon industry and are used to combat sea lice infestations. Periodically high mortality of farmed lumpfish demonstrates the need to improve farming conditions and ... -
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 ... -
Clavis: An open and versatile identification key format

Co-Administration of soy isoflavones and Vitamin D in management of irritable bowel disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background and Aims The substantial characteristics of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are associated with estrogens in women. Both soy isoflavones and vitamin D can modulate estrogen receptors in the colonic smooth ... -
Consequences of measurement error in qPCR telomere data: A simulation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The qPCR method provides an inexpensive, rapid method for estimating relative telomere length across a set of biological samples. Like all laboratory methods, it involves some degree of measurement error. The estimation ... -
Contrasting phytoplankton-zooplankton distributions observed through autonomous platforms, in-situ optical sensors and discrete sampling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plankton distributions are remarkably ‘patchy’ in the ocean. In this study, we investigated the contrasting phytoplankton-zooplankton distributions in relation to wind mixing events in waters around a biodiversity-rich ... -
Deficiency syndromes in top predators associated with large-scale changes in the Baltic Sea ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Vitamin B1 (thiamin) deficiency is an issue periodically affecting a wide range of taxa worldwide. In aquatic pelagic systems, thiamin is mainly produced by bacteria and phytoplankton and is transferred to fish and birds ... -
Expression of the Znt1 zinc transporter from the metal hyperaccumulator noccaea caerulescens confers enhanced zinc and cadmium tolerance and accumulation to arabidopsis thaliana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Prompt regulation of transition metal transporters is crucial for plant zinc homeostasis. NcZNT1 is one of such transporters, found in the metal hyperaccumulator Brassicaceae species Noccaea caerulescens. It is orthologous ... -
Identification of tolerance levels on the coldwater coral Desmophyllum pertusum (Lophelia pertusa) from realistic exposure conditions to suspended bentonite, barite and drill cutting particles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cold-water coral (CWC) reefs are numerous and widespread along the Norwegian continental shelf where oil and gas industry operate. Uncertainties exist regarding their impacts from operational discharges to drilling. Effect ... -
Incubation temperature and physiological aging in the zebra finch
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In birds, incubation temperature has received increased attention as an important source of phenotypic variability in offspring. A lower than optimal incubation temperature may negatively affect aspects of nestling physiology, ... -
Molecular Signatures in Arabidopsis thaliana in Response to Insect Attack and Bacterial Infection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Under the threat of global climatic change and food shortages, it is essential to take the initiative to obtain a comprehensive understanding of common and specific defence mechanisms existing in plant systems ... -
New estimates of genome size in Orthoptera and their evolutionary implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
No evidence of host-specific egg mimicry in Asian koels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Avian brood parasitism is costly for the host, in many cases leading to the evolution of defenses like discrimination of parasitic eggs. The parasite, in turn, may evolve mimetic eggs as a counter-adaptation to host egg ... -
NR4A2 is regulated by Gastrin and involved in gastrin-induced migration and invasion of gastric adenocarcinoma cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The peptide hormone gastrin is known to play a role in differentiation, growth and apoptosis of cells in the gastric mucosa. In this study we demonstrate that gastrin induces Nuclear Receptor 4A2 (NR4A2) expression in the ... -
Resource utilization by the Kori bustard in the Serengeti ecosystem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study aimed to understand the movement behaviour and utilization distributions of Kori bustards in space and time in the Serengeti ecosystem. A total of 14 individuals were tracked with the aid of GPS (Geographical ... -
Update on frequency decline of Northeast Pacific blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) calls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Worldwide, the frequency (pitch) of blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) calls has been decreasing since first recorded in the 1960s. This frequency decline occurs over annual and inter-annual timescales and has recently ...
