1H NMR metabolic profiling of cod (Gadus morhua) larvae: potential effects of temperature and diet composition during early developmental stages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Marine aquaculture offers a great source of protein for the increasing human population, and farming of, for example, Atlantic salmon is a global industry. Atlantic cod farming however, is an example of a promising industry ... -
A burning question: what are the risks and benefits of mammalian torpor during and after fires?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Although wildfires are increasing globally, available information on how mammals respond behaviourally and physiologically to fires is scant. Despite a large number of ecological studies, often examining animal diversity ... -
A comparative study of diploid versus triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The effects of rearing temperatures (5, 10 and 15 °C) on raw material characteristics and storage quality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Several major market operators argue that the current level of knowledge about quality is too scant to justify a switch to a large-scale production of triploid salmon. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to elucidate ... -
A Complex Interaction between Rickettsia conorii and Dickkopf-1 - Potential Role in Immune Evasion Mechanisms in Endothelial Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The pathophysiological hallmark of spotted fever group rickettsioses comprises vascular inflammation. Based on the emerging importance of the wingless (Wnt) pathways in inflammation and vascular biology, we hypothesized ... -
A comprehensive evaluation of predictive performance of 33 species distribution models at species and community levels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A large array of species distribution model (SDM) approaches has been developed for explaining and predicting the occurrences of individual species or species assemblages. Given the wealth of existing models, it is unclear ... -
A CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted for gene editing in marine algae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Here we report that the CRISPR/Cas9 technology can be used to efficiently generate stable targeted gene mutations in microalgae, using the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a model species. Our vector design opens ... -
A Crude Awakening: Effects of Crude Oil on Lipid Metabolism in Calanoid Copepods Terminating Diapause
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus glacialis are keystone zooplankton species in North Atlantic and Arctic marine ecosystems because they form a link in the trophic transfer of nutritious lipids from phytoplankton to predators ... -
A global compilation of coccolithophore calcification rates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The biological production of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a process termed calcification, is a key term in the marine carbon cycle. A major planktonic group responsible for such pelagic CaCO3 production (CP) is the ... -
A high density linkage map enables a second generation collared flycatcher genome assembly and reveals the pattern of avian recombination rate variation and chromosomal evolution.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-17)Detailed linkage and recombination rate maps are necessary to use the full potential of genome sequencing and population genomic analyses. We used a custom collared flycatcher 50 K SNP array to develop a high-density linkage ... -
A high local species richness and biodiversity within high-latitude calcareous aggregates of tube-building polychaetes

A mixture model approach to sample size estimation in two- sample comparative microarray experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background: Choosing the appropriate sample size is an important step in the design of a microarray experiment, and recently methods have been proposed that estimate sample sizes for control of the False Discovery Rate ... -
A new NDVI measure that overcomes data sparsity in cloud-covered regions predicts annual variation in ground-based estimates of high arctic plant productivity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Efforts to estimate plant productivity using satellite data can be frustrated by the presence of cloud cover. We developed a new method to overcome this problem, focussing on the high-arctic archipelago of Svalbard where ... -
A novel compound isolated from Sclerochloa dura has anti-inflammatory effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) by means of pro-inflammatory cytokines results in the subsequent release of arachidonic acid (AA) and generates eicosanoids, which further propagate inflammation. Through cyclooxygenases ... -
A physiological understanding of organismal responses to fire
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Devastation of both natural and human habitats due to wildfires is becoming an increasingly prevalent global issue. Fire-adapted and fire-prone regions, such as California and parts of Australia, are experiencing more ... -
A review of ecological impacts of global climate change on persistent organic pollutant and mercury pathways and exposures in arctic marine ecosystems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Bioaccumulative and biomagnifying contaminants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury (Hg), have for decades been recognized as a health concern in arctic marine biota. In recent years, global climate ... -
A sex-inducing pheromone triggers cell cycle arrest and mate attraction in the diatom Seminavis robusta
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Although sexual reproduction is believed to play a major role in the high diversification rates and species richness of diatoms, a mechanistic understanding of diatom life cycle control is virtually lacking. Diatom sexual ... -
A shift in the thermoregulatory curve as a result of selection for high activity-related aerobic metabolism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)According to the “aerobic capacity model,” endothermy in birds and mammals evolved as a result of natural selection favoring increased persistent locomotor activity, fuelled by aerobic metabolism. However, this also increased ... -
A spatio-temporally explicit random encounter model for large-scale population surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Random encounter models can be used to estimate population abundance from indirect data collected by non-invasive sampling methods, such as track counts or camera-trap data. The classical Formozov–Malyshev–Pereleshin (FMP) ... -
A systemic study of lipid metabolism regulation in salmon fingerlings and early juveniles fed plant oil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In salmon farming, the scarcity of fish oil has driven a shift towards the use of plant-based oil from vegetable or seed, leading to fish feed low in long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) and cholesterol. Atlantic salmon has the ... -
A targeted mass spectrometry immunoassay to quantify osteopontin in fresh-frozen breast tumors and adjacent normal breast tissues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein that can activate cell-signaling pathways and lead to cancer development and metastasis. Elevated OPN expression was reported in different cancer types, including breast tumors. ...
