Diachronic trends among Early Mesolithic site types? A study from the coast of central Norway
(Chapter, 2020)This chapter explores site-type variability in the course of the Early Mesolithic at the coast of central Norway. The Early Mesolithic was a period of great alterations in climate, landscape and oceanic environment. The ... -
Setting reference levels and limits for good ecological condition in terrestrial ecosystems – Insights from a case study based on the IBECA approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Effective evidence-based nature conservation and habitat management relies on developing and refining our methodological toolbox for detecting critical ecological changes at an early stage. This requires not only optimizing ... -
Holo-Omics: Integrated Host-Microbiota Multi-omics for Basic and Applied Biological Research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)From ontogenesis to homeostasis, the phenotypes of complex organisms are shaped by the bidirectional interactions between the host organisms and their associated microbiota. Current technology can reveal many such interactions ... -
Evolutionary History, Genomic Adaptation to Toxic Diet, and Extinction of the Carolina Parakeet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As the only endemic neotropical parrot to have recently lived in the northern hemisphere, the Carolina parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) was an iconic North American bird. The last surviving specimen died in the Cincinnati ... -
Using in silico predicted ancestral genomes to improve the efficiency of paleogenome reconstruction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Paleogenomics is the nascent discipline concerned with sequencing and analysis of genome‐scale information from historic, ancient, and even extinct samples. While once inconceivable due to the challenges of DNA damage, ... -
Darwin's Fancy Revised: An Updated Understanding of the Genomic Constitution of Pigeon Breeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Through its long history of artificial selection, the rock pigeon (Columba livia Gmelin 1789) was forged into a large number of domestic breeds. The incredible amount of phenotypic diversity exhibited in these breeds has ... -
Pre-extinction demographic stability and genomic signatures of adaptation in the woolly rhinoceros
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ancient DNA has significantly improved our understanding of the evolution and population history of extinct megafauna. However, few studies have used complete ancient genomes to examine species responses to climate change ... -
Bone biodeterioration—The effect of marine and terrestrial depositional environments on early diagenesis and bone bacterial community
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Bacteria play an important role in the degradation of bone material. However, much remains to be learnt about the structure of their communities in degrading bone, and how the depositional environment influences their ... -
Quality issues in georeferencing: From physical collections to digital data repositories for ecological research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Natural history collections constitute an enormous wealth of information of Life on Earth. It is estimated that over 2 billion specimens are preserved at institutions worldwide, of which less than 10% are accessible via ... -
Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and characterizing biodiversity1,2,3,4. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to confound phylogenetic inference5, and captures ... -
Beyond DNA barcoding: The unrealized potential of genome skim data in sample identification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Genetic tools are increasingly used to identify and discriminate between species. One key transition in this process was the recognition of the potential of the ca 658bp fragment of the organelle cytochrome c oxidase I ... -
The taxonomic significance of ddRADseq based microsatellite markers in the closely related species of Heracleum (Apiaceae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many studies on Heracleum have shown poor correspondence between observed molecular clusters and established taxonomic classification amongst closely related species. This might reflect both unresolved taxonomy but perhaps ... -
The impact of thermal seasonality on terrestrial endotherm food web dynamics: a revision of the Exploitation Ecosystem Hypothesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many terrestrial endotherm food webs constitute three trophic level cascades. Others have two trophic level dynamics (food limited herbivores; plants adapted to tackle intense herbivory) or one trophic level dynamic ... -
Crossing the ice: an Iron Age to medieval mountain pass at Lendbreen, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mountain passes have played a key role in past mobility, facilitating transhumance, intra-regional travel and long-distance exchange. Current global warming has revealed an example of such a pass at Lendbreen, Norway. ... -
Sølendet naturreservat og Tågdalen naturreservat - Årsrapport og oversyn over aktiviteten i 2019
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet naturhistorisk notat;, Research report, 2020)Denne rapporten gir eit oversyn over den faglege aktiviteten i naturreservata Sølendet i Brekken og Tågdalen i Surnadal knytt mot forsking, forvaltning og formidling i 2019, med vekt på langtidsstudiar og overvaking av ... -
Forslag til nye definisjoner av slåttemark, slåttemyr og kystlynghei som utvalgte naturtyper basert på lokalitetskvalitet
(NIBIO Rapport;, Research report, 2020)Slåttemark, slåttemyr og kystlynghei er utvalgte naturtyper (UN) i følge naturmangfoldloven. Formålet med utvalgte naturtyper er å ivareta naturtyper innenfor deres naturlige utbredelsesområde og med det artsmangfoldet og ... -
Multi-omic detection of Mycobacterium leprae in archaeological human dental calculus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mineralized dental plaque (calculus) has proven to be an excellent source of ancient biomolecules. Here we present a Mycobacterium leprae genome (6.6-fold), the causative agent of leprosy, recovered via shotgun sequencing ... -
