Removing the bad apples: A simple bioinformatic method to improve loci-recovery in de novo RADseq data for non-model organisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)1. The restriction site-associated DNA (RADseq) family of protocols involves digesting DNA and sequencing the region flanking the cut site, thus providing a cost and time-efficient way for obtaining thousands of genomic ... -
Vandringer til sjøørret i Fustavassdraget, Nordland
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet naturhistorisk notat;, Research report, 2022)Etter at laksen i Vefsnområdet ble angrepet av parasitten Gyrodactylus salaris på slutten av 1970-tallet, ble laksetrappa i Fusta stengt for oppgang av anadrom fisk (sjøørret og laks) i 1992. I årene 2011 og 2012 ble det ... -

Combining population genomics and ecological niche modeling to assess taxon limits between Carex jemtlandica and C. lepidocarpa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Carex section Ceratocystis (Cyperaceae) is a group of recently evolved plant species, in which hybridization is frequent, introgression is documented, taxonomy is complex, and morphological boundaries are vague. Within ... -
Beyond ecological opportunity: prey diversity rather than abundance shapes predator niche variation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ecological opportunity (i.e. the diversity of available resources) has a pivotal role in shaping niche variation and trophic specialisation of animals. However, ecological opportunity can be described with regard to both ... -
Long-term responses of benthic invertebrates to rotenone treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Biological invasions are regarded as one of the largest threats to native biodiversity. The eradication of alien invasive fish or parasites by culling of hosts is a controversial conservation strategy, particularly when ... -
On a Mountain High: Finding and Documenting Glacial Archaeological Sites During the Anthropocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Glacial archaeology is a developing field, brought on by climate change. High mountain ice is melting, which has led to the exposure of artifacts in North America, Mongolia, the Alps, and Scandinavia. The highest number ... -
