Climate and land-use drive the functional composition of vascular plant assemblages across Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Traditionally, biogeography has described the distribution of species. But as plant functional traits and functional diversity underpin ecosystem dynamics, understanding drivers of functional diversity at biogeographical ... -
Climate change vulnerability of Arctic char across Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Climate change is anticipated to cause species to shift their ranges upward and poleward, yet space for tracking suitable habitat conditions may be limited for range-restricted species at the highest elevations and latitudes ... -
Co-diversification of an intestinal Mycoplasma and its salmonid host
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Understanding the evolutionary relationships between a host and its intestinal resident bacteria can transform how we understand adaptive phenotypic traits. The interplay between hosts and their resident bacteria inevitably ... -
Coenagrion hastulatum and C. lunulatum – their responses to the liming of acidified lakes and the release of fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The rare and acidification-tolerant Coenagrion lunulatum became extinct in Romundstadtjern, a small acidic lake in southern Norway, at some time between 1950 and 1980. The reason was suspected to be liming of the lake to ... -
Coin finds of Høre stave church, Oppland, Norway: Reflections of regulation and conflict in the Middle Ages
(Chapter, 2021)Scholars have long been drawn to the Valdres Valley and to the Hore stave church, which sits on plateau on its northern slope. Both the building history and the interior of Hore have been published and discussed by number ... -
Combined morphological and molecular data unveils relationships of Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) and reveals higher diversity of this intriguing group of fan worms in Australia, including potentially introduced species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) is a small and heterogeneous group of fan worms found in shallow marine environments and is generally associated with hard substrates. The delineation and composition of this genus ... -
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 ... -
Community structure affects trophic ontogeny in a predatory fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While most studies have focused on the timing and nature of ontogenetic niche shifts, information is scarce about the effects of community structure on trophic ontogeny of top predators. We investigated how community ... -
Comparative analyses of morphological characters in Sphaerodoridae and allies (Annelida) revealed by an integrative microscopical approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Sphaerodoridae is a group of benthic marine worms (Annelida) characterized by the presence of spherical tubercles covering their whole surface. They are commonly considered as belonging to Phyllodocida although sistergroup ... -
Comparative analyses of phytochemical variation within and between congeneric species of Epilobium hirsutum and E. parviflorum: contribution of environmental factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The plants in Epilobium genus are considered to have several important medicinal properties due to unique chemical composition. Although metabolic profiles of medicinal plants are mainly controlled by genetic factors, their ... -
Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Two Native Apple Snail Species (Ampullariidae, Pomacea) from Peruvian Amazon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Apple snails of the genus Pomacea Perry, 1810 (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) are native to the Neotropics and exhibit high species diversity, holding cultural and ecological significance as an important protein ... -
Comparative performance of the BGISEQ-500 vs Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencing platforms for palaeogenomic sequencing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ancient DNA research has been revolutionized following development of next-generation sequencing platforms. Although a number of such platforms have been applied to ancient DNA samples, the Illumina series are the dominant ... -
Comparative transcriptomics reveals candidate carotenoid color genes in an East African cichlid fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Carotenoids contribute significantly to animal body coloration, including the spectacular color pattern diversity among fishes. Fish, as other animals, derive carotenoids from their diet. Following uptake, ... -
Competitors and ruderals go to town: plant community composition and function along an urbanisation gradient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Urbanisation is expected to function as a filter for plant species by changing the physiochemical environment, causing species turnover along an urbanisation gradient. Analyses of the functional traits of species characteristic ... -
The concealed interment of a first-trimester foetus in Gällared Parish Church (1831), Sweden: Age estimation and reconstructed taphonomy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In 2015, during architectural restoration works on the parish church (1831) in Gällared, Sweden, a small wooden box was discovered beneath the floorboards. Unaware of the possible significance of the box and its contents, ... -
