Differential expression profiling of heat stressed tardigrades reveals major shift in the transcriptome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Tardigrades are renowned for their extreme stress tolerance, which includes the ability to endure complete desiccation, high levels of radiation and very low sub-zero temperatures. Nevertheless, tardigrades appear to be ... -
Differential patterns of floristic phylogenetic diversity across a post-glacial landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aim: In this study, we explored spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity (PD) and end-emism in the flora of Norway and tested hypothesized post-glacial environmental drivers of PD, including temperature, precipitation, ... -
Digital dokumentasjon
(Chapter, 2016)Ved KHMs prosjekter har digital dokumentasjon blitt en norm (f.eks. Gjesvold 2004; Samdal 2005; Njøs 2010). E6-prosjektet Gudbrandsdalen har brukt forskjellige digitale metoder for innmåling, dokumentasjon og analyse, og ... -
Discovering dwellings. A study of Late Mesolithic dwelling practices, contexts and attributes based on evidence from Central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This article is based on a study of site formation processes of dwellings, site contexts, and terms relating to dwelling types and attributes. Archaeological evidence discovered during the Ormen Lange project and dated to ... -
Discovery of a silicate rock-boring organism and macrobioerosion in fresh water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Macrobioerosion is a common process in marine ecosystems. Many types of rock-boring organisms break down hard substrates, particularly carbonate rocks and calcareous structures such as dead corals and shells. In paleontology, ... -
Disentangling the identity of Lebertia porosa Thor, 1900 using integrative taxonomy (Acari: Hydrachnidia)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Initial analyses of DNA barcode data from Norwegian populations attributed to the water mite Lebertia porosa Thor, 1900 revealed large genetic divergence and potentially cryptic species level diversity. We used one ... -
Distribution, ecology and biomonitoring studies of epiphytic lichens on conifers
(Gunneria, 0332-8554; 68, Research report, 1994)This study presents the results of investigations of epiphytic lichens on conifers, mainly with a biomonitoring approach. The concentrations of nitrogen and sulphur measured in Hypogynmia physodes at 179 sites on a national ... -
Diverse Sphagnum mosses support rich moss mite communities (Acari, Oribatida) in mires of Western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A study of oribatid mites was carried out in six mires located in western, oceanic parts of Norway. Twenty Sphagnum species of five subgenera were collected from microhabitats representing trophic state and wetness gradients. ... -
Diverse variola virus (smallpox) strains were widespread in northern Europe in the Viking Age
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Humans have a notable capacity to withstand the ravages of infectious diseases. Smallpox killed millions of people but drove Jenner's invention of vaccination, which eventually led to the annihilation of this virus, declared ... -
Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucroniferus). In addition 10 species ... -
Diversity, habitat endemicity and trophic ecology of the fauna of Loki’s Castle vent field on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Loki’s Castle Vent Field (LCVF, 2300 m) was discovered in 2008 and represents the first black-smoker vent field discovered on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR). However, a comprehensive faunal inventory of the LCVF has not ... -

DNA barcode data reveal biogeographic trends in Arctic non-biting midges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Chironomid flies (non-biting midges) are among the most abundant and diverse animals in Arctic regions, but detailed analyses of species distributions and biogeographical patterns are hampered by challenging taxonomy and ... -
DNA barcode reference libraries for the monitoring of aquatic biota in Europe: Gap-analysis and recommendations for future work
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Effective identification of species using short DNA fragments (DNA barcoding and DNA metabarcoding) requires reliable sequence reference libraries of known taxa. Both taxonomically comprehensive coverage and content quality ... -
DNA barcodes and morphology reveal unrecognized species in Chironomidae (Diptera)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)For over a decade, DNA barcoding has proven an effective modern tool in taxonomy, evolutionary biology and biodiversity research. Many new species have been discovered and described with DNA barcodes as part of their ... -
