Radiocarbon calibration around AD 1900 from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) tree rings from northern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)To resolve an inconsistency around AD 1895 between radiocarbon (14C) measurements on oak from the British Isles and Douglas fir and Sitka spruce from the Pacific Northwest, USA, we measured the 14C content in single-year ... -
The Radiocarbon Sample Archive of Trondheim
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Atmospheric CO2 samples have been collected by the Trondheim Radiocarbon Laboratory since the 1960s. The remaining material from the measurements has been precipitated as CaCO3 and stored in glass containers. We investigated ... -
RADIOCARBON STEP-COMBUSTION OXIDATION METHOD and FTIR ANALYSIS of TRONDHEIM CaCO<inf>3</inf>PRECIPITATES of ATMOSPHERIC CO<inf>2</inf>SAMPLES: FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS and INSIGHTS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Eight atmospheric carbon dioxide samples (as calcium carbonate—CaCO3—precipitates) from Lindesnes site (58ºN, 7ºE), belonging to 1963 and 1980 (four samples from each year) and stored at the National Laboratory for Age ... -
Ramsarområdet Tautra med Svaet: Respons hos vannfugl og bunndyrfauna på bruåpningen i veimoloen ut til Tautra
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet naturhistorisk notat;, Research report, 2015)Tautra ligger i Trondheimsfjorden i Frosta kommune, Nord-Trøndelag. Øya er 3,5 km lang og opptil 1 km bred, og har et areal på ca. 1700 dekar. Svaet er det vidstrakte og grunne sjøområdet ... -
Range-wide and temporal genomic analyses reveal the consequences of near-extinction in Swedish moose
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ungulate species have experienced severe declines over the past centuries through overharvesting and habitat loss. Even if many game species have recovered thanks to strict hunting regulation, the genome-wide impacts of ... -
Rapid discovery of novel prophages using biological feature engineering and machine learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Prophages are phages that are integrated into bacterial genomes and which are key to understanding many aspects of bacterial biology. Their extreme diversity means they are challenging to detect using sequence similarity, ... -
Rapid Parallel Adaptation to Anthropogenic Heavy Metal Pollution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, species’ capacities to adapt rapidly (in hundreds of generations or less), reproducibly ... -
Rassikring av Krogstadmarka, Meråker - Innvirkning på gyteområder, ungfisk og bunndyr samt forslag til kompensasjonstiltak i Stjørdalselva og Smemobekken

Re-evaluationg 'Denmark's Stonehenge'. Bronze Age communal activities in a distinctive landscape setting.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In 1965, an aerial photograph from eastern Denmark revealed three concentric circles surrounding a large hill. In the following years, the National Museum conducted two small excavations, which seemed to confirm that these ... -
A realm of virtual knowledge: Exploring the capacities of Norwegian Metal-detected assemblages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This paper explores the knowledge potential of the Norwegian metal-detected assemblage through the conceptual framework of assemblage thinking. Drawing on the concepts of the actual/virtual, affect and coding, combined ... -
Reappraisal of the hyperdiverse Platynereis dumerilii (Annelida: Nereididae) species complex in the Northern Atlantic, with the description of two new species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Morphologically similar species are often overlooked but molecular techniques have been effective in signalling potential hidden diversity, boosting the documentation of unique evolutionary lineages and ecological diversity. ... -
Recognizability bias in citizenscience photographs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Citizen science and automated collection methods increasinglydepend on image recognition to provide the amountsof observational data research and management needs.Recognition models, meanwhile, also require large amounts ... -
Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ... -
