10Be surface exposure dating of the deglaciation of northernmost Norway and Finland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)During the Last Glacial Maximum, the coast of Finnmark county, northern Norway, was covered by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS), which coalesced with the Barents Sea Ice Sheet (BSIS) off the coast. The region is thus ... -
2500 years of anthropogenic and climatic landscape transformation in the Stymphalia polje, Greece
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Lacustrine sediments generally record landscape development in the lake's catchment area controlled by palaeoclimatic and human induced changes. To improve our understanding on the anthropogenic and climatic influences on ... -
A 5700 year-old human genome and oral microbiome from chewed birch pitch
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The rise of ancient genomics has revolutionised our understanding of human prehistory but this work depends on the availability of suitable samples. Here we present a complete ancienthuman genome and oral microbiome sequenced ... -
A Discovery of Quite Exceptional Proportions: Controversies in the Wake of Anders Nummedal’s Discoveries of Norway’s First Inhabitants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Around the beginning of the twentieth century archaeologists believed that Norway was not inhabited until the Late Stone Age. In 1909 two pieces of flint, found by the school-teacher Anders Nummedal, launched an extensive ... -
A mega-cryptic species complex hidden among one of the most common annelids in the North East Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigate mitochondrial (COI, 16S rDNA) and nuclear (ITS2, 28S rDNA) genetic structure of North East Atlantic lineages of Terebellides, a genus of sedentary annelids mainly inhabiting continental shelf and slope ... -
A new surface gliding species of Chironomidae: An independent invasion of marine environments and its evolutionary implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Insects have invaded marine habitats only rarely and secondarily. Recently, we discovered a flightless dipteran species skating rapidly on the surface of seawater ponds at the Pacific coast of eastern China. Morphological ... -
A preboreal elk (Alces alces L., 1758) antler from south-eastern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)In 1895 a shed elk antler was found in a mire on a farm near Fluberg, in Søndre Land municipality in south-eastern Norway. The antler was first radiocarbon dated in 2008 and yielded the age 9,100 ± 50 BP (8,340 – 8,250 ... -
A regional study of the genus Phyllopsora (Ramalinaceae) in Asia and Melanesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Phyllopsora is a crustose to squamulose lichen genus inhabiting the bark of trees in moist tropical forests and rainforests. Species identification is generally challenging and is mainly based on ascospore morphology, ... -
A review of Norwegian Gymnometriocnemus (Diptera, Chironomidae) including the description of two new species and a new name for Gymnometriocnemus volitans (Goetghebuer) sensu Brundin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Abstract Examination of the syntypes of Metriocnemus volitans Goetghebuer, 1940 revealed that these specimens belong to the genus Chaetocladius and are not con-specific with Gymnometriocnemus volitans (Goetghebuer, 1940) ... -
An accurate assignment test for extremely low-coverage whole-genome sequence data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Genomic assignment tests can provide important diagnostic biological characteristics, such as population of origin or ecotype. Yet, assignment tests often rely on moderate- to high-coverage sequence data that can be difficult ... -
Acoustic accelerometer transmitters and their growing relevance to aquatic science
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)There has recently been great interest in the use of accelerometers onboard electronic transmitters to characterise various aspects of the ecology of wild animals. We review use cases and outline how these tools can provide ... -
Active Whaling, Opportunistic Scavenging or Long-Distance Trading: Zooarchaeological, Palaeoproteomic, and Historical Analyses on Whale Exploitation and Bone Working in Anglo-Saxon Hamwic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)THE ANGLO-SAXON SITE OF HAMWIC (modern Southampton, Hampshire, UK) has been identified as a major bone-working centre. Besides antler and terrestrial mammal bone, cetacean bone has been recovered in high quantities. These ... -
Actuarial senescence in a long-lived orchid challenges our current understanding of ageing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The dominant evolutionary theory of actuarial senescence—an increase in death rate with advancing age—is based on the concept of a germ cell line that is separated from the somatic cells early in life. However, such a ... -
Actuarial senescence progresses similarly across sites and species in four boreal orchids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)1. Whole-plant senescence, defined as a decrease in individual fitness as an organism grows older, has often been assumed to not occur in plants; however, it has now been detected in a range of plant taxa. Still, reported ... -
Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ... -

Advancing Data Quality of Marine Archaeological Documentation Using Underwater Robotics: From Simulation Environments to Real-World Scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This paper presents a novel method for the visual-based 3D mapping of underwater cultural heritage sites through marine robotic operations. The proposed methodology addresses the three main stages of an underwater robotic ... -
Advancing the use of molecular methods for routine freshwater macroinvertebrate biomonitoring – the need for calibration experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Over the last decade, steady advancements have been made in the use of DNA-based methods for detection of species in a wide range of ecosystems. This progress has culminated in molecular monitoring methods being employed ... -
Airborne laser scanning reveals increased growth and complexity of boreal forest canopies across a network of ungulate exclosures in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Large herbivores are often classed as ecosystem engineers, and when they become scarce or overabundant, this can alter ecosystem states and influence climate forcing potentials. This realization has spurred a call to ... -
