Sharkaeology: Expanding Understandings of Historical Chinese Diaspora Shark Fisheries in Monterey Bay, California, through the Genetic Species Identification of Archaeological Chondrichthyes Remains
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Prior to burning down in 1906 CE, Point Alones in the Monterey Bay region of Central California was home to one of the largest Chinese fishing communities in the United States of America. Both historical records and the ... -
Ritual Practice at Late Iron-Age and Viking-Age Cemeteries in Norway: The Mortuary Houses From Skeiet, Vinjeøra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)THREE PROPOSED LATE IRON- AND VIKING-AGE MORTUARY HOUSES were recently excavated in Central Norway. Excavations and geoarchaeological investigations imply underground wooden buildings resembling domestic houses with doors. ... -
From Life to Death in Iron Age and Medieval Vinjefjord. Unveiling Burial Practices, Settlement and Landscape History
(Book, 2024)Archaeological excavations in 2019 and 2020 at Vinjefjord in Central Norway uncovered extensive evidence of settlements and graves from societies that thrived in this region during the Iron Age, the Viking Age, and the ... -
Violence as a lens to Viking societies: A comparison of Norway and Denmark
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Comparing Viking Age Norway and Denmark, the article examines the primary proposition that as centers of authority become progressively more robust, violence will be proportionately contained. The article introduces a new ... -
Genomic context determines the effect of DNA methylation on gene expression in the gut epithelium of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The canonical view of DNA methylation, a pivotal epigenetic regulation mechanism in eukaryotes, dictates its role as a suppressor of gene activity, particularly within promoter regions. However, this view is being challenged ... -
Social and genetic connectivity despite ecological variation in a killer whale network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Philopatric kin-based societies encourage a narrow breadth of conservative behaviours owing to individuals primarily learning from close kin, promoting behavioural homogeneity. However, weaker social ties beyond kin, and ... -
The oral microbiota of wild bears in Sweden reflects the history of antibiotic use by humans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Following the advent of industrial-scale antibiotic production in the 1940s,1 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been on the rise and now poses a major global health threat in terms of mortality, morbidity, and economic ... -

National records of 3000 European bee and hoverfly species: A contribution to pollinator conservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge of their distribution at the national and continental ... -
Genomic analyses show extremely perilous conservation status of African and Asiatic cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We live in a world characterized by biodiversity loss and global environmental change. The extinction of large carnivores can have ramifying effects on ecosystems like an uncontrolled increase in wild herbivores, which in ... -
The effect of surveillance fishing on migration distance of Atlantic Salmon during the spawning period
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Objective Surveillance fishing surveys can be performed to estimate the proportion of farmed salmon represented in the spawning stock of native Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar populations. These surveys take place after the ... -
Modern Siberian dog ancestry was shaped by several thousand years of Eurasian-wide trade and human dispersal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Dogs have been essential to life in the Siberian Arctic for over 9,500 y, and this tight link between people and dogs continues in Siberian communities. Although Arctic Siberian groups such as the Nenets received limited ... -
Lecanora caledonica - a new species in the Lecanora intumescens group (Lecanoraceae) from north-western Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Lecanora caledonica is described as new to science. Molecular analyses show that it belongs to the L. intumescens group. It is also rather similar in appearance to L. intumescens, but differs mainly chemically in containing ... -
Genomics of adaptive evolution in the woolly mammoth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ancient genomes provide a tool to investigate the genetic basis of adaptations in extinct organisms. However, the identification of species-specific fixed genetic variants requires the analysis of genomes from multiple ... -
The evolution of extra-pair paternity and paternal care in birds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Extra-pair paternity (EPP) influences the relatedness between social parents and offspring. Therefore, one might expect the level of EPP to influence levels of paternal investment. Here, we investigated the effect of ... -
Studies on Aneura (Aneuraceae): The Aneura maxima complex
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Based on molecular data we show that there are at least five taxa involved among the morphological complex of large Aneura species with wide, thin thalli. We also typify the previously described large Aneura species and ... -
Innovating Interdisciplinarity in Higher Education: Exploring the Impact of a Grassroots Community of Practice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Skills in interdisciplinary collaboration are required to address many complex problems facing society. As such, interdisciplinarity is a critical competency for students to develop. However, teachers’ effectiveness in ... -

Low spatial habitat overlap of herbivores in the High Arctic tundra
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Herbivores play a crucial role in shaping tundra ecosystems through their effects on vegetation, nutrient cycling, and soil abiotic factors. Understanding their habitat use, co-occurrence, and overlap is therefore essential ...
