Feasibility of applying shotgun metagenomic analyses to grapevine leaf, rhizosphere and soil microbiome characterisation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background and Aims The characterisation of plant microbiomes using metabarcoding strategies is expected to be progressively replaced by shotgun metagenomic (SMg) approaches. In the present report we explore the potential ... -
Using phylogenies to reveal spatial patterns of native and non-native plants in the context of conservation
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2025:113, Doctoral thesis, 2025)As the biodiversity crisis intensifies, protecting nature becomes more important. Traditionally, biodiversity has been quantified by simply counting species – ignoring evolutionary history (phylogenetic diversity) and ... -

Karbonrike arealer i Malvik kommune, Trøndelag
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet naturhistorisk rapport;, Research report, 2025)Denne rapporten gir et estimat på mengden karbon som er lagret per arealenhet i ulike terrestriske naturtyper i Malvik kommune, som grunnlag for å kartfeste areal med høgt karbonlager. Malvik kommune har et landareal på ... -
The role of habitat in predator-prey dynamics and its applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Habitat is a powerful force in ecosystems, and the quantity and quality of habitat can shape ecosystem structure and function. Among the many important roles that habitat plays is as a mediator of ecological interactions, ... -

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Study of Leishmania Species in Iran by Multilocus Sequence Typing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Leishmaniasis is an important public health parasitic infection, which is endemic in many parts of the world, including Iran. We aimed to investigate genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among different ... -
Towards modeling data-poor lakes at the regional scale using parameters from data-rich lakes and relationships to lake characteristics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Lakes pivotal for recreation and economically relevant activities are often remote and not well studied, which hinders the application of predictive lake models for their management. Here, we provide an approach to simulate—by ... -
Genetic variation and structure of endemic and endangered wild celery (Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff.) quantified using novel microsatellite markers developed by next-generation sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. (Apiaceae) is a native plant that has been traditionally consumed in Iran’s food and pharmaceutical industries. Overharvesting of the taxon, especially at the beginning of the growing season, ... -
Ancient reindeer mitogenomes reveal island-hopping colonisation of the Arctic archipelagos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Climate warming at the end of the last glacial period had profound effects on the distribution of cold-adapted species. As their range shifted towards northern latitudes, they were able to colonise previously glaciated ... -
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 ... -
DNA barcoding indicates the presence of unrecognized species and phylogenetic diversity within the Biatora vernalis- and B. meiocarpa-groups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Biatora vernalis- and meiocarpa-groups comprise species with pale beige to reddish brown apothecia and 0-, rarely also 1(–3)-septate ascospores. A DNA barcoding approach based on ITS sequences shows that these two ... -

Norske navn på alle karplantefamilier og -ordener
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Over time, Norwegian vernacular names have been coined for all vascular plant species, genera, families and orders represented in Norway. Imported, economically important species (used as food, medicine etc.) have also ... -
A Genomic Exploration of the Possible De-Extirpation of the Zanzibar Leopard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The recently extirpated Zanzibar leopard was the only known African leopard (Panthera pardus spp.) population restricted exclusively to a major island habitat. Although its demise was driven through habitat change and ... -
Contrasts in perception of the interaction between non-native species and climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Over the last century, intensification of human movement has resulted in a large-scale redistribution of species worldwide. In recent decades, this phenomenon has been further compounded by climate change, creating complex ... -
The Pathobiome of Salmo trutta From the North Sea to the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Aim Salmonids are some of the best studied species with respect to their pathobiome, and at the northern range limit, there is potential for pathogens to expand with both climate change and increased fish farming in the ... -

Ice-inhabiting species of Bdelloidea Rotifera reveal a pre-Quaternary ancestry in the Arctic cryosphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Historical climate data indicate that the Earth has passed through multiple geological periods with much warmer-than-present climates, including epochs of the Miocene (23–5.3 mya BP) with temperatures 3–4°C above present, ...
