A synoptic review of the family Dendronotidae (Mollusca: Nudibranchia): a multilevel organismal diversity approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A synoptic review of the family Dendronotidae is presented based on morphological and molecular data. Three genera are recognized: Dendronotus, Pseudobornella, and Cabangus gen. nov. Two new Dendronotus species are described, ... -
Water chemistry, zooplankton and benthos in small lakes within the distribution area of the rare European pool frog Pelophylax lessonae (Camerano) in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In June 2018, water chemistry, benthos and zooplankton were investigated in 7 small lakes/ ponds within the key area of the European pool frog Pelophylax lessonae (Camerano) in Norway. The geographic distribution of the ... -
Cool as a moose: How can browsing counteract climate warming effects across boreal forest ecosystems?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Herbivory has potential to modify vegetation responses to climatic changes. However, climate and herbivory also affect each other, and rarely work in isolation from other ecological factors, such as plant–plant competition. ... -
Integrating dispersal along freshwater ecosystems into species distribution models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim: Our ability to model species distributions and abundances is a valuable ecological tool in predicting future distributions of species. Effectively incorporating connectivity into these predictions is crucial; however, ... -
Increasing Cervidae populations have variable impacts on habitat suitability for threatened forest plant and lichen species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Large herbivores play a key role in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems. Cervidae (deer) population densities and community structure have undergone drastic changes in many parts of the world over the past decades, often ... -
Herbivory and climate as drivers of woody plant growth: Do deer decrease the impacts of warming?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Vegetation at ecotone transitions between open and forested areas is often heavily affected by two key processes: climate change and management of large herbivore densities. These both drive woody plant state shifts, ... -
Changes in growth and migration patterns of sea trout before and after the introduction of Atlantic salmon farming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Marine growth has strong implications for reproductive potential and ultimate fitness of sea trout. Hence, the effects of anthropogenic factors on marine growth are important when evaluating population responses and ... -

Benthic Communities on the Mohn’s Treasure Mound: Implications for Management of Seabed Mining in the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Mohn’s Treasure, described as an inactive sulfide mound, was discovered at 2,600- m depth on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR) in 2002. In 2015, we conducted the first biological survey of Mohn’s Treasure using remotely ... -
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. ... -
MobiSeq: De novo SNP discovery in model and non-model species through sequencing the flanking region of transposable elements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In recent years, the availability of reduced representation library (RRL) methods has catalysed an expansion of genome‐scale studies to characterize both model and non‐model organisms. Most of these methods rely on the use ... -
New and noteworthy lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Twelve species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are reported as new to Fennoscandia. Additionally, we report 19 species as new to Norway. New localites are given for 47 rare or seldom collected species. The new combination ... -
