Species delimitation analyses of NE Atlantic Chaetozone (Annelida, Cirratulidae) reveals hidden diversity among a common and abundant marine annelid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The polychaetes of the family Cirratulidae (Annelida) are common inhabitants in continental shelf benthic environments and considered an important group of organisms in environmental monitoring surveys. The family represents ... -
What is the influence of a reduction of planktivorous and benthivorous fish on water quality in temperate eutrophic lakes? A systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background:In recent decades, many attempts have been made to restore eutrophic lakes through biomanipulation.Reducing the populations of planktivorous and benthivorous fish (either directly or through stocking of piscivorous ... -
Urban aliens and threatened near-naturals: Land-cover affects the species richness of alien- and threatened species in an urban-rural setting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urbanisation has strong effects on biodiversity patterns, but impacts vary among species groups and across spatial scales. From a local biodiversity management perspective, a more general understanding of species richness ... -
PESI - a taxonomic backbone for Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use of ecosystem resources. The flexibility of taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for ... -
Alien species in Norway: results from quantitative ecological impact assessments
(Journal article, 2020)1. Due to globalisation, trade and transport, the spread of alien species is increasing dramatically. Some alien species become ecologically harmful by threatening native biota. This can lead to irreversible changes in ... -
How fast do amphibians disperse? Introductions, distribution and dispersal of the common frog (Rana temporaria) and the common toad (Bufo bufo) on a coastal island in Central Worway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The common frog (Rana temporaria) and the common toad (Bufo bufo) were introduced successfully to the coastal island of Frøya in Central Norway several times during 1960–2012. There is still a very high degree of conformity ... -
Historic late blight outbreaks caused by a widespread dominant lineage of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, the causal agent of potato late blight, was responsible for the Irish potato famine of the 1840s. Initial disease outbreaks occurred in the US in 1843, two years prior to European ... -
Migration and habitat use of the landlocked riverine Atlantic salmon Salmo salar småblank
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)“Småblank” is the only population of Atlantic salmon in Europe living its entire life in the river habitat without performing migrations to the sea or lakes. Home range size and habitat use were compared between an unregulated ... -
Species-specific coral calcification responses to the extreme environment of the southern Persian Gulf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Sustained accretion of calcium carbonate (mostly by scleractinian corals) is fundamental for maintaining the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems, but may be greatly constrained by extreme and rapidly changing ... -
Macroalgal browsing on a heavily degraded, urbanized equatorial reef system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The removal of macroalgal biomass is critical to the health of coral reef ecosystems. Previous studies on relatively intact reefs with diverse and abundant fish communities have quantified rapid removal of macroalgae by ... -
Overvåkning av anadrome laksefisk i Fjærevassdraget, Nordland. Resultater fra videoovervåkning 2019

High-coverage genomes to elucidate the evolution of penguins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Penguins (Sphenisciformes) are a remarkable order of flightless wing-propelled diving seabirds distributed widely across the southern hemisphere. They share a volant common ancestor with Procellariiformes ... -
Diabetic cats have decreased gut microbial diversity and a lack of butyrate producing bacteria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Obesity and inactivity are major risk factors of feline diabetes mellitus (FDM) and human type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In recent years, changes in the gut microbiota have been suggested as a contributing factor to ... -

The Chironomidae (Diptera) of Svalbard and Jan Mayen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Non-biting midges of the fly family Chironomidae are extremely abundant and diverse in Arctic regions and are essential components of Arctic ecosystems. Modern identification tools based on documented records of Arctic ... -
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 ... -
