Using historical herbarium specimens to elucidate the evolutionary genomics of plant invasion
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:77, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The world’s herbarium collections contain a vast number of specimens that were collected up to 400 years ago. Due to recent advances in DNA extraction and sequencing, these specimens are now readily available for use in ... -
Environmental variables driving species composition in subarctic springs in the face of climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Questions Which environmental variables are most important in determining plant species composition in subarctic springs? Do observed patterns differ between typical wetland and general matrix‐derived species? Location ... -
Ancient and modern stickleback genomes reveal the demographic constraints on adaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Adaptation is typically studied by comparing modern populations with contrasting environments. Individuals persisting in the ancestral habitat are typically used to represent the ancestral founding population; however, it ... -
Building genomic infrastructure: Sequencing platinum-standard reference-quality genomes of all cetacean species.

Corals as substrate for tube-dwelling anemones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study is about seven individuals of Botrucnidifer norvegicus Carlgren, 1912 (Anthozoa, Ceriantharia) that were attached to a stony deep-sea coral, Desmophyllum pertusum Linnaeus, 1758 (Anthozoa, Scleractinia). They ... -
The first comprehensive DNA barcode reference library of Chinese Tanytarsus (Diptera: Chironomidae) for environmental DNA metabarcoding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim: Reliable DNA barcode reference libraries are critical for biodiversity monitoring based on Environmental DNA (eDNA). DNA barcoding has proven successful in species delimitation and association of life stages in many ... -
Leech blood-meal invertebrate-derived DNA reveals differences in Bornean mammal diversity across habitats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The application of metabarcoding to environmental and invertebrate‐derived DNA (eDNA and iDNA) is a new and increasingly applied method for monitoring biodiversity across a diverse range of habitats. This approach is ... -

Multi-marker DNA metabarcoding reflects tardigrade diversity in different habitats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Like meiofauna in general, tardigrades are often neglected in ecological and environmental surveys. Tardigrades occur in all parts of the world, from deep marine sediments to alpine environments, and are present in most ... -
Phylogenetic structure in the Sphagnum recurvum complex (Bryophyta: Sphagnaceae) relative to taxonomy and geography
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Premise The Sphagnum recurvum complex comprises a group of closely related peat mosses that are dominant components of many northern wetland ecosystems. Taxonomic hypotheses for the group range from interpreting the whole ... -
The genus Cosmophorus Ratzeburg, 1848 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Euphorinae) in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Dorytomus carpathicus Petryszak, 1984 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) a new weevil for the Nordic countries.

Genomic adaptations and evolutionary history of the extinct scimitar-toothed cat, Homotherium latidens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Homotherium was a genus of large-bodied scimitar-toothed cats, morphologically distinct from any extant felid species, that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene [1, 2, 3, 4]. They possessed large, saber-form serrated ... -
The Biology and feeding Ecology of Arctic charr in the Kerguelen Islands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Subsequent to their introduction in the 1950s, Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus have been able to establish a self‐sustaining population that has adapted to the unique conditions of the sub‐Antarctic Kerguelen Islands. Here, ... -
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 ... -
A revision of the genus Aciculopsora (Ramalinaceae) with the description of one new species and one new combination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020) -
Inference of natural selection from ancient DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Evolutionary processes, including selection, can be indirectly inferred based on patterns of genomic variation among contemporary populations or species. However, this often requires unrealistic assumptions of ancestral ... -
A dated volcano-tectonic deformation event in Jan Mayen causing landlocking of Arctic charr
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We provide the first documentation of tectonic deformation resulting from a volcanic eruption on the island of Jan Mayen. Vertical displacement of about 14 m southwest of the stratovolcano Beerenberg is associated with an ... -
Metadata standards and practical guidelines for specimen and DNA curation when building barcode reference libraries for aquatic life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)DNA barcoding and metabarcoding is increasingly used to effectively and precisely assess and monitor biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. As these methods rely on data availability and quality of barcode reference libraries, ...
