Back from the Past: DNA Barcodes and Morphology Support Ablabesmyia americana Fittkau as a Valid Species (Diptera: Chironomidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Abstract: Short, standardized gene fragments for species identification (DNA barcodes) have proven effective in delineating closely-related insect species, and can be critical characters to include in taxonomic studies. ... -
Diversity of Norwegian sea slugs (Nudibranchia): new species to Norwegian coastal waters and new data on distribution of rare species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A total of 5 nudibranch species are reported from the Norwegian coast for the first time (Doridoxa ingolfiana, Goniodoris castanea, Onchidoris sparsa, Eubranchus rupium and Proctonotus mucroniferus). In addition 10 species ... -
Natural and cultural heritage in mountain landscapes: towards an integrated valuation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Mountain areas of Europe have been managed by humans for a long time, leading to a prevalence of semi-natural habitats in mountain landscapes today. These landscapes contain both natural and cultural heritage; however, ... -
Long-term land-use and landscape dynamics in Budalen, central Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Humans have used resources in mountain landscapes for thousands of years, but the intensity and continuity of different land uses and the corresponding landscape changes are not well understood. This study examined long-term ... -
Historical legacy of old-growth pine forest in Dividalen, nothern Scandes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The Dividalen (Sami: Dieváidvuovdi) valley in Troms county, North Norway, is well known for its old-growth pine forest, a biodiversity hotspot for dead wood-inhabiting fungi and lichens. The majority of the valley is ... -
An effective method for the recapture of escaped farmed salmon

DNA-metastrekkoding til undersøkelser av invertebrater i ferskvann
(NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet naturhistorisk notat;, Research report, 2019)DNA-metastrekkoding (metabarcoding) er en teknikk der en ved hjelp av korte DNA-sekvenser kan identifisere artene i en miljø- eller bulkprøve (usortert samleprøve). Metoden har potensiale til å revolusjonere miljøovervåkning ...
