  Husson, Berengere; Bluhm, Bodil Annikki Ulla Barbro; Cyr, Frédéric; Danielson, Seth L.; Eriksen, Elena; Fossheim, Maria; Geoffroy, Maxime; Hopcroft, Russell R.; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Lovejoy, Connie; Meire, Lorenz; Mueter, Franz; Primicerio, Raul; Winding, Mie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-24)

  Climate change is rapidly modifying biodiversity across the Arctic, driving a shift from Arctic to more boreal ecosystem characteristics. This phenomenon, known as borealization, is mainly described for certain functional groups along sub-Arctic inflow shelves (Barents and Chukchi Seas). In this review, we evaluate the spatial extent of such alterations across the Arctic, as well as their effects ...

  The Core of the Matter—Importance of Identification Method and Biological Replication for Benthic Marine Monitoring 

  Jensen, Mads Reinholdt; Agersnap, Sune; Egelyng Sigsgaard, Eva; Ávila, Marcelo De Paula; Glenner, Henrik; Wisz, Mary S; Thomsen, Philip Francis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-14)

  Benthic macrofauna are important and widely used biological indicators of marine ecosystems as they have limited mobility and therefore integrate the effects of local environmental stressors over time. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has provided a potentially more resource-efficient approach for benthic biomonitoring than traditional morphology-based methods. Several studies have ...

  Which ecological factors influence the level of intraspecific diversity within post-glacial fishes? A case study using Coregonus and Salvelinus 

  Blain, Stephanie A.; Adams, Colin E.; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Knudsen, Rune; Chavarie, Louise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-05)

  1. While it is likely that ecological context is important, the factors that facilitate and maintain variable levels of intraspecific diversity in Salmonidae fishes across environments remain unclear.<p> <p>2. Using a meta-analysis of sympatric ecotype assemblages from two salmonid genera—Salvelinus and Coregonus—we evaluated the importance of ecological factors determining the number of sympatric ...

  COVID-19 morbidity, severity, and mortality in a population-based sample of adults in Arkhangelsk, Northwest Russia 

  Krieger, Ekaterina (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-12-12)

  <p><i>Objective</i> To investigate seroprevalence, spectrum of COVID-19 cases and factors associated with COVID-19 morbidity, severity, and mortality in a population-based sample of adults in Arkhangelsk, Northwest Russia. <p><i>Methods</i> Participants in the Know Your Heart study (2015-2017) were enrolled in a COVID-19 seroprevalence study (n=1348) in 2021 and followed up for COVID-19 diagnosis, ...

  The challenges of the increasing institutionalization of climate security 

  Hardt, Judith N.; Jayaram, Dhanasree; Harrington, Cameron; McLaren, Duncan; Simpson, Nicholas P.; Cook, Alistair D. B.; Oliveira, Maria Cecilia; von Lucke, Franziskus; Trombetta, Julia Maria; Daoudy, Marwa; Floyd, Rita; Oramah, Chinwe P; Anthony, Mely Caballero; Estève, Adrien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-25)

  A rapid and widespread institutionalization of climate security is underway, led by powerful states and international organizations. Recognition of the climate crisis by security actors as a serious threat to humanity is long overdue, but it is imperative that this institutionalization is critically scrutinized. This commentary highlights specific dangers that accompany the institutional mainstreaming ...
