Does posture explain the kinematic differences in a grounded running gait between male and female Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea) moving on snow?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-05)The majority of locomotor research is conducted on treadmills and few studies attempt to understand the differences between this and animals moving in the wild. For example, animals may adjust their gait kinematics or limb posture, to a more compliant limb, to increase stability of locomotion to prevent limb failure or falling on different substrates. Here, using video recordings, we compared locomotor ... -
Complex and divergent histories gave rise to genome-wide divergence patterns amongst European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-15)Pleistocene glaciations dramatically affected species distribution in regions that were impacted by ice cover and subsequent postglacial range expansion impacted contemporary biodiversity in complex ways. The European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, is a widely distributed salmonid fish species on mainland Europe, but in Britain it has only seven native populations, all of which are found on the ... -
The importance of the Atlantic salmon peritoneal cavity B cell response: Local IgM secreting cells are predominant upon Piscirickettsia salmonis infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-01)The intraperitoneal route is favored for administration of inactivated and attenuated vaccines in Atlantic salmon. Nevertheless, the immune responses in the teleost peritoneal cavity (PerC) are still incompletely defined. In this study, we investigated the B cell responses after intraperitoneal Piscirickettsia salmonis (P. salmonis) challenge of Atlantic salmon, focusing on the local PerC response ... -
Effects of supplemental LED light quality and reduced growth temperature on swede (Brassica napus L. ssp. rapifera Metzg.) root vegetable development and contents of glucosinolates and sugars
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-04)Background - Low growth temperatures and the special light qualities of midnight sun in northern Scandinavia, have both been shown to improve eating quality of swede root bulbs. To study the combined effect of these factors on root development and sensory-related compounds, plants were grown in phytotron under different 24 h supplemental light-emitting diode (LED) light colours, at constant 15 °C, ... -
Make it simpler and better: T90 codend improves size selectivity and catch efficiency compared with the grid-and-diamond mesh codend in the Northeast Atlantic bottom trawl fishery for gadoids
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)The use of a sorting grid followed by a size-selective codend with minimum 130 mm mesh size is compulsory in the Northeast Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), and saithe (Polachius virens). However, sorting grids cause some disadvantages, which possibly can be solved by removing the grid and improving codend selectivity, thus making the ... -

Nutritional value and storage stability in commercially produced organically and conventionally farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)Salmon feeds have changed over the years, leading to changed biochemical composition of the fish. The main aim of this study was to compare biochemical compositions and storage stability of commercially produced organic and conventional salmon. Organically (n = 40) and conventionally farmed salmon (n = 39) were sampled. The fish were anesthetized, killed by gill cutting and bled before filleting. ... -

Plant-Soil Feedback: Alpine Grassland Plants in Home and Away soil
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-12-16)For the grassland, plant soil feedback (PSF) has been the focus of much recent research to understand plant species dynamics. Experimental methods are very important in the plant soil feedback (PSF) analysis, and it has been observed that various PSF experimental approaches yield in different feedback values. More field type experiments are required to understand the role of PSFs in plant communities ... -

Skogens helsetilstand i Norge. Resultater fra skogskadeovervåkingen i 2020
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-10-25)Skogens helsetilstand påvirkes i stor grad av klima og værforhold, enten direkte ved tørke, frost og vind, eller indirekte ved at klimaet påvirker omfanget av soppsykdommer og insektangrep. Klimaendringene og den forventede økningen i klimarelaterte skogskader gir store utfordringer for forvaltningen av framtidas skogressurser. Det samme gjør invaderende skadegjørere, både allerede etablerte arter ... -

Transgenerational Health Effects of In Utero Exposure to Economic Hardship: Evidence from Preindustrial Southern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)We studied whether in utero exposure to economic hardship during a grandmother's pregnancy has a transgenerational effect on her grandchildren's health condition. We used an individual-level three-generation data set covering people born between 1734 and 1840 in the municipality of Rendalen in Norway. We found a culling effect in which grandchildren whose grandmothers gave birth in years of economic ... -
Development of a bio-optical model for the Barents Sea to quantitatively link glider and satellite observations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)A bio-optical model for the Barents Sea is determined from a set of in situ observations of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and associated biogeochemical analyses. The bio-optical model provides a pathway to convert commonly measured parameters from glider-borne sensors (CTD, optical triplet sensor— chlorophyll and CDOM fluorescence, backscattering coefficients) to bulk spectral IOPs ... -

Decoupling of microbial community dynamics and functions in Arctic peat soil exposed to short term warming
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-12)Temperature is an important factor governing microbe-mediated carbon feedback from permafrost soils. The link between taxonomic and functional microbial responses to temperature change remains elusive due to the lack of studies assessing both aspects of microbial ecology. Our previous study reported microbial metabolic and trophic shifts in response to short-term temperature increases in Arctic ...
