Light and freshwater discharge drive the biogeochemistry and microbial ecology in a sub-Arctic fjord over the Polar night
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-30)The polar night has recently received increased attention as a surprisingly active biological season. Yet, polar night microbial ecology is a vastly understudied field. To identify the physical and biogeochemical parameters driving microbial activity over the dark season, we studied a sub-Arctic fjord system in northern Norway from autumn to early spring with detailed monthly sampling. We focused ... -
Predation research with electronic tagging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-15)Predation is a fundamental aspect of ecology that drives ecosystem structure and function. A better understanding of predation can be facilitated by using electronic tags that log or transmit positions of predator or prey species in natural settings, however, there are special considerations that must be made to avoid biased estimates. We provide an overview of the tools available for studying ... -
Gjenoppbygginga og omfordelinga av inntekter etter den store sildekollapsen
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)Denne historiske analysen viser at den store sildekollapsen som fant sted på 1960-tallet, representerte et grunnleggende sjokk i norske fiskerier. Myndighetenes umiddelbare respons på krisa var å tillate fiske av småsild og enda mer subsidier for å berge fiskernes inntekter. Men dette var helt mislykka. Etter hvert førte rystelsene til at forvaltningspraksisen med fritt fiske ble terminert. ... -
Migration patterns of Greenland halibut in the North Atlantic revealed by a compiled mark-recapture dataset
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-18)Marine fisheries are often allocated to stocks that reflect pragmatic considerations and may not represent the species’ spatial population structure, increasing the risk of mismanagement and unsustainable harvesting. Here we compile mark–recapture data collected across the North Atlantic to gain insight into the spatial population structure of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), an ... -
Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of SnRK2 Gene Family in Dormant Vegetative Buds of Liriodendron chinense in Response to Abscisic Acid, Chilling, and Photoperiod
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-22)Protein kinases play an essential role in plants’ responses to environmental stress signals. SnRK2 (sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2) is a plant-specific protein kinase that plays a crucial role in abscisic acid and abiotic stress responses in some model plant species. In apple, corn, rice, pepper, grapevine, Arabidopsis thaliana, potato, and tomato, a genome-wide study of the ... -
A spatial and temporal study of Pseudocalanus acuspes, P. minutus and P. moultoni in the Svalbard – Barents Sea region and their potential as environmental indicator species in a changing Arctic
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-11-22)<p>Many species of small copepods are morphologically similar and thus often grouped together at genus level rather than studied as individual species. However, species within the same genus may differ quite a lot in life history strategies and traits. In this study, I used a species-specific polymerase chain reaction to explore the abundance, distribution and size range of <i>Pseudocalanus</i> ... -
The endemic land snails of the Fernando de Archipelago, Brasil
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)Fernando de Noronha (henceforth ‘Noronha’) is an oceanic archipelago of volcanic origin, located ~350 km off the northeast coast of Brasil (Fig. 1). The eponymous main island was an important midway port in the Portuguese exploitation of Brasilian resources during the 16th and 17th centuries (Lins & Silva, 2013). The island was also briefly occupied by the British, French and Dutch. It also ... -
