(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-09)Markus Fjellström has presented a substantial doctoral work in scientific archaeology, comprising six articles and an 80-page synthesis. The papers were published between 2015 and 2021. For the first time on such a large and systematic scale, these papers and thesis bring together specialists in Sámi and scientific/laborative archaeology to address the early history of the Sámi. The papers are ... -

Multicolony tracking reveals the winter distribution of a pelagic seabird on an ocean basin scale
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-26)Aim An understanding of the non-breeding distribution and ecology of migratory species is necessary for successful conservation. Many seabirds spend the nonbreeding season far from land, and information on their distribution during this time is very limited. The black-legged kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla, is a widespread and numerous seabird in the North Atlantic and Pacific, but breeding ... -
DNA Metabarcoding of Preservative Ethanol Reveals Changes in Invertebrate Community Composition Following Rotenone Treatment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)The botanical compound rotenone is extensively used to eradicate populations and reduce the negative impacts of freshwater invasive animals. The method is controversial as non-target organisms often are negatively affected, but these effects are highly variable among taxa and may be difficult to monitor on species-level as many invertebrates are challenging or costly to identify using morphology. ... -

Genotyping-in-Thousands by sequencing panel development and application for high-resolution monitoring of introgressive hybridization within sockeye salmon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-02)Stocking programs have been widely implemented to re-establish extirpated fsh species to their historical ranges; when employed in species with complex life histories, such management activities should include careful consideration of resulting hybridization dynamics with resident stocks and corresponding outcomes on recovery initiatives. Genetic monitoring can be instrumental for quantifying ... -

MicroRNAs as Indicators into the Causes and Consequences of Whole-Genome Duplication Events
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-03)Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have long been considered the causal mechanism underlying dramatic increases to morphological complexity due to the neo-functionalization of paralogs generated during these events. Nonetheless, an alternative hypothesis suggests that behind the retention of most paralogs is not neo-functionalization, but instead the degree of the inter-connectivity of the intended ... -
Life before Stonehenge: The hunter-gatherer occupation and environment of Blick Mead revealed by sedaDNA, pollen and spores
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-27)The Neolithic and Bronze Age construction and habitation of the Stonehenge Landscape has been extensively explored in previous research. However, little is known about the scale of pre-Neolithic activity and the extent to which the later monumental complex occupied an ‘empty’ landscape. There has been a long-running debate as to whether the monumental archaeology of Stonehenge was created in an ... -
A molecular-based identification resource for the arthropods of Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-25)To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference library of DNA barcodes for the arthropods of an entire country (Finland), (2) publish this library, and (3) deliver a new identification tool for insects and spiders, as based on ... -
MirGeneDB 2.1: toward a complete sampling of all major animal phyla
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-25)We describe an update of MirGeneDB, the manually curated microRNA gene database. Adhering to uniform and consistent criteria for microRNA annotation and nomenclature, we substantially expanded MirGeneDB with 30 additional species representing previously missing metazoan phyla such as sponges, jellyfish, rotifers and flatworms. MirGeneDB 2.1 now consists of 75 species spanning over ∼800 million ... -
Whose Settler Colonial State? Arctic Railway, Changing State Space and Settler Self-Indigenization in Northern Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-01)Settler colonial theory has effectively highlighted the continuity of colonial structures, but less attention has been paid on how also the settler state has transformed over time, and how such changes have affected the manifold relationships between the state, the settlers and the natives. This article addresses trajectories of settler colonial change in Finland, building on theories of state ... -
Frame Alignment Between Environmentalists and the Sámi in the Forest Dispute in Inari, Finland Until the 2000s—Competing Conservation Needs and Obstacles for Co-Living With the Non-Human
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)The cooperation between Sá mi actors and environmentalists in the resistance of loggings in the conflict over forestry in Inari, in Finnish Sá pmi, in the 2000s has been presented as a cohesive alliance, innovative in creating new political space and channels of influence. Looking more closely, there were foundational non-aligning factors causing friction to the alliance, relating to the legitimacy ... -

When Older Males Sire More Ofspring—Increased Attractiveness or Higher Fertility?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-23)In birds with extrapair mating, older males usually have higher fertilization success than younger males. Two hypotheses can potentially explain this pattern: 1) females prefer older, and often more ornamented males, or 2) older males invest more in reproduction and fertility than younger males. Here we studied factors associated with age-related male fertilization success in a population of barn ... -
