Advancing Through the Pandemic From the Perspective of Marine Graduate Researchers: Challenges, Solutions, and Opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a new social and academic reality to researchers worldwide. The field of marine science, our own topic of interest, has also been impacted in multiple ways, from cancelation ... -
Amphibian survival compromised by long-term effects of chytrid fungus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Atlantic cod individual spatial behaviour and stable isotope associations in a no-take marine reserve
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Foraging is a behavioural process and, therefore, individual behaviour and diet are theorized to covary. However, few comparisons of individual behaviour type and diet exist in the wild. We tested whether behaviour type ... -
Bacterioplankton dynamics driven by interannual and spatial variation in diatom and dinoflagellate spring bloom communities in the Baltic Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Classification of pig calls produced from birth to slaughter according to their emotional valence and context of production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Vocal expression of emotions has been observed across species and could provide a non-invasive and reliable means to assess animal emotions. We investigated if pig vocal indicators of emotions revealed in previous studies ... -
Climate mitigation and intensified forest management in Norway : To what extent are surface waters safeguarded?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)While the role of forestry in mitigating climate change is increasingly subject to political commitment, other areas, such as water protection, may be at risk. In this study, we ask whether surface waters are sufficiently ... -
Dataset from a mesocosm experiment on brownification in the Baltic Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is projected to cause brownification of some coastal seas due to increased runoff of terrestrially derived organic matter. We carried out a mesocosm experiment over 15 days to test the effect of this on the ... -
Demographic history has shaped the strongly differentiated corkwing wrasse populations in Northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Demographic responses to protection from harvesting in a long-lived marine species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are usually considered to have positive effects on the recovery of over-exploited populations. However, resolving the extent to which MPAs function according to their conservation goals ... -
Desiccant Properties Comparison of Natural Bio-polymers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background and Objective: Desiccants are substances used in the dehumidification process which is vital in order to avoid the degradation of materials. Silica gel is the most prominent type of desiccant used and today the ... -
Diatom-mediated food web functioning under ocean artificial upwelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Enhancing ocean productivity by artificial upwelling is evaluated as a nature-based solution for food security and climate change mitigation. Fish production is intended through diatom-based plankton food webs as these are ... -
Differential reproductive plasticity under thermal variability in a freshwater fish (Danio rerio)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Distribution and diversity of fish species along the Sudanese Red Sea coast based on three combined trap and gillnet surveys
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
A diversity of patterns: 10-year trajectories of men and women diagnosed with psychosis for the first time. A time-geographic approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)People with severe mental illness face a different ‘interventional’ landscape compared to some decades ago, when mental hospitals were dominant, in Sweden as well as in the rest of the Western world. The aim ... -
Effect of torrefaction on properties of pellets produced from woody biomass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Torrefaction has been recognized as a promising strategy to improve handling and storage properties of wood-based pellets, thus producing a uniform-quality commodity with high energy density and hydrophobicity. In this ... -
Effects of nitrogen enrichment on zooplankton biomass and N:P recycling ratios across a DOC gradient in northern-latitude lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We used data from whole-lake studies to assess how changes in food quantity (phytoplankton biomass) and quality (phytoplankton community composition, seston C:P and N:P) with N fertilization affect zooplankton biomass, ... -
Empirical evidence of non-linearity in bottom-up effect in a marine predator-prey system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Strength of species interaction may have profound effects on population dynamics. Empirical estimates of interaction strength is often based on the assumption that the interaction strengths are constant. Barents Sea cod ... -
European Union legislation on macroalgae products
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Macroalgae-based products are increasing in demand also in Europe. In the European Union, each category of macroalgae-based products is regulated separately. We discuss EU legislation, including the law on medicinal ... -
Exploring Living Nature : Modes of observation in history, teaching and learning
(Doctoral dissertations at University of Agder; no. 449, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The purpose of this study is to phenomenologically explore the practices of observing living nature in history, teaching, and learning, and to discuss potentials and constraints with teaching and learning observational ... -
Gene flow relates to evolutionary divergence among populations at the range margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
