50,000 years of ice and seals: Impacts of the Last Glacial Maximum on Antarctic fur seals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Applying artificial intelligence methods to detect and classify fish calls from the northern gulf of Mexico
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
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 ... -
Atmospheric brightening counteracts warming-induced delays in autumn phenology of temperate trees in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aim Ongoing climate warming has been widely reported to delay autumn phenology, which in turn impacts carbon, water, energy and nutrient balances at regional and global scales. However, the underlying mechanisms of autumn ... -
Attraction of cod Gadus morhua from coastal spawning grounds to salmon farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Attuning to a changing ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Battle of the borders: Is a range-extending fiddler crab affecting the spatial niche of a congener species?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate change is drastically altering environmental conditions and resource availability. Many organisms are shifting their distribution boundaries. Fiddler crabs, for instance, are important ecosystem engineers in coastal ... -
Caught in the middle: bottom‑up and top‑down processes impacting recruitment in a small pelagic fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding the drivers behind fluctuations in fish populations remains a key objective in fishery science. Our predictive capacity to explain these fluctuations is still relatively low, due to the amalgam of interacting ... -
Challenges in supplying empirical proof for predictions derived from Species Distribution Models (SDMs): the case of an invasive cyanobacterium
(Journal article, 2023)Species distribution models (SDMs) calibrated with bioclimatic variables revealed a high probability for range expansion of the invasive toxin producing cyanobacterium, Raphidiopsis raciborskii to Sweden, where no reports ... -
Coherent long-term body-size responses across all Northwest Atlantic herring populations to warming and environmental change despite contrasting harvest and ecological factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Body size is a key component of individual fitness and an important factor in the structure and functioning of populations and ecosystems. Disentangling the effects of environmental change, harvest and intra- and inter-specific ... -
Consequences of single-locus and tightly linked genomic architectures for evolutionary responses to environmental change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Contrasting management regimes indicative of mesopredator release in temperate coastal fish assemblages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The absence of functional top predators has been proposed as a mechanism acting to shape fish assemblages in temperate marine ecosystems, with cascading effects on lower trophic levels. We explore this scenario by comparing ... -
Contrasting neurochemical and behavioral profiles reflects stress coping styles but not stress responsiveness in farmed gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In fish, as well as in other vertebrates, contrasting suites of physiological and behavioral traits, or coping styles, are often shown in response to stressors. However, the magnitude of the response (i.e. stress responsiveness) ... -
Depletion of coastal predatory fish sub-stocks coincided with the largest sea urchin grazing event observed in the NE Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Diversification and community assembly of the world’s largest tropical island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aim: The species diversity and endemism of tropical biotas are major contributors to global biodiversity, but the factors underlying the formation of these systems remain poorly understood. Location: The world's largest ... -
Efficient and reliable methods for estimating the abundance of keystone coastal macrofauna over large spatial scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Coastal bivalves are important ecosystem engineers, and identifying critical habitats can enhance conservation outcomes for threated keystone species as well as determining hotspots for invasive species. As early action ... -
Energy compensation and adiposity in humans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Environmental DNA analysis indicates that migration barriers are decreasing the occurrence of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in distance from the sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global biodiversity. These genomes provide unique ... -
Evaluation of mitigation measures for Atlantic salmon and brown trout at hydropower plants and their prospect as selective agents
(Doctoral dissertations at University of Agder;no. 314, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Renewable energy contributes towards the world`s growing energy demands and urgent need for mitigating climate change. However, these renewable sources of energy may have localized, detrimental environmental effects. For ...
