Field analysis of industrial development in a peripheral region of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The paper explores how industrial development can occur in a peripheral region through the gradual development of strategic coherence between organisations, materiality, and agency. In a longitudinal case study of how the ... -
Parasite–copepod interactions in Svalbard: diversity, host specificity, and seasonal patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters, little is known about the organisms they interact with most intimately, ... -
Role of protozooplankton in the diet of North Sea autumn spawning herring (Clupea harengus) larvae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The role of small prey (<200 µm) in larval marine fsh nutrition is largely understudied. Here, we explore the contribution of protozooplankton (PZP 20–200 µm) to larval fsh diets, compared to metazoan microzooplankton (MZP ... -
Geographic variation in gene flow from a genetically distinct migratory ecotype drives population genetic structure of coastal Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Gill area explains deviations from body size–metabolic rate relationship in teleost fishes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Unified understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic controls of dissolved organic carbon reactivity in aquatic ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite our growing understanding of the global carbon cycle, scientific consensus on the drivers and mechanisms that control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) turnover in aquatic systems is lacking, hampered by the mismatch ... -
Incorporating intra-annual variability in fisheries abundance data to better capture population dynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To reduce the risk of overexploitation and the ensuing conservation and socio-economic consequences, fisheries management relies on receiving accurate scientific advice from stock assessments. Biomass dynamics models used ... -
The interactive effects of temperature and food consumption on growth of larval Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida): A bioenergetic model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding larval growth, mediated by the interaction of early life traits and environmental conditions, is crucial to elucidate population dynamics. We used a bioenergetic model as an integrative tool to simulate the ... -
Salmon lice in the Pacific Ocean show evidence of evolved resistance to parasiticide treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Parasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) threaten the economic and ecological sustainability of salmon farming, and their evolved resistance to treatment with emamectin benzoate (EMB) has been a major problem for ... -
Trends and potential human health risk of trace elements accumulated in transplanted blue mussels during restoration activities of Flekkefjord fjord (Southern Norway)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The monitoring of contaminants represents a priority to preserve the integrity of marine ecosystems, as well as to plan and to manage restoration activities in order to protect environmental and human health. In the present ... -
Combining population genomics with demographic analyses highlights habitat patchiness and larval dispersal as determinants of connectivity in coastal fish species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Gene flow shapes spatial genetic structure and the potential for local adaptation. Among marine animals with nonmigratory adults, the presence or absence of a pelagic larval stage is thought to be a key determinant in ... -
Allee effects and the Allee-effect zone in northwest Atlantic cod
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Simulated poaching affects global connectivity and efficiency in social networks of African savanna elephants-An exemplar of how human disturbance impacts group-living species.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Selective harvest, such as poaching, impacts group-living animals directly through mortality of individuals with desirable traits, and indirectly by altering the structure of their social networks. Understanding the ... -
Automated Plankton Classification With a Dynamic Optimization and Adaptation Cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Species distribution models as a tool for early detection of the invasive Raphidiopsis raciborskii in European lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In freshwater habitats, invasive species and the increase of cyanobacterial blooms have been identified as a major cause of biodiversity loss. The invasive cyanobacteria Raphidiopsis raciborskii a toxin-producing and ... -
Recycled aggregates derived from excavation materials — mechanical performance and identification of weak minerals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Genomic reaction norms inform predictions of plastic and adaptive responses to climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genomic reaction norms represent the range of gene expression phenotypes (usually mRNA transcript levels) expressed by a genotype along an environmental gradient. Reaction norms derived from common-garden experiments are ... -
Host in reserve: The role of common shrews (Sorex araneus) as a supplementary source of tick hosts in small mammal communities influenced by rodent population cycles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Rodents often act as important hosts for ticks and as pathogen reservoirs. At north -ern latitudes, rodents often undergo multi- annual population cycles, and the peri -odic absence of certain hosts may inhibit the survival ... -
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 ... -
FishSizer: Software solution for efficiently measuring larval fish size
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Length and depth of fish larvae are part of the fundamental measurements in many marine ecology studies involving early fish life history. Until now, obtaining these measurements has required intensive manual labor and the ...
