Review of LHC experimental results on low mass bosons in multi Higgs models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A variety of searches have been performed at the LHC using Run I data, looking for decays of the discovered Higgs boson, h 125, decaying to a pair of low mass bosons, with mass in the range 2mμ−mh125/2≃62 GeV. We summarise ... -
Riverine impacts on benthic biodiversity and functional traits: A comparison of two sub-Arctic fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate change is leading to increases in freshwater discharge to coastal environments with implications for benthic community structure and functioning. Freshwater inputs create strong environmental gradients, which ... -
A roadmap for understanding the evolutionary significance of structural genomic variation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Structural genomic variants (SVs) take diverse forms and are ubiquitous drivers of ecological and evolutionary processes. Most studies of SVs focus on the adaptive significance of gene duplications and large inversions. ... -
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 ... -
Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in the stomach contents of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) sampled from Norwegian fish farms: Relationship between lice grazing and operational conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cleaner fish are commonly used as a control measure against salmon lice infestations in salmonid farms. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is the most common cleaner fish species used in Norwegian farms. However, little is known ... -
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 ... -
Sea temperature effects on depth use and habitat selection in a marine fish community

Seascape ecology of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in coastal Skagerrak: population structure, connectivity, and role in fish assemblage
(Doctoral dissertations at University of Agder;no. 294, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Atlantic cod populations along the Norwegian Skagerrak coast consist of two known ecotypes. During the last decade, there has been a dramatic decline of larger cod and other piscivorous fish species in eastern Skagerrak. ... -
Seasonal Dynamics of Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus L.) Populations Spawning in the Vicinity of Marginal Habitats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Gillnet sampling and analyses of otolith shape, vertebral count and growth indicated the presence of three putative Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) populations mixing together over the spawning season February–June ... -
Seasonal dynamics of atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) populations spawning in the vicinity of marginal habitats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Gillnet sampling and analyses of otolith shape, vertebral count and growth indicated the presence of three putative Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) populations mixing together over the spawning season February–June ... -
Seasonality in phytoplankton communities and production in three Arctic fjords across a climate gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Phytoplankton communities and production in Arctic fjords undergo strong seasonal variations. Phytoplankton blooms are periods with high primary production, leading to elevated algal biomass fueling higher trophic levels. ... -
Sex-and size-selective harvesting of corkwing wrasse (Symphodus melops)-a cleaner fish used in salmonid aquaculture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Sex-specific vertical movements of spawning atlantic cod in coastal habitats inferred from acoustic telemetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Fish spawning location and behaviour can be challenging to detect, especially in deep water. Here we utilise two large acoustic telemetry datasets from western and mid Norway to study the vertical movement dimension of ... -
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 ... -
Small pelagic fish in the new millennium: a bottom-up view of global research effort

Socializing makes thick-skinned individuals: On the density of epidermal alarm substance cells in cyprinid fish, the crucian carp (Carassius carassius)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)In cyprinid fish, density of epidermal club cells (i.e. alarm substance cells) has been found to vary between lakes with different predator fauna. Because predators can be labelled with chemical cues from prey, we questioned ... -
Spatial data of Ixodes ricinus instar abundance and nymph pathogen prevalence, Scandinavia, 2016–2017
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ticks carry pathogens that can cause disease in both animals and humans, and there is a need to monitor the distribution and abundance of ticks and the pathogens they carry to pinpoint potential high risk areas for tick-borne ...
