People do care about the deep sea. A comment on Jamieson et al. (2020)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-23)In a paper in this journal entitled “Fear and loathing of the deep sea: why don’t people care about the deep sea?”, Jamieson et al. (2020) pose this question and answer it with many interesting perspectives from psychology, ocean literacy and philosophy. However, there is an inherent assumption in the question they ask that people do not care about the deep sea. In order to assess this assumption, ... -
Metabarcoding reveals high-resolution biogeographical and metaphylogeographical patterns through marine barriers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-29)Aim: It has been predicted that there should be concordance between biogeographical and phylogeographical processes structuring multi-species regional assemblages. We hypothesise that oceanographic barriers in the marine environment affect concomitantly the distribution and the connectivity of the marine biota, thus producing congruent biogeographical and phylogeographical structures. We also ... -

These compounds where screened for antibacterial- and antifungal activity, antibiofilm formation and ... -
Heterochronic maturation of anatomical plugs for protecting the airway in rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-14)Recently, a unique mechanism for protecting the airway during lunge feeding was discovered in rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae). This mechanism is based on an oral plug structure in the soft palate with similarities in musculo-fatty composition to the nasal plugs protecting the respiratory tract of rorquals from water entry and barotrauma during diving. As a follow-up, we present here a ... -
Distinct latitudinal community patterns of Arctic marine vertebrates along the East Greenlandic coast detected by environmental DNA
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-20)Aim: Greenland is one of the places on Earth where the effects of climate change are most evident. The retreat of sea ice has made East Greenland more accessible for longer periods during the year. East Greenland fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due to their remoteness, dense sea ice conditions and lack of infrastructure. As a result, biological monitoring across latitudinal gradients ... -
