Plant DNA metabarcoding of lake sediments: How does it represent the contemporary vegetation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-17)Metabarcoding of lake sediments have been shown to reveal current and past biodiversity, but little is known about the degree to which taxa growing in the vegetation are represented in environmental DNA (eDNA) records. We analysed composition of lake and catchment vegetation and vascular plant eDNA at 11 lakes in northern Norway. Out of 489 records of taxa growing within 2 m from the lake shore, ... -
Plant species introduced by foreigners according to folk tradition in Norway and some other European countries: Xenophobic tales or not?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-05)Background In their quest to understand and interpret nature, people have frequently sought religious or divine origins for plant species and their characteristics. Less often, historical events or persons are involved. This study comprises eleven cases of the latter kind, all claiming that plant species have been introduced by foreigners or at least from foreign lands. Methods Based on literature ... -

The first journal is known as the earliest report from the arctic era. Gerrit de Veer adds instructive copper engravings ... -
Pollen, macrofossils and sedaDNA reveal climate and land use impacts on Holocene mountain vegetation of the Lepontine Alps, Italy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-10)Both climate change and anthropogenic disturbance affect vegetation composition, but it is difficult to separate these drivers of vegetation change from one another. A better understanding of past vegetation dynamics is necessary to disentangle the influence of different forcing factors and assess future vegetation change. Here we present the first multi-proxy palaeoecological study combining ... -
Population genomics of Mesolithic Scandinavia: Investigating early postglacial migration routes and high-latitude adaptation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-09)Scandinavia was one of the last geographic areas in Europe to become habitable for humans after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, the routes and genetic composition of these postglacial migrants remain unclear. We sequenced the genomes, up to 57× coverage, of seven hunter-gatherers excavated across Scandinavia and dated from 9,500–6,000 years before present (BP). Surprisingly, among the ... -
Population status, breeding biology and diet of Norwegian Great Cormorants
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)Two subspecies of the Great Cormorant breed in Norway, the continental Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis in the south, along the Skagerrak coast, and the marine P. c. carbo from central Norway and northwards. Here we review the information existing until 2017 on population status and trends, breeding performance and diet of these two subspecies in Norway. The most recent national population estimates are ... -
Postglacial species arrival and diversity buildup of northern ecosystems took millennia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-28)What drives ecosystem buildup, diversity, and stability? We assess species arrival and ecosystem changes across 16 millennia by combining regional-scale plant sedimentary ancient DNA from Fennoscandia with near-complete DNA and trait databases. We show that postglacial arrival time varies within and between plant growth forms. Further, arrival times were mainly predicted by adaptation to temperature, ... -
The potential of shoreline and shallow submerged Iron Age and Medieval archaeological sites in the Lofoten Islands, northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The Lofoten-Vesterålen archipelago (67°30’ - 69°30’N) is a chain of mountainous islands dissected by cirques, glacial valleys, and fjords that extends from northeast to southwest into the Norwegian Sea (Figure 1). Vesterålen is the northerly chain of islands and the seven islands of Lofoten lie to the south. The climate of Lofoten is mild despite this high latitude location. Temperatures ... -
Potential of the Gap
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-05-28)Potential of the Gap has been about method and place. In site-specific, contextual or relational art, the relationships between and relationships to are critical to the critical artistic licence. That is, relations between or to man, object, situation and context. I have engaged with the relationship between place, language and identity in relation to systems and logic. Convention and function. It ... -
The prelude to industrial whaling: Identifying the targets of ancient European whaling using zooarchaeology and collagen mass-peptide fingerprinting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-13)Taxonomic identification of whale bones found during archaeological excavations is problematic due to their typically fragmented state. This difficulty limits understanding of both the past spatio-temporal distributions of whale populations and of possible early whaling activities. To overcome this challenge, we performed zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry on an unprecedented 719 archaeological and ... -
Prestasjonsangst i gehørtrening. Faktorer som kan påvirke prestasjonsangst - En observasjons- og intervjustudie
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-08)Denne kvalitative forskningsstudien undersøker: Hvilke faktorer kan påvirke prestasjonsangst i gehørtreningsfaget. Tidligere forskning tyder på at en del elever og studenter har prestasjonsangst som kan være til hinder for læring. Jeg var derfor interessert i å utforske hvilke tanker lærere i gehørtrening har om arbeidsmåter som påvirker prestasjonsangst. Metoden i studien var en kombinasjon av ... -
Prevailing weather conditions and diet composition affect chick growth and survival in the black-legged kittiwake
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-04)To identify priorities for management of seabirds during the breeding season, it is important to understand the ecological mechanisms driving chick growth and survival. In this study, we examined the effects of diet and prevailing weather on the growth and survival of chicks of black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla over a 10 yr period at Anda, a seabird colony in northern Norway. We show that ... -
Prevention of microbial species introductions to the arctic: The efficacy of footwear disinfection measures on cruise ships
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-06)Biosecurity measures are commonly used to prevent the introduction of non-native species to natural environments globally, yet the efficacy of practices is rarely tested under operational conditions. A voluntary biosecurity measure was trialled in the Norwegian high Arctic following concern that non-native species might be transferred to the region on the footwear of travellers. Passengers aboard ... -
Prey density in non-breeding areas affects adult survival of black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-27)In migratory birds, environmental conditions in both breeding and non-breeding areas may affect adult survival rates and hence be significant drivers of demographic processes. In seabirds, poor knowledge of their true distribution outside the breeding season, however, has severely limited such studies. This study explored how annual adult survival rates of black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla ... -
