In this era of change, when the placement of the arts is coming under scrutiny at local, national, and international levels, the time seems right to explore the role of the artist (broadly understood) in multidisciplinary contexts. What can we offer, what can others offer us, and how can such partnerships succeed?

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 ...

Sommeren 2017 ble det funnet bein etter menneske spredt på en påbegynt vegtrasé ovenfor Nordvegen på Hillesøy på sørvest-sida av Kvaløya utenfor Tromsø. Den arkeologiske undersøkelsen viste at beina stammer fra en båtgrav fra yngre jernalder. Litt over halve båten var fortsatt bevart, mens resten var ødelagt av anleggsarbeidet. I den bevarte delen lå fortsatt bekken og underkropp på plass. Båten var ...

Reproductive timing in many taxa plays a key role in determining breeding productivity, and is often sensitive to climatic conditions. Current climate change may alter the timing of breeding at different rates across trophic levels, potentially resulting in temporal mismatch between the resource requirements of predators and their prey. This is of particular concern for higher-trophic-level organisms, ...

<i>Amphilochus manudens</i> and <i>Amphilochopsis hamatus</i> are redescribed based on specimens from the BioIce, Mareano, and IceAGE programmes. Te new species <i>Amphilochus anoculus</i> <b>sp. n.</b> is described based on material from the IceAGE programme and the preceding BioIce programme; it is separated from the closely related <i>Amphilochus manudens</i> by the absence of eyes, a ...

Climate fluctuations and its effects on ecological processes are evident in most areas worldwide but whether such climatic effects are induced phenotypic plasticity or whether animals adapt to the new environment through micro‐evolutionary processes is poorly known. In this study we have analyzed long‐term data (22 years) on the relationship between climatic fluctuations and the adult survival of ...

Amphipods constitute an abundant part of Icelandic deep-sea zoobenthos yet knowledge of the diversity of this fauna, particularly at the molecular level, is scarce. The present work aims to use molecular methods to investigate genetic variation of the Amphipoda sampled during two IceAGE collecting expeditions. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) of 167 individuals originally assigned ...

Målet med studien var å kartlegge hvilke undervisningsmetoder som ble brukt ved MMSA, og om min forestilling om hvor sterk gehørbasert undervisning sto ved skolen holdt stikk. Med utgangspunkt i min forforståelse, var jeg overbevist om at den sørafrikanske musikkundervisningen i stor grad var gehørbasert. Didaktisk relasjonstenkning er den teoretiske forankringen i studien, med fokus på den didaktiske ...

There is an increasing recognition that there are a class of problems which society must solve urgently in the 21st century if humanity is to survive into the 22nd, the so-called Grand Challenges. Science policy makers have been active in recognising these challenges and the attendant need to develop new multidisciplinary ways of working. But embracing multidisciplinarity is not a straightforward ...
