Stornaust fra middelalder. Forskningsutgravning i 2022 på Nergården, Bjarkøy, Harstad k.
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023)Rapporten presenterer resultater fra siste feltsesong av forskningsutgravning av nausttufter på Nergården, Bjarkøy utført av Norges arktiske universitetsmuseum (UM) og Troms og Finnmark fylkeskommune i fire feltperioder (2019-2022). De samlede utgravningsresultatene danner et grunnlag for tolkning av konstruksjon, kronologi og relasjoner mellom tre stornaustbygninger; et opprinnelig jernaldernaust ... -
Rapid laminated clastic alluviation associated with increased Little Ice Age flooding co-driven by climate variability and historic land-use in the middle Severn catchment, UK
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-06)The analysis of exceptionally well-preserved visible clastic laminations in deep alluvial sediments at Kempsey, Worcestershire (UK), allows a new highresolution analysis of late-Holocene flood-history in the largest UK catchment, as well as local human response. At the sample site over 4.5m of sandy-silt overbank-alluvium accumulated on the floodplain and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ... -
Environmental DNA of aquatic macrophytes: The potential for reconstructing past and present vegetation and environments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-29)1. Environmental DNA is increasingly being used to reconstruct past and present biodiversity including from freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are especially good environmental indicators, thus their environmental DNA palaeorecord might shed light on past postglacial environments.<p> <p>2. Here, we first review and compare studies that use metagenomics, targeted capture, and various barcoding ... -
Sámi bear graves in Norway - hidden sites and rituals
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)This paper presents a research project on bear-human relationships, focusing on the Sámi bear grave rituals and burial customs in Norway. The background to this project is a study of 30 bear burial sites, of which several were archaeologically recorded. Based on this information, a typical feature of these sites are burials in natural rock cavities, caves and in screes and under large boulders. In ... -
Thinking decolonially towards music’s institution: A post-conference reflection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-08)How do we talk about musical colonisation? How do we talk about this work of talking about it; that is, interrogating what we mean by colonisation and its counter-logic of decolonisation or decoloniality? -
Tardigrade diversity and community composition across Norwegian boreal forests
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-26)Tardigrades are common in many terrestrial environments and habitats. Although little is known on their ecological preferences, previous studies found diversity and community composition significantly affected by various variables. This study associated tardigrade species’ records with climatic variables, forest type, and substrate categories exploring tardigrade diversity and species communities ... -
Life through an Ediacaran glaciation: Shale- and diamictite-hosted organic-walled microfossil assemblages from the late Neoproterozoic of the Tanafjorden area, northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-05)New organic-walled microfossil (OWM) assemblages are reported from upper Neoproterozoic glacial and interglacial siliciclastic deposits in Finnmark, northern Norway. A nearly continuous sedimentary succession of the Vestertana Group contains two glaciogenic units, the Smalfjorden and Mortensnes formations, interpreted as end-Cryogenian Marinoan and Ediacaran glaciations, respectively. We investigated ... -
Historical RNA expression profiles from the extinct Tasmanian tiger
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)Paleogenomics continues to yield valuable insights into the evolution, population dynamics, and ecology of our ancestors and other extinct species. However, DNA sequencing cannot reveal tissue-specific gene expression, cellular identity, or gene regulation, which are only attainable at the transcriptional level. Pioneering studies have shown that useful RNA can be extracted from ancient specimens ... -
A Tender World - Transience, Control and the Inevitable
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-12-09)In the thesis, I attempt to investigate uncertainty and change, seen through the concepts of tenderness or vulnerability. Using examples from movements and practices like Deep Adaptation and Deep Listening, I also link this perspective to my recent art practice during the MA studies at UIT through concrete projects, and methodolgies used. -
A New Stenothoid (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Stenothoidae) from a Shallow Water Hydroid Polyp in British Columbia, Canada
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)A new stenothoid species is described from a hydroid polyp in British Columbia, Canada. The new species is provisionally assigned to Metopa as M. insolita sp. nov., pending revision of this genus. -
The World Amphipoda Database: History and Progress
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-06)We provide an overview of the World Amphipoda Database (WAD), a global speciesdatabase that is part of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Launched in 2013, the databasecontains entries for over 10,500 accepted species names. Edited currently by 31 amphipod taxonomists,following WoRMS priorities, the WAD has at least one editor per major group. All accepted speciesare checked by the editors, ... -
Accurate microRNA annotation of animal genomes using trained covariance models of curated microRNA complements in MirMachine
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-23)The annotation of microRNAs depends on the availability of transcriptomics data and expert knowledge. This has led to a gap between the availability of novel genomes and high-quality microRNA complements. Using >16,000 microRNAs from the manually curated microRNA gene database MirGeneDB, we generated trained covariance models for all conserved microRNA families. These models are available in our ... -
Sopp og sjamanisme: Chaga som ein aktør i eit spirituelt entreprenørskap
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-08)Chaga er ein materialitet som har skapt nye konsept, ritual og ein ny økonomi innanfor eit sjamanistisk felt i Noreg. Den samiske sjamanen, Ronald Kvernmo, sitt entreprenørskap viser korleis soppen chaga, gjennom ein kompleks dynamikk, har blitt gjenvunne, dyrka og oppskalert til eit symbol på samisk sjamanisme, berekraft og urfolkskunnskap. Gjennom å utforske korleis chaga bidreg til utviklinga av ... -
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 ... -

De fleste tovingene på Rødlista 2021 er knyttet til skog. Tovinger er en av de største ordenene av insekter i Norge, trolig med opp mot 10 000 arter, og kunnskapen er fortsatt svært mangelfull for flere av familiene. Det er gjort en del endringer i denne utgaven av Rødlista for tovinger, og noen ... -
Choices and omissions of knowledge and social impact in Finnish committee reports on Sámi policies
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)In Finland, the involvement of scholars in politics has been particularly strong: scholars and professors have occupied positions in high politics, produced research that was meant as a direct comment on topical political debates, and been active in civil society (Häggman, 2012). In addition to advising high politics and acting in civil society, the Finnish committee institution, a third emerging ...
