Ghost fishing efficiency in swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) pot fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a global challenge that negatively affects marine environment through plastic pollution and continued capture of marine animals, so-called “ghost fishing”. In different pot fisheries, ghost fishing related to ALDFG is of concern, including pot fishery targeting swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus). This study quantified the ghost ... -
Competition and interdependence define interactions of Nostoc sp. and Agrobacterium sp. under inorganic carbon limitation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-03-08)Cyanobacteria of the Nostoc genus are capable of forming symbiotic relationships with plants but also serve as a hub for heterotrophic bacteria. By comparing the axenic strain Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102 and the xenic strains Nostoc sp. KVJ2 and KVJ3, we were able to demonstrate an almost obligate dependence of the cyanobacteria on the heterotrophic partners under carbon-limiting conditions. A ... -
Toward the integration of speciation research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-16)Speciation research—the scientific field focused on understanding the origin and diversity of species—has a long and complex history. While relevant to one another, the specific goals and activities of speciation researchers are highly diverse, and scattered across a collection of different perspectives. Thus, our understanding of speciation will benefit from efforts to bridge scientific findings ... -
The Ethical Food Tourist

Weaving knowledge: writing letters with wool
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)We are a group of three women: an artist, a researcher, and a museum professional, who at the same time struggle to be defined as “something”. Each of us has a different relationship to wool, yet, as we have come to see, wool dissolves the type of difference that would prevent us from finding our connection. For some of us, wool is a material to work with and create with— and more. For others of us, ... -
The future Barents Sea—A synthesis of physical, biogeochemical, and ecological changes toward 2050 and 2100
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-02-21)The Barents Sea is a hotspot for ongoing Arctic climate change, manifested in a rapid warming of the ocean and the atmosphere and a strong decline of the winter sea-ice cover. These changes in the physical environment have large consequences for marine ecosystems, including commercial fish populations. In a warmer future climate, both physical and ecological changes are expected to intensify. ... -
Investigating the quantile-varying impact of energy policy uncertainty on mineral-driven renewable energy production: Evidence from Germany
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-02-10)The recent climate crisis has solemnized renewable energy for emission reduction and halting an environmental disaster globally.

However, an overview of whether and to what extent Arctic policies address these nexus elements in concert has ... -
Transcriptional responses to Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) and stress hormones in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) red blood cells
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-03-14)Fish red blood cells (RBCs) are nucleated and metabolically active with physiological and immunological properties. Salmonid RBCs are target cells of Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), a double-stranded RNA virus with three known genotypes (PRV-1, 2 and 3). PRV-1 can give heart and skeletal muscle inflammation to farmed Atlantic salmon, which can lead to mortality in combination with stress, PRV-3 is ... -
