Phenotype-environment association of the oxygen transport system in trimorphic European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-23)
Anthropogenic hybridization between endangered migratory and commercially harvested stationary whitefish taxa (Coregonus spp.)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Walking the talk: implementing the international voluntary guidelines for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Gut morphology of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Triploid fish may differ from diploids in a number of morphological and physiological characteristics. The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of ploidy on the gut morphology of Atlantic salmon post-smolts (Salmo salar L.). For this purpose, we compared the intestinal length (relative gut length, RGL), pyloric caeca number and mass of commercially produced diploid and triploid siblings. ...
Cellulase activity screening using pure carboxymethylcellulose: Application to soluble cellulolytic samples and to plant tissue prints.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Reliable, rapid and inexpensive detection of cellulolytic enzymes that can be used for a wide variety of biological and environmental samples are currently in high demand. Here, a new cellulase detection protocol is described that circumvents problems observed with popular agar-based methods by exploiting the ability of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) to form gel-like surfaces on its own. These pure ...
The role of predation and food limitation on claims for compensation, reindeer demography and population dynamics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10)
1.A major challenge in biodiversity conservation is to facilitate viable populations of large apex predators in ecosystems where they were recently driven to ecological extinction due to resource conflict with humans. 2. Monetary compensation for losses of livestock due to predation is currently a key instrument to encourage human–carnivore coexistence. However, a lack of quantitative estimates ...
Community-wide mesocarnivore response to partial ungulate migration

Molecular characterization and phylogenetics of Fennoscandian cowpox virus isolates based on the p4c and atip genes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Background: Cowpox virus (CPXV), a rodent-borne Orthopoxvirus (OPV) that is indigenous to Eurasia can infect humans,
cattle, felidae and other animals. Molecular characterization of CPXVs isolated from different geographic locations is
important for the understanding of their biology, geographic distribution, classification and evolution. Our aim was to
characterize CPXVs isolated from Fennoscandia ...
Use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in a multi-scale vegetation index study of arctic plant communities in Adventdalen on Svalbard
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) gives the opportunity to carry out research with a re-duced environmental footprint. Unmanned aircraft, including both fixed wing and multi rotor types (helicopters) allow us to collect very high resolution image data for vegetation mapping without the need for any personnel walking into the site and thereby potentially disturbing the sensitive Arctic ecosystems. ...
DNA barcoding of the northern Northeast Atlantic skates (Chondrichthyes, Rajiformes), with remarks on the widely distributed starry ray
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-23)
The skate fauna in the northern Northeast (NE) Atlantic is poorly investigated, and misidentifications are common. Here, ‘DNA barcoding’ was used to analyse 105 specimens of 15 species previously reported from the area to investigate the occurrence of species. Of these 15 species, three were new to the region and confirmed with voucher specimens. Three previously reported taxa were not obtained from ...
