    • Dietary niches of phocid seals and predatory fishes in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard: Comparisons between co-occurring endemic Arctic and non-endemic species 

      Bengtsson, Olof Mikael (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-10-09)
      Kongsfjorden in the Svalbard Archipelago has transitioned from an Arctic to an Atlantic state due to climate change. Warming of the fjord has led to sea ice reduction, glacial retreat and increasing abundances of Atlantic and boreal species. This process is called Atlantificaiton and is a cause for concern for Arctic endemic species native to Kongsfjorden. In this thesis, dietary niches and feeding ...

    • Explorations into the control of torpor arousal cycling in the Golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) 

      Markussen, Fredrik Andreas Fasth (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-09-05)
      Endothermic animals have inherently high metabolic rates, granting advantages over ectotherms such as increased aerobic capacity, thermal independence, and niche expansion. However, the energy demands of endothermy increase disproportionately with decreasing body size. To mitigate these energetic costs, some endotherms employ metabolic flexibility strategies like torpor, a profound metabolic rate ...
