      Garces Pastor, Sandra; Alsos, Inger Greve; Coissac, Eric; Lavergne, Sébastien; Schwörer, Christoph; Theurillat, Jean-Paul; Heintzman, Peter D.; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Tinner, Willy; Rey, Fabian; Heer, Martina; Rutzer, Astrid; Walsh, Kevin; Lammers, Youri; Brown, Antony G.; Goslar, Tomasz; Rijal, Dilli P.; Karger, Dirk N.; Pellissier, Loïc; Heiri, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-04)
      The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation, temperature, human impact and livestock over the past ~12,000 years from Lake Sulsseewli, based on sedimentary ancient plant and mammal DNA, pollen, spores, chironomids, and microcharcoal. We assembled a highly-complete local DNA ...

      Veldman, Sarina; Gravendeel, Barbara; Otieno, Joseph; Lammers, Youri; Duijm, Elza; Nieman, Aline; Bytebier, Benny; Ngugi, Grace; Martos, Florent; van Andel, TR; de Boer, Hugo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-01)
      Chikanda is a traditional dish made with wild-harvested ground orchid tubers belonging to three orchidioid genera, Disa, Satyrium and Habenaria, all of which are CITES appendix II-listed. Identification of collected orchid tubers is very difficult and documentation of constituent species in prepared chikanda has hitherto been impossible. Here amplicon metabarcoding was used in samples of six prepared ...
    • Historical RNA expression profiles from the extinct Tasmanian tiger 

      Mármol-Sánchez, Emilio; Fromm, Bastian; Oskolkov, Nikolay; Pochon, Zoé; Kalogeropoulos, Panagiotis; Eriksson, Eli; Biryukova, Inna; Sekar, Vaishnovi; Ersmark, Erik; Andersson, Björn; Dalén, Love; Friedländer, Marc R. (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 ...
    • Holocene floristic diversity and richness in northeast Norway revealed by sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) and pollen 

      Clarke, Charlotte; Edwards, Mary Elizabeth; Brown, Antony Gavin; Gielly, Ludovic; Lammers, Youri; Heintzman, Peter D.; Murguzur, Francisco Javier Ancin; Bråthen, Kari Anne; Goslar, Tomasz; Alsos, Inger Greve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-30)
      We present a Holocene record of floristic diversity and environmental change for the central Varanger Peninsula, Finnmark, based on ancient DNA extracted from the sediments of a small lake (<i>sed</i>aDNA). The record covers the period c. 10 700 to 3300 cal. a BP and is complemented by pollen data. Measures of species richness, sample evenness and beta diversity were calculated based on <i>sed</i>aDNA ...
    • Holocene vegetation change in northernmost Fennoscandia and the impact on prehistoric foragers 12 000–2000 cal. a BP – A review 

      Sjøgren, Per Johan E; Damm, Charlotte Brysting (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-14)
      While single pollen records are widely used in reconstructing the environment for nearby prehistoric settlements, they are less helpful when addressing large‐scale issues of variation in human settlement patterns. In order to assess the impact of vegetation change on regional prehistoric settlement and subsistence patterns in an ecotone sensitive area, we inferred the general change in main vegetation ...
    • How many species of Mollusca are there in Brazil? A collective taxonomic effort to reveal this still unknown diversity 

      Machado, Fabrizio M.; Miranda, Marcel S.; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Pimenta, Alexandre D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-11)
      The expression ‘you need to know to conserve’ is a well-known cliche among biologists. Documenting the richness of a group of organisms is the first step towards understanding biodiversity and preparing efficient conservation plans. In this context, many efforts have been made to quantify the number of species on Earth and estimate the number of species still unknown to science. A few countries have ...
    • Hr. Kaptein Jacobsen og hans arbeid for Bergens national-ethnografiske forening 

      Baglo, Cathrine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      I mars 1892 ble Bergens national-ethnografiske forening dannet med formål om å opprette et norsk folkemuseum i byen, enten som egen institusjon eller tilknyttet Bergens Museum. Museet hadde da en mindre samling norske "bondegjenstande". Nå ønsket man å sette i gang et større samlingsarbeid, med vekt på Vestlandet. Allerede fra starten var foreningen tydelig på hvem de ønsket skulle utføre arbeidet, ...
    • Human-environment interactions in the Mesolithic – The case of site Paliwodzizna 29, a lakeside site in central Poland 

      Osipowicz, Grzegorz; Badura, Monika; Brown, Antony Gavin; Hudson, Samuel M.; Jankowski, Michał; Makowiecki, Daniel; Noryśkiewicz, Agnieszka M.; Orłowska, Justyna; Sykuła, Marcin; Weckwerth, Piotr (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-10)
      Human-environmental relations before agriculture can be revealed at archaeological sites through multi-method palaeoenvironmental studies, particularly at sites which have both dryland and wetland areas. Paliwodzizna 29 is such as site, being a series of pits and hearths at the edge of Lake Grodno in Central Poland. A combination of faunal analysis, lithostratigraphy, pollen, diaspores, charcoal and ...
    • Human–environment dynamics during the Iron Age in the Lofoten Islands, Norway 

      Balascio, Nicholas L.; Wickler, Stephen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-01)
      Integrated archaeological and paleoenvironmental investigations provide long-term perspectives on human–environment interactions. In the North Atlantic region, early human settlements were established in marginal agricultural environments and were susceptible to various environmental stressors. The Lofoten Islands have had an important role in the history of this region, particularly during the ...
    • Hunting for Hide. Investigating an Other-Than-Food Relationship Between Stone Age Hunters and Wild Animals in Northern Europe 

      Skandfer, Marianne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-18)
      In archaeological hunter-gatherer research, animals are primarily seen as food. Alternatively, they are proposed to serve as symbols and devices for social structuring of human societies. A growing body of literature in humanities and social sciences now looks into the role of animals as social and sentient co-beings. It is becoming increasingly clear that the roles of animals as other-than-food ...

    • Hva gjør vi med reindriften? 

      Bjørklund, Ivar (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2013)
      Den samiske reindriften står i dag ved en skillevei – sammen med norske myndigheter. Veivalget handler om man fortsatt vil opprettholde den siste samiske kulturbærende næring eller om man vil handle på tvers av folkerettslige forpliktelser, lovfestede rettigheter og allmenn politisk anstendighet. Reindriftens skjebne er at den alltid har vært forvaltet og forstått gjennom de ideologiske oppfatninger ...
    • Hvor godt er karplantefloraen i Norge kartlagt? 3. Nordland 

      Alm, Torbjørn; Pedersen, Oddvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Nordland is Norway’s second largest county, with an areal extent of 38,482 km 2 . In general, Nordland is reasonably well covered in terms of botanical exploration, with few blank areas. No flora covering the entire area has ever been compiled, but floristic surveys are available from several part areas, ranging in size from single localities to large districts. Still, the absence of a ...
    • Høyvikhaugen, Vadsø k. Sikringsundersøkelse og retting av skader på boplass fra eldre steinalder, og tuft og bosetningsspor fra yngre steinalder 

      Niemi, Anja Roth; Oppvang, Janne (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-07-31)
      I forbindelse med oppsetting av sirklingslys ved Vadsø Lufthavn ble det i 2007 forvoldt skade på tre automatisk fredete kulturminner. Riksantikvaren fattet vedtak om sikring av de skadete delene av lokaliteten, som innebar utgraving og dokumentasjon, revegetering og restaurering av kulturmiljø, samt miljøovervåking av bevaringsforholdene i en tuft. Resultatene fra undersøkelsene viser til ulike ...

      Ragazzi, Rossella (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012-06)
    • Indigenous Religions in the Sixth Missionary District: The Case of the Hillsa Drum 

      Storm, Dikka; Fonneland, Trude (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Sámi drums are central in understanding the indigenous religions in earlier Sámi societies.1 The recently reported find of the goavddis (drum) from Hillsá opens for a view into a complex religious world in a period of religious change and transformation. We believe the goavddis is an important object that can help shed light on Sámi cultures in the past and present, as well as contribute to new ...
    • Individual genotypes from environmental DNA: Fingerprinting snow tracks of three large carnivore species 

      De Barba, Marta; Baur, Molly; Boyer, Frédéric; Fumagalli, Luca; Konec, Marjeta; Miquel, Christian; Pazhenkova, Elena; Remollino, Nadège; Skrbinšek, Tomaž; Stoffel, Céline; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
      Continued advancements in environmental DNA (eDNA) research have made it possible to access intraspecific variation from eDNA samples, opening new opportunities to expand non-invasive genetic studies of wildlife populations. However, the use of eDNA samples for individual genotyping, as typically performed in non-invasive genetics, still remains elusive. We present successful individual genotyping ...
