Disaster, traces of displacement, and mizuaoi seeds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-13)Curated by socio-cultural anthropologist Fuyubi Nakamura, the exhibition entitled A Future for Memory: Art and Life after the Great Japan Earthquake at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC in British Columbia addresses the sociocultural role of art produced in situ in the aftermath of the triple disaster which occurred in the Tōhoku region of northeast Japan in 2011. The exhibition’s curatorial project ... -
DNA barcoding a taxonomically complex hemiparasitic genus reveals deep divergence between ploidy levels but lack of species-level resolution
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-24)DNA barcoding is emerging as a useful tool not only for species identification but also for studying evolutionary and ecological processes. Although plant DNA barcodes do not always provide species-level resolution, the generation of large DNA barcode data sets can provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the generation of species diversity. Here, we study evolutionary processes in taxonomically ... -
DNA Metabarcoding of Preservative Ethanol Reveals Changes in Invertebrate Community Composition Following Rotenone Treatment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)The botanical compound rotenone is extensively used to eradicate populations and reduce the negative impacts of freshwater invasive animals. The method is controversial as non-target organisms often are negatively affected, but these effects are highly variable among taxa and may be difficult to monitor on species-level as many invertebrates are challenging or costly to identify using morphology. ... -

The Domestic Turn in Postpandemic Indigenous Arctic Tourism: Emerging Stories of Self and Other
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this article, we explore how the lockdowns followed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent rise in domestic tourism impacted the ways in which Arctic tourism businesses sold and shared their experiences and stories to the domestic tourist–for many, a new and unusual guest. In exploring cases from Greenland and Northern Norway, we are interested in describing tourism marketing and product ... -
The Drabo corymbosae-Papaveretea dahliani − a new vegetation class of the High Arctic polar deserts.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-22)A new class and a new order (Drabo corymbosae-Papaveretea dahliani and Saxifrago oppositifoliae-Papaveretalia dahliani) have been described, and the Papaverion dahliani validated. This is vegetation of zonal habitats in lowlands of the High Arctic subzone A (or Arctic herb, cushion forb or polar desert subzone) and of ecologically equivalent sites at high altitudes on the mountain plateaus of the ... -
The drivers of plant community composition have shifted from external to internal processes over the past 20,000 years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-19)Internal and external factors regulating the past composition of plant communities are difficult to identify in palaeo-vegetation records. Here, we develop an index of relative entropy of community assembly, which applies to changes in the composition of a community over time, measuring disorder in its assembly relative to disassembly. Historical periods of relatively ordered assembly (negative ... -
DYLAN i Dividalen / Dieváidvuovdi. Rapport från WP 1 Tromsø 2012
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2012)Forskningsprojektet DYLAN (Hvordan skal vi forvalte DYnamiske LANdskaper?) är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt med ena foten i naturvetenskapen med paleoekologi, dendroekologi, botanik, zoologi samt bevarandeekologi och andra i kulturvetenskapen med arkeologi och kulturhistoria. Tanken är att ge en helhetlig bild av hur fjellandskapet och de övre dalgångarna i Norge använts och förändrat sig genom ... -

Early to Middle Bronze Age agricultural terraces in north-east England: Morphology, dating and cultural implications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-06)Terracing is found widely in the Mediterranean and in other hilly and mountainous regions of the world. Yet while archaeological attention to these ‘mundane’ landscape features has grown, they remain understudied, particularly in Northern Europe. Here, the authors present a multidisciplinary study of terraces in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. The results date their construction to the Early ... -
The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of young by female breeders in 201 populations of 104 bird species (N = 745,962 clutches) covering all continents between 1970 and 2019. Overall, average offspring production has declined in recent decades, ... -
Effects of asymmetric nuclear introgression, introgressive mitochondrial sweep, and purifying selection on phylogenetic reconstruction and divergence estimates in the pacific clade of Locustella Warblers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-07)When isolated but reproductively compatible populations expand geographically and meet, simulations predict asymmetric introgression of neutral loci from a local to invading taxon. Genetic introgression may affect phylogenetic reconstruction by obscuring topology and divergence estimates. We combined phylogenetic analysis of sequences from one mtDNA and 12 nuDNA loci with analysis of gene flow ... -
Effekter av forurensning på bestandsutviklingen til måser
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2007-06)Måser er toppredatorer i det marine miljø, og er svært utsatt for miljøgifter. Hos arter som sildemåse (Larus fuscus), svartbak (Larus marinus) og polarmåse (Larus hyperboreus) er det dokumentert høye nivåer av organokloriner (OC), som nedsetter immunforsvaret og gir økt forekomst av sykdom, noe som medfører både redusert hekkesuksess og overlevelse av voksne. Selv om det er dokumentert en rekke ... -
Effekter av treslagsskifte, treplanting og nitrogengjødsling i skog på biologisk mangfold. Kunnskapsgrunnlag for å vurdere skogtiltak i klimasammenheng
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)Som oppfølging av St. meld. 21 Norsk klimapolitikk (2011-2012) vurderer regjeringen ulike tiltak for å nå målet om et nettoutslipp av klimagasser innen 2030. I denne sammenheng skal Klima og forurensingsdepartementet (Klif), Direktoratet for naturforvaltning (DN), Statens landbruksforvaltning (SLF) og Norsk institutt for skog og landskap (Skog og Landskap) utvikle miljøkriterier for planting av ... -
Ei barnegrav fra romertid i Nord-Norge
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2009)For rundt 1700 år siden, mot slutten av yngre romertid, ble det gravlagt et lite barn på Hundstad på Kveøya. Funnmaterialet gir indikasjoner på at det er ei jente i 4 års alderen. Jenta har trolig blitt lagt i et steinsatt gravkammer, og hun ble plassert med hodet mot havet i sør. Hun har fått med seg flere gravgaver; ei bøylespenne i bronse, ei glassperle samt en rekke gjenstander av jern. -

Ein sieidi si rolle i religionsutøving i samtida: Skiftande tolkingar og tilnærmingar
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Through contemporary shamanism, parts of pre-Christian practices and symbols are incorporated into new contexts and interpretive frames. One such symbol is the sieidi (Sami sacrificial stone) and heritage site Rikkagallo in Lavangen municipality in Troms. Every year from 2012, shaman Eirik Myrhaug has organized a hike to the sieidi to conduct a ritual inspired by the traditions of his Sámi ... -
The empirical basis for research on farming settlements in northern Norway 1200 BC – 0
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2013)Palynological investigations show that farming became a considerable part of the subsistence economy amongst coastal settlements in northern Norway around 1200-1100 BC. Through a relatively small number of stray finds of Nordic Bronze Age character it is clear that these settlements have had connections to the South. Until recently these findings have not been backed up by settlement data. Two ... -

En sen vikingtids våpengrav med østlige trekk fra Løding, Bodø k.
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-12)Som følge av amatørinngrep i ei vikingtids våpengrav på Østre Løding i Bodø kommune gjennomførte Tromsø Museum ei sikringsutgravning i 2014. Undersøkelsene viste at grava var anlagt på et svaberg med ei naturlig bergrenne som gravkammer. Den gravlagte var utstyrt med et våpensett (øks, sverd og spyd), syv perler av glass, rav og glassfluss og hadde med seg ei hesteskoforma ringspenne med østlig ...
