• Barents Virtual University? : plans, problems and possibilities 

      Thorvaldsen, Steinar (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2001)
      The international introduction of Internet during the last 8-10 years has resulted in a reorganisation of the IT-sector. This change is overwhelming, to an extent only few experts could predict.Several influential policy reports recently have argued that our societies are changing from industrial societies into 'information societies', in which the creation and dissemination of knowledge is of ...
    • Barn Banter: An Exploration of Anthropomorphism and ‘Equine-o-morphism’ as Agency 

      Davis, Dona Lee; Maurstad, Anita; Dean, Sarah (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Barn banter describes and analyzes the sardonic and whimsical verbal exchanges of humor as they function both to develop an elaborated sense of imaginative camaraderie, and to typify constructions of personhood, mutuality and community among horses and those who ride with them in three contemporary South Dakota boarding barns. Although a broad literature on the anthropomorphism of animals, including ...
    • Barnegrava på Kveøy. Hvem var hun som lå der? 

      Sommerseth, Ingrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)
      I eldre jernalder (0–600 e. Kr) ble de døde gravlagt inntil gårdene. I flere av gravene finner vi eksotiske smykker og våpen som vitner om langveis kontakt med datidas Europa. Det er fra denne perioden hvor arkeologene finner flest barn gravlagt. Den nordligste barnegrava finnes på gården Hundstad i Kvæfjord.
    • Barrmaelia pseudobombarda (Ascomycota), a rare European species with a peculiar disjunct distribution 

      Mathiassen, Geir Harald; Granmo, Alfred; Rämä, Teppo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-01)
      Lophium elegans (Mytilinidiales, Mytilinidiaceae) is recorded for the first time in northern Europe. It was found on Juniperus communis in two locations in Finnmark County, Norway, which represent the northernmost finds for the species. A morphological description of the species is given and its ecology and distribution discussed.
    • Båtfunn fra middelalderen i Fiskvågvatnet. 

      Wickler, Stephen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2010)
      Rundt 1930 så guttungene Knut Rydning og Petter Borch Giæver noe de mente var vrakrester gjennom isen på to steder i Fiskvågvatnet. En rekke med spanter som tilhørte et større fartøy ble observert på vestsiden av vannet ved Prestlandet.
    • The bear-berry connection: Ecological and management implications of brown bears' food habits in a highly touristic protected area 

      García-Rodríguez, Alberto; Selva, Nuria; Zwijacz-Kozica, Tomasz; Albrecht, Jörg; Lionnet, Clement; Rioux, Delphine; Taberlet, Pierre Robert Michel; De Barba, Marta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)
      Diet studies are essential to understand animal ecology and ecosystem dynamics, especially in the case of large omnivores. These studies are particularly relevant in areas where human disturbance is intense and, thus, species dietary patterns might change due to the easy accessibility of food resources of human origin, which may hinder the ecosystem services these species provide. We assessed the ...
    • Bergli på Tromsøya: Bosetting fra eldre steinalder og tidlig metalltid 

      Grydeland, Sven Erik; Arntzen, Johan Eilertsen (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014)
      Utgravningene på Bergli ble gjennomført i 2009 (Bergli 3) og 2010 (Bergli 1 og 2) og omfattet bosetting fra eldre steinalder til tidlig metalltid. Utgravningen av Bergli 1 og 2 resulterte i funn av 3180 slåtte steingjenstander fordelt på råstoffene flint, kvartsitt, chert og bergkrystall. Det ble i tillegg funnet seks hele slipte steinøkser samt 20 fragmenter. Materialet peker typologisk sett mot ...
    • Betraktninger om middelalderens Vágar basert på undervannsarkeologiske kilder 

      Wickler, Stephen; Falck, Tori; Nymoen, Pål (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2013)
      Vágar er først nevnt i det skriftlige kildematerialet som stedsnavn på slutten av 900-tallet, samt i sagatekstene med henvisning til viktige hendelser på stedet fra tidlig 1000-tall (Bjørgo 1982). Både skriftlige og arkeologiske kilder formidler med tydelighet at Vágar framsto som en sentral kjøpstad i Nord-Norge på 1200-tallet, men overgangen fra det som må ha vært et naturhavnområde og et ...
    • Biological introduction risks from shipping in a warming Arctic 

      Ware, Christopher; Berge, Jørgen; Jelmert, Anders; Olsen, Steffen M.; Pellisier, Loic; Wisz, Mary S.; Kriticos, Darren J.; Semenov, Georgy; Kwasniewski, Sawomir; Alsos, Inger Greve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-14)
      Several decades of research on invasive marine species have yielded a broad understanding of the nature of species invasion mechanisms and associated threats globally. However, this is not true of the Arctic, a region where ongoing climatic changes may promote species invasion. Here, we evaluated risks associated with non-indigenous propagule loads discharged with ships' ballast water to the high-Arctic ...
    • Birch (Betula, Betulacae) bark horns and similar instruments in Norway. 

      Alm, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-30)
      Wooden horns wrapped in coiled birch bark (Norwegian: lur) have a long history in Norway, dating back at least to the 7th century AD. By the Vikings, they were used for various signalling purposes, e.g. during battles. More recent uses are generally peaceful—to celebrate the opening of fairs, announce bishop visitations etc. In the 19th century, playing such instruments was as a popular past-time ...
    • Bjørnejakt og samisk gravtradisjon. 

      Sommerseth, Ingrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)
      Tradisjonene rundt den eldgammel samiske bjørnejakten er godt dokumentert, både arkeologisk og etnografisk. Brunbjørnen var et fryktet og samtidig hellig dyr for samene. Spor etter bjørnejakten finner vi i form av graver med bjørnebein i huler og urer i den nordnorske naturen. Bjørnen ble hedret for å sikre jaktlykke og for å sikre bjørnens tilbakekomst og rettmessige plass i naturen.
    • Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla adults and chicks share the same diet in the southern Barents Sea 

      Thorvaldsen, Renate; Barrett, Robert T.; Pedersen, Torstein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla population is declining throughout its North Atlantic range. In Norway, the species is classified as Endangered on the Norwegian Red List. Studies of diet are one important requirement for effective management of any species. Because it is easier to sample, chick diet has often been considered a proxy for adult diet in many seabird studies, but the ...

      Hole, Johan Terje; Arntzen, Johan Eilertsen; Grydeland, Sven Erik (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2007)
      Et større boplassområde ble funnet i forbindelse med Statens vegvesens ”Reguleringsplan Rv. 17 Tverlandshalvøya” i Bodø kommune, Nordland fylke. Funnene ligger midt i traseen for den nye riksvegen og utgravningene ble konsentrert om to hovedområder: Eidet og Flata. På begge plassene er det boreale gjenstandsfunn i harde bergarter. Det ble også funnet et par gjenstander i slipt skifer. Det ...
    • Brachiopod and mollusc biomineralisation is a conserved process that was lost in the phoronid–bryozoan stem lineage 

      Vikberg Wernström, Joel; Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Hejnol, Andreas Helmut (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-19)
      <p><b> Background</b> Brachiopods and molluscs are lophotrochozoans with hard external shells which are often believed to have evolved convergently. While palaeontological data indicate that both groups are descended from biomineralising Cambrian ancestors, the closest relatives of brachiopods, phoronids and bryozoans, are mineralised to a much lower extent and are comparatively poorly represented ...

    • Changes in Onset of Vegetation Growth on Svalbard, 2000–2020 

      Karlsen, Stein Rune; Elvebakk, Arve; Tømmervik, Hans; Belda, Santiago; Stendardi, Laura (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-15)
      The global temperature is increasing, and this is affecting the vegetation phenology in many parts of the world. The most prominent changes occur at northern latitudes such as our study area, which is Svalbard, located between 76300N and 80500N. A cloud-free time series of MODIS-NDVI data was processed. The dataset was interpolated to daily data during the 2000–2020 period with a 231.65 m pixel ...
