    • When details matter: Integrative revision of Holarctic Coelophthinia Edwards (Diptera, Mycetophilidae), including mapping of its mitogenome, leads to the description of four new pseudocryptic species 

      Kjærandsen, Jostein; Kerr, Peter H.; Lindemann, Jon Peder; Kurina, Olavi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-14)
      Background - The small genus Coelophthinia Edwards, 1941 of the subfamily Gnoristinae (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) is so far known to harbour four species from the Palaearctic, Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. Extensive DNA barcoding of fungus gnats of the family Mycetophilidae through the International Barcode of Life project (iBOL) have initiated integrative studies resulting in taxonomic upgrades ...
    • When Older Males Sire More Ofspring—Increased Attractiveness or Higher Fertility? 

      Lifjeld, Jan Terje; Kleven, Oddmund; Fossøy, Frode; Jacobsen, Frode F.; Laskemoen, Terje; Rudolfsen, Geir; Robertson, Raleigh J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-23)
      In birds with extrapair mating, older males usually have higher fertilization success than younger males. Two hypotheses can potentially explain this pattern: 1) females prefer older, and often more ornamented males, or 2) older males invest more in reproduction and fertility than younger males. Here we studied factors associated with age-related male fertilization success in a population of barn ...
    • When things go wrong: intra-season dynamics of breeding failure in a seabird 

      Ponchon, Aurore; Grémillet, David J.H.; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Erikstad, Kjell E; Barrett, Robert T.; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; McCoy, Karen D.; Tveraa, Torkild; Boulinier, Thierry (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-16)
      During breeding, long-lived species face important time and energy constraints that can lead to breeding failure when food becomes scarce. Despite the potential implications of intra-season dynamics in breeding failure for individual behavior, carry-over effects, dispersal decisions and population dynamics, little information is currently available on these dynamics at fine temporal scales. Here, ...
    • Whips in Horse-Human Relations 

      Maurstad, Anita (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Most people, and some animals, are familiar with the whip’s properties. As a material object, it is a little thin stick. In the hands of a human, it can inflict fear and pain. Knowledge about pain qualities is deeply embedded in most human cultures. Its bare presence is often enough to scare and raise concerns about abuse. As such, the whip has tremendous powers – human use through thousands of ...
    • Whose Settler Colonial State? Arctic Railway, Changing State Space and Settler Self-Indigenization in Northern Finland 

      Junka-Aikio, Laura (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-01)
      Settler colonial theory has effectively highlighted the continuity of colonial structures, but less attention has been paid on how also the settler state has transformed over time, and how such changes have affected the manifold relationships between the state, the settlers and the natives. This article addresses trajectories of settler colonial change in Finland, building on theories of state ...
    • Women and Children First: the Gendered and Generational Social-ecology of Smaller-scale Fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador and Northern Norway 

      Neis, Barbara; Gerrard, Siri; Power, Nicole (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The resilience of small-scale fisheries in developed and developing countries has been used to provide lessons to conventional managers regarding ways to transition toward a social-ecological approach to understanding and managing fisheries. We contribute to the understanding of the relationship between management and the resilience of small-scale fisheries in developed countries by looking at ...

      We provide an overview of the World Amphipoda Database (WAD), a global speciesdatabase that is part of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Launched in 2013, the databasecontains entries for over 10,500 accepted species names. Edited currently by 31 amphipod taxonomists,following WoRMS priorities, the WAD has at least one editor per major group. All accepted speciesare checked by the editors, ...
    • Yoik experiences and possible positive health outcomes: An explorative pilot study 

      Hämäläinen, Soile; Musial, Frauke; Graff, Ola; Olsen, Torjer Andreas; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      Background: Yoik is an old vocal music tradition of Sami, the indigenous people inhabiting Northern Fennoscandia and Kola peninsula in Russia. Studies of music therapy (MT) and especially singing have documented improvements in social and overall functioning in people With severe mental disorders and positive effect on depressive symptoms and sleep quality. Possible connections between yoik and ...
