Climate fluctuations and differential survival of bridled and non-bridled Common Guillemots Uria aalge
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-06-22)Climate fluctuations and its effects on ecological processes are evident in most areas worldwide but whether such climatic effects are induced phenotypic plasticity or whether animals adapt to the new environment through micro‐evolutionary processes is poorly known. In this study we have analyzed long‐term data (22 years) on the relationship between climatic fluctuations and the adult survival of ... -
Climate-Driven Ichthyoplankton Drift Model Predicts Growth of Top Predator Young
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-12)Climate variability influences seabird population dynamics in several ways including access to prey near colonies during the critical chick-rearing period. This study addresses breeding success in a Barents Sea colony of common guillemots Uria aalge where trophic conditions vary according to changes in the northward transport of warm Atlantic Water. A drift model was used to simulate interannual ... -
Clitellate worms (Annelida) in late-glacial and Holocene sedimentary DNA records from the Polar Urals and northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-26)While there are extensive macro‐ and microfossil records of a range of plants and animals from the Quaternary, earthworms and their close relatives amongst annelids are not preserved as fossils and therefore the knowledge of their past distributions is limited. This lack of fossils means that clitellate worms (Annelida) are currently underused in palaeoecological research, even though they can provide ... -
Comprehensive coverage of human last meal components revealed by a forensic DNA metabarcoding approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-23)Stomach content analyses are a valuable tool in human forensic science to interpret perimortem events. While the identifcation of food components of plant and animal origin has traditionally been conducted by macro- and microscopical approaches in case of incomplete digestion, molecular methods provide the potential to increase sensitivity and taxonomic resolution. In particular, DNA metabarcoding ... -
A comprehensive framework for analysis of microRNA sequencing data in metastatic colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-14)Although microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to all hallmarks of cancer, miRNA dysregulation in metastasis remains poorly understood. The aim of this work was to reliably identify miRNAs associated with metastatic progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) using novel and previously published nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) datasets generated from 268 samples of primary (pCRC) and metastatic CRC (mCRC; ... -
Considerations and consequences of allowing DNA sequence data as types of fungal taxa
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-24)Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, ... -
A cosmopolitan, Sami-friendly scholar? Väinö Tanner on the best way to treat the Sami
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The topic of this article is Väinö Tanner’s views on Sami policies, which are searched from numerous contexts, including his personal career and Nordic Sami policies. Also the discur-sive resources, which he re-produced, are charted. Of the contemporaneous Sami policies, he ad-vocated the Swedish variant, which suited better his agendas in his scholarly production on the Skolt Sami. The origin of ... -
Cross-sectional associations between prevalent vertebral fracture and pulmonary function. The sixth Tromso Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Persons with vertebral fracture may have reduced pulmonary function, but this association has not been much studied. The aim of this cross-sectional study was therefore to examine the relationship between vertebral fracture and pulmonary function in a general, elderly population. Vertebral morphometry was used for vertebral fracture assessment in 2132 elderly men (n = 892) and women (n = 1240) aged ... -

Cut above the Rest: a Multi-disciplinary Study of Two Slate Knives from Forager Contexts in Coastal Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-04-05)Slate was a prominent tool material in the Scandinavian Stone Age.However, details of tool function have relied on morphology and have added littleto our understanding of their role in hunting and processing. Here, wedemonstrate that it is possible to identify both the use-wear traces and residuesfrom slate knives from northern Norway. By applying a multi-disciplinaryapproach incorporating ... -
Čuđojoganjálbmi - en tidlig metalltidsboplass fra Indre Finnmark - med spor etter opphold i eldre steinalder.
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014)Čuđojoganjálbmi ligger ved kommunegrensen til Kautokeino og Karasjok midt på Finnmarksvidda. Området ligger i en bred elvedal i den sørlige enden av vannet Vuottašjávri like ved riksvei 92, ca 320 m.o.h. Området er preget av tørre morenemoer bevokst med lyng, lav og fjellbjrøk, myr og våtområder ved vannet. Området er sentral for reindrifta og har tidligere vært brukt som ressursområde for ... -

The decline of Norwegian kittiwake populations: modelling the role of ocean warming.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)The black-legged kittiwake Rissa tridactyla is a pelagic seabird whose population has recently declined in most parts of the North Atlantic and which is red-listed in most bordering countries. To investigate a possible cause for this decline, we analysed the population dynamics of 5 kittiwake colonies along the Norwegian coast, ranging from 62° to 71° N, over the last 20 to 35 yr. By quantifying the ... -

Den samiske bjørnekultuen - arkeologiske spor til samisk historie og religion.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper aims to present an ongoing research project about the Sámi bear graves in Norway. The paper focuses on bear graves related to burial customs and rituals associated with cavities. It also addresses the fact that, as can be seen from the many Rock carvings, dated from 8000–2000 BCE, the bear was often portrayed as a vital and significant animal to people in prehistoric times. The background ... -

The dependence of long-distance migration to North Norway on environmental conditions in the wintering area and en route
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)The onset of bird migration may be under partial endogenous control whereas the timing of movement is flexible with weather and conditions faced by the moving birds being the ultimate cause of variability of arrival dates. This study shows that the early arrival dates of two of three long-distance passerine spring migrants (Willow Warblers Phylloscopus trochilus and Chiffchaffs P. collybita) in North ... -
