    • The Sámi Pathfinders: Addressing the Knowledge Gap in Norwegian Mainstream Education 

      Walsh-Knarvik, Kimble Lee (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-02)
      For at least two decades, lack of knowledge about the Sámi in Norway has been recognised as a reason for the perpetuation of stereotypes and discriminatory acts and hate speech towards them. Education about the Sámi, their lifeways, culture and rights is posited as a means of closing this gap, with the intention of influencing the majority Norwegian society’s attitudes towards the Sámi. The ...
    • A new species of Lysinoe (Gastropoda: Helicoidea) from the Oligocene of Mexico 

      Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-27)
      In her 1945 study on the Tertiary fossil mollusks of northeastern Mexico, Gardner listed only 2 taxa of land snails: Holospira eva Gardner, 1945 and “Helix” sp. The latter is recognized here as a new species of Lysinoe Adams & Adams, 1855 (Helicoidea, Xanthonychidae). The new species can be diagnosed from its congeners by its flattened shell profile, a lower body whorl with a faint angulation on ...
