    • The Impact of Methane on Microbial Communities at Marine Arctic Gas Hydrate Bearing Sediment 

      Carrier, Vincent; Svenning, Mette Marianne; Gründger, Friederike; Niemann, Helge; Dessandier, Pierre-Antoine; Panieri, Giuliana; Kalenitchenko, Dimitri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)
      Cold seeps are characterized by high biomass, which is supported by the microbial oxidation of the available methane by capable microorganisms. The carbon is subsequently transferred to higher trophic levels. South of Svalbard, five geological mounds shaped by the formation of methane gas hydrates, have been recently located. Methane gas seeping activity has been observed on four of them, ...

      Bøhn, Thomas; Sandlund, Odd Terje; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Primicerio, Raul (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2004-05-17)
      The fish species vendace (<i>Coregonus albula</i>) invaded the sub‐arctic Pasvik watercourse during the second half of the 1980s, and became the dominant pelagic species in the upstream part of the watercourse within a few years. Life history traits of the pioneer population of vendace in Pasvik were recorded from 1991–2000. A rapid increase in population density in the upstream part of the watercourse ...

      Ancin Murguzur, Francisco Javier; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)
      Climate change is affecting the biodiversity, ecosystem services and the well-being of people that live in the Arctic tundra. Understanding the societal implications and adapting to these changes depend on knowledge produced by multiple disciplines. We analysed peer-reviewed publications to identify the main research themes relating to the Arctic tundra and assessed to what extent current research ...

    • Prediction of square mesh panel and codend size selectivity of blue whiting based on fish morphology 

      Cuende, Elsa; Arregi, Luis; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu; Aboitiz, Xabier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)
      Square mesh panels (SMPs) are selective devices used extensively to supplement codend size selectivity in trawl fisheries. Therefore, predictions of the effect of mesh size in both SMPs and codends on size selectivity are valuable. Here, we established a framework to predict the size selection of blue whiting through different SMPs and diamond mesh codends based on the morphological characteristics ...

Together with the GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor, the receptor mediates the neurotransmission of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). In recent decades, the receptor has been extensively studied with the intention being to understand ...

    • Integrating dispersal along freshwater ecosystems into species distribution models 

      Perrin, Sam Wenaas; Englund, Göran; Blumentrath, Stefan; O'Hara, Robert Brian; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Finstad, Anders Gravbrøt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-29)
      <i>Aim</i> - Our ability to model species distributions and abundances is a valuable ecological tool in predicting future distributions of species. Effectively incorporating connectivity into these predictions is crucial; however, many connectivity measures utilize metrics which may not have a direct relation to the dispersal capacity of the species they are attempting to model. The identification ...

    • Effect of mechanical properties of monofilament twines on the catch efficiency of biodegradable gillnets 

      Grimaldo, Eduardo; Herrmann, Bent; Jacques, Nadine; Su, Biao; Vollstad, Jørgen; Su, Biao (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)
      Gillnets made of the biodegradable resin polybutylene succinate co-adipate-co-terephthalate were tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare their fishing performance with that of conventional nylon polyamide (PA) gillnets. Both types of gillnets were made of 0.55 mm Ø monofilaments. However, since the biodegradable nets are weaker than nylon PA nets when using the same monofilament diameter, ...
