The preservation of ancient DNA in archaeological fish bone
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-09)The field of ancient DNA is dominated by studies focusing on terrestrial vertebrates. This taxonomic bias limits our understanding of endogenous DNA preservation for species with different bone physiology, such as teleost fish. Teleost bone is typically brittle, porous, lightweight, and is characterized by a lack of bone remodeling during growth. All of these factors potentially affect DNA preservation. ... -

Provenance, depositional setting and diagenesis as keys to reservoir quality of the Lower Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-06)This study examines the role of the depositional environment for the final reservoir quality in four Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the southwestern Barents Sea by linking facies to the distribution of primary textures, composition, and diagenetic alteration. Facies analysis reveals slope-to-basin-floor, distal shallow-marine, and deltaic depositional environments. The slope-to-basin-floor ... -
Increased functional diversity warns of ecological transition in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-07)As temperatures rise, motile species start to redistribute to more suitable areas, potentially affecting the persistence of several resident species and altering biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In the Barents Sea, a hotspot for global warming, marine fish from boreal regions have been increasingly found in the more exclusive Arctic region. Here, we show that this shift in species distribution ... -
Instance Segmentation of Microscopic Foraminifera
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-16)Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms that construct shells that remain as fossils in the marine sediments. Classifying and counting these fossils are important in paleo-oceanographic and -climatological research. However, the identification and counting process has been performed manually since the 1800s and is laborious and time-consuming. In this work, we present a deep learning-based ... -
Male rat sexual behavior: Insights from inter-copulatory intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)The assessment of sexual behavior in male rats with the aim of unraveling underlying neurobiological mechanisms has in the recent decades been reduced to the annotation of mounts, intromissions and ejaculations. To provide a better understanding of the structure and patterns of copulation, it is necessary to extend and tailor the analysis to the natural organization of male rat copulation. This will ... -

Approaching the boundary problem: Self-determination, inclusion, and the unpuzzling of transboundary conflicts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-03)In recent decades, decisionmakers have increasingly faced conflicts juxtaposing demands for self-determination and inclusion. Political theorists term this juxtaposition “the boundary problem.” They have offered normative solutions, especially for “just inclusion,” proposing what states owe to exogenous individuals like migrants and refugees. Meanwhile, as I show, legal scholars have developed ... -
