Resource Partitioning in Food, Space and Time between Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and European Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) at the Southern Edge of Their Continuous Coexistence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Arctic charr and European whitefish are considered to be strong competitors in lakes, with the latter usually being the superior species. However, high niche plasticity and lake morphometry may suggestively facilitate resource partitioning and coexistence between charr and whitefish. Here, we explore the trophic niche utilization (diet and habitat use) of charr and whitefish co-occurring with brown ...
Allometric trajectories of body and head morphology in three sympatric Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) morphs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-08)
A study of body and head development in three sympatric reproductively isolated Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) morphs from a subarctic lake (Skogsfjordvatn, northern Norway) revealed allometric trajectories that resulted in morphological differences. The three morphs were ecologically assigned to a littoral omnivore, a profundal benthivore and a profundal piscivore, and this was confirmed ...
The trade-off between fecundity and egg size in a polymorphic population of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) in Skogsfjordvatn, subarctic Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-26)
Reproductive traits differ between intralacustrine Arctic charr morphs. Here, we ex
-
amine three sympatric lacustrine Arctic charr morphs with respect to fecundity, egg
size and spawning time/site to assess reproductive investments and trade-
offs, and
possible fitness consequences. The littoral omnivore morph (LO-
morph) utilizes the
upper water for feeding and reproduction and spawn ...
Molecular analyses reveal high cryptic diversity of trematodes in a sub-Arctic lake
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-14)
To identify trematode diversity and life-cycles in the sub-Arctic Lake Takvatn, Norway, we characterised
120 trematode isolates from mollusc first intermediate hosts, metacercariae from second intermediate
host fishes and invertebrates, and adults from fish and invertebrate definitive hosts, using molecular
techniques. Phylogenies based on nuclear and/or mtDNA revealed high species richness (24 ...
